Drumazhur
«Drumazhur» was recorded live at Azhurnaya Rotunda in Moscow's Gorky Park in the summer of 2018. «Drumazhur» is record of a one and a half hour performance of the quartet of four drummers, where the musicians do solos, manage to play duets and cleverly split into a trio, and then turn into a massive quartet again, sounding sometimes arrhythmically, loudly and menacingly, sometimes quietly, meditatively and bewitchingly. The cross of four bass drums at once is amplified by the ringing of several cymbals at once, and multiple shots on snare drums will more likely resemble a sound illusion in which it is impossible to correctly set rhythmic accents or find an stressed vowel.

In the middle of the concert, three saxophonists — Sergey Khramtсevich, Alexander Serechenko and Irina Kachan — joined the percussionists and heated the joint improvisation to a critical level. That concert attracted a large outside unprepared spectators audience. The music captured their attention at the moment, turning it into full-fledged participants in the performance — screams, hooting and loud applause only add to this record of energy, passion and a special sense of freedom".
