И тайное общество битмейкеров

Surmachina


Secret markings on a back alley wall, an inconspicuous door, a secret knocking at 90 beats per minute, ritual handshakes... Welcome to the Secret Society of Beatmakers.

This is where old school is mixed with modern synthesizers and drum machines. Live double bass and flutes, samplers (roland sp 404, elektron digitakt) and synthesizers (arturia micrifreak, dreadbox typhon) - all this formed the basis of Surmachina's already signature sound.

The new album is about the power of rhythm, about life in the big city, about peace of mind and the Way...
 
Surmachina is a beatmaker's project from the north of Moscow, which absorbed the ideas of classic hip-hop, noir-jazz, and lo-fi aesthetics. In each of his releases, he experiments with a new sound. For example, the album “Japanese Notes”, is recorded in the format of travel notes: with warm guitars, dictaphone recordings and jazz melodies. And the album “Strange Rhythms of Evening Moscow Region” is united by reflection on the theme of megapolis and its suburbs. Sometimes, in Surmachina tracks you can hear a hoarse saxophone and enchanting female vocals. 
Last year's release “Onega” mixed hip-hop beats, electronics and authentic instruments. In particular: recordings of Solovetsky choir, Bulgarian and Pomor chants, sampled Scandinavian talharpa (bowed instrument) and Carpathian kalyuka (flute).
