Igor Yakovenko - The Music Machine

Listen and download: “The Music Machine” is a kind of gear for generating music codes and ciphers, which in fact turns out to be quite sentimental and empathic. Various devices and mechanisms are becoming more and more human while people, on the other hand, are moving away from each other. The name belongs to Victor Alimpiev, with whom we had an interesting interview back in 2017. The music for this album was written back in 2017-2018 and was originally composed for a voice and piano duet as a cycle of 14 vocalises. Later I rearranged this material for the ensemble, which included Kristina Kovaleva, Alisa Ten, Ivan Akatov, Azat Gaifullin, Artem Baskakov and Alexander Zinger. We sound on the album with them.
