about

The Soviet film “I Was a Satellite of the Sun”, released after the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, made such a huge impression on Alexander Yella Gin that it even motivated him to create an album of the same name. For the author, space is the key theme; he explains it through the events happening during normal everyday human existence that knit the never-ending scarf of the universe. “‘I moisten the roots of all that has grown’ - this quote by Walt Whitman set the course for my entire album: everything that happens to us in the course of our lifetimes is not accidental, the matrix of the universe is composed of the grains of sand that are our experiences,” says Alexander.

His latest creation is woven together from flashes of memories of his own life; as a matter of fact, the track “Yubileinaya” [Milestone] is dedicated to the street from his childhood. The author ropes all the tracks together into a narrative that follows the example of Pink Floyd and their album “The Wall” - a musical fresco about a person’s life and the continuous movement of his life.

Alexander recorded the album in Krasnoyarsk, inspired by experimental electronics and classics of the IDM genre of the 90s. Reverberating tracks with a noise saturation as thick as Siberian oil have turned into his signature style. He conducts experiments, mixing sound effects from different years, and invariably draws inspiration from space - for example, his third album is loosely based on the book “The Bull's Hour” by science fiction writer Ivan Efremov.

This album was the fourth in Alexander’s creative career and the first to be released with the “Mestnost” label, his previous releases were done in collaboration with Monumental records and Raw Russian. Alexander can be considered a cosmist enraptured by experimental electronics, perhaps the only person who has ever tried to jam the universe through the sound and the simplicity of human experiences.
