about

The Russian Concerts Vol. 1 is the first of two new albums from this unique Trio to come out on FMR Records this year. The music, entirely improvised by François Carrier, Michel Lambert and Alexey Lapin, was recorded during a series of four concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg in April 2013. Volume 1 showcases four outstanding collective improvisations from their appearances at DOM Cultural Center and at the Nikitskaya Jewish Cultural Center in Moscow.

The music strives to slip mundane bonds, to shoot skyward, to transgress gravity’s hold and a communion with the firmament.

These three architects of spontaneous sound have no interest in permanence or in personal glory but more in the act of striving, of attempting to scale the sky and touch the untouchable. This is why they build these sonic temples with their bare souls.
