= oleg kostrow (keyboards) and oleg
gitarkin (guitar..), from Russia
MESSER FUR FRAU MULLER¹s music
combine beats, film samples, found sounds, scratchy historical
recordings, loungey or cartoon sounds from the 50's, guitar,
and whatever the hell else there is around.
Beautifully extending the entire history of Russian absurdism,
irony, and anecdotal humor, Kostrow and Gitarkin expresse
in electronic sampled music the legend started by such as
Sergej Kuryokhin and mid-80's early Russian avant-jazz post-modernists.
Kostrow's music has been used for theatrical and performance
projects around the world (with the Russian designer Bartenev).
Both Oleg(s) are now well-known names in the Moscow and st-Petersburg
electronic scenes; prolific artists, and extremely enjoyable
music, check out their very distinctive sounds in a concert
near you; it is absolutely new
stuff. It kind of reminds of making a salad.
Oleg Kostrow has been awarded "king of Russian lounge"
by Playboy (russian edition, january 2004).
Messer Für Frau Müller has been awarded "best band 1998" by
Ptjutsch, Moskow's most famous music-culture magazin. Their
latest album has been sold more than 1000 times just in St.
Petersburg.
