ALEXANDR VATAGIN
Serza (valeot 015 LP/CD)
"Serza" is Alexandr Vatagins third solo album. It combines the analogue and tender atmosphere of "Valeot" with the harsh, yet subtle digital electronics of "Shards" and is attesting to a consequent development towards maturity in sound and structure. The album features a huge spectrum of common as well as unusual instruments and friends from all over the world including Martin Siewert (Radian, Trapist), Hideki Umezawa (Pawn), James Yates (Epic 45, Pattern Theory), Fabian Pollack, Giulio Aldinucci and all Tupolev members.
