Like sound track of Tarkovsky!
Fitz Ellarald is one of projects by Vladislav Dobrovolski, an artist/DJ who is representing Russian electronics, based in Moscow. Since the 90s, he had joined some electric pop bands, and has played some kinds of instruments and computers. The pieces in "The very air..." were created by live improvisation and studio editing by using old Soviet synths, instruments & tape. The music of Fitz has textures of peculiar sound scapes or Russian avant-garde direct descent with it. Beautiful noise like Fennesz (tr1), very Soviet synth sound (tr5), like movie of Tarkovsky (tr6), electro-jazz (tr10). He also makes visual art using scanning technique put natural things on digital scanner. Macro & micro natures are described very well as well as Tarkovsky's movie.
