Bogatiri Live In Russia, the collaborative album by Violet, Alexei Borisov, and Michael Gendreau, is a stunning work of experimental music that showcases the diverse talents of these three artists. The album was recorded live in Russia, and the energy and spontaneity of the performance are palpable throughout.
The album opens with "Bogatiri," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie, atmospheric soundscapes and haunting vocals. From there, the album moves through a range of styles and moods, from the frenetic energy of "Siren" to the hypnotic rhythms of "Dance of the Dead."
Throughout the album, Violet, Borisov, and Gendreau demonstrate their mastery of a wide range of instruments and techniques, from traditional instruments like guitar and percussion to more experimental tools like field recordings and electronic manipulation. The result is a rich, textured sound that is both innovative and deeply engaging.
