Polina Voronova: Luxurious
Polina Voronova,
Ilias Mikanaev,
Nikita Golyshev
Polina Voronova is a collaborative project by three young composers from Moscow/Russia. The members of this community are Nikita Golyshev, Ilias Mikanaev and, of course, Polina Voronova. This is a group in which all the members play take different roles in a music process depending on a specific live performance or an album. Nikita Golyshev provides the basic role of music recording and production, Ilias Mikanaev is responsible for mixing and sound-producing and Polina Voronova, as a final central point of this creative action, collects all the pieces together into a complete composition.
The debut album, Luxurious, was recorded during a one-month period in a home studio and released on the self-made Musica Excentrica net label to demonstrate that experimental music in its minimal and rather weird forms can be a curious expression of the individual human spirit of an electronic youth all over the world.
