Biography
There are hundreds of musical chords breaking into turbulent modern life nowadays; dance floors are full of different sounds. The megalopolis dweller is constantly surrounded by millions of noises, it is hardly possible to recognize the voices in the crowd as well as to mark the special band out of the great number which are eager to catch your attention. It’s such a difficult thing – not to pass by and lose the feeling of the individuality of one particular music band and the charm of its members. But if you stop for a second, just slacken the speed, you will catch an absolutely different wave among shuffling bass lines and acute electronics. “Stemvelta” – is that young band which creates such atmosphere. The band of 4 people started its journey in spring 2008 under the control of Dmitry Lihner (bass, samples) and Igor Obruchnikov (guitar, samples), and at the beginning the band was about to make post-rock music and noise, but soon as the band broke up, the founders decided to work together and to change their direction into trip-hop. In November 2008 musicians recorded their first EP under the title “Red Knots And Long Dresses” and the new members appeared. The slow guitar fingering of Egor Oreshkin combined with whispered vocals by Margeret Kolesnikova added to the deep bass sound in the best traditions of “Tool” and “A perfect circle” and the atmospheric percussion of Roman Yudin. The search of the original sound which could embrace the new as well as the old ideas and further experiments took a lot of time.
Now the band makes its way in trip-hop and dark fusion mixing all this with alternative rock and industrial sound and is opened for any new experiments in future. The new songs will be released on the debut album which will come out in spring-summer 2010.
