WHO ARE THEY
Grigory Sandomirsky, keyboardist and the leader of “Lampa Ladino”, a band reinterpreting Judeo-Spanish songs. A classical doublebass player Vladimir Kudryavtsev, co-founder of the SounDrama musical theater company; and their motley band of like-minded individuals. Drummer Piotr Talalay plays with intellectual jazz projects and leads his Ensemble Priot combo. Violinist Maria Logofet can be heard both at philharmonic halls and at rock clubs. Clarinetist Andrey Bessonov is a long-time member of Mishouris Blues Band. Ilya Vilkov played trombone in famous Russian big bands and the band Kvartal.
HOW DOES IT SOUND
So try to imagine how it sounds. Goat’s Notes’ modus operandi is open-form, real-time creativity based on pure contact. This evolves into something pretty well-defined for some minutes – from tomfoolery dance to grim blues. At other times the instruments roar and cluck, exercise in various playing techniques, then easily form some unexpected unions, like a trio of the talkative trombone, the cold-blooded double bass and the either passionate or sarcastic violin, which is interesting already in itself. The voices become instruments too. Musical events are cut off as unexpectedly as they are created.
