Joan Silver Pin

Branched out in 2004 from the Moscow Acoustic Architecture Studio, JOAN SILVER PIN (aka J.S.P.) naturally summed up the results of long-time collaboration between the Russia most prominent electronic, rock and jazz artists. The core band-members are:

Alexander SENKO - a headmaster of the ensemble. Producer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, he started his musical career as a guitarist in the beginning of the ‘90s with the free-jazz band THE 12TH DAY, and then joined the blues-rock group of the Russian singing duchess Olesja TROYANSKAYA. In 1998 he graduated the Gnesins Musical Institute with a diploma of sound-producer. Since 2000, he has been in charge of a recording-studio business.

Pavel ZHULIN - a magnificent trumpeter for the internationally acclaimed the IGOR BUTMAN BIG BAND.

Tatyana IPATOVA - an exceptional voice. A lady who stands behind her own project SHANTY VOICES, and, arguably, is one of the best modern Russian enchantress of improvised singing in the field of world-jazz music. She is also known as a theatre and cinema actress. (In 2006, soon after the album came out, Tatyana Ipatova tragically passed away...)

Oleg PANKRATOV - a gifted multi-instrumentalist, guitarist and drummer with unique style of his own. He worked with many local rock, psychedelic and fusion bands.

The interactions between very diverse musicians lead to the creation of so-called genreless music. The ideas come mostly from literature, paintings, movies, etc, and gradually take melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and timbre shapes without any dominance of genre, style or concept over emotional perceptions by the artists involved. JSP easily talk in riddles with academic, electro acoustic, jazz, rock, and ethnic music. They do not create nothing new, but express the common by uncommon means, avoid iterations and affectations. Something closer to post-modern ideology, but in fact it’s just another occurrence of the mature artistic performance.
