Artist
ASTMA is Olga Nosova (drummer and vocalist mostly known for her work
with Moscow noise-core band Motherfathers) and Russian
industrial/electronic scene pioneer Alexei Borisov. The collaborative
project was formed in April 2009 in Moscow. Paying homage to both
experimental tradition of Alexei’s countless musical reincarnations and
Olga’s instrumental noise experience, the duo embrace elements of weird
free-form spoken word psychedelia, live electronics, noise, heavy acid,
electroacoustic, d’n'b and far too many different types of acoustic
torture to even bother mentioning them. The music is highly improvised,
so naturally Borisov / Nosova collaborate with various musicians,
video-artists and poets from different countries both live and in
studio: Anton Nikkila (Finland), Dave Phillips (Switzerland), Matthieu
Werchowski (France), Dora Bleu (Canada), Thomas Buckner (USA), Tom
Smith (USA), Jandek (USA), Ilya Belorukov (Russia), Sergei Letov
(Russia), Nikita Tsymbal (Russia) to name just a few. Borisov/Nosova
duo is touring extensively and in 2009-2010 performed in Russia,
Turkey, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia,
Netherlands, France, Israel, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belorussia etc.
