Roman Stolyar & Ilia Belorukov - Live in Vilnius
Improvising music is probably the best example of kind of art where both individuality and collectivity can be expressed in one single piece. In this album, however, one can find how differently musicians act regarding of circumstances they play – solo and in ensembles - and how spontaneous collaboration can be productive when improvisers from different places of the world gather to express their creativity in music.
No doubt that for two Russian musicians - saxophonist Ilia Belorukov and pianist Roman Stolyar - there was nothing new in playing duo together – before concert in Vilnius they already have had opportunity to play (and even record) together in trio Dots & Lines. Besides, each of them is quite experienced improviser, whose manner of playing music has been formed under many different influences – from classical music to rock, from noise to ethnic music. Also, there was definitely nothing new for two outstanding Lithuanian musicians – drummer Arkady Gotesman and trombonist Skirmantas Sasnauskas – in a situation when they meet “strangers’ right on stage and play with them – they did that dozens of times before. But in the world of improvising music everything is new when one starts improvise – with no plans, no scores, no agreement with his own self or with other participants of improvising ensemble. Every piece played by such kind of ensemble will never be repeated in its exact shape – and only recording can remind us how that was. Well, here is live recording of fifty-minute performance of absolutely spontaneous music – a result of sudden collaboration of four musicians from Russia and Lithuania which happened in Vilnius at one warm December night. Enjoy.

S.A.D.O. - La Differanza
Reissue free download Special Edition
"La Differanza" was released in 2000 as the second SADO's record.
This is the 10th anniversary edition, specially remixed for free download.
An early work of SADO but still very representative of the band. Based on Jacques Derrida's "Difference" notion. Jacques Derrida begins the essay "Différance" (perhaps the most systematic articulation of the non-concept that, according to Derrida, he "has been able to utilize" in previous works) by talking about the letter a and trying to explain (though not justify; instead perform an "insistent intensification of its play") the neologism that he developed. In the first few paragraphs of the essay, he talks about writing and how the neologism ("neographism" he calls it) is "a lapse in the discipline and law" of that system, a sort of distruption in writing and, if I may add, in language and the order of signs in general.
Sado's "LA DIFFERANZA" follows this scheme, nothing more, nothing less.
