Concert series IMPROTEST: Aleksandr Aleksandrov

Aleksandr Aleksandrov is a Riga-based music producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist. His work crosses a broad palette of genres, bringing together his classical guitar background and at times almost lyrical melodism with elements of rock music, noise and contrasting dissonants. In his solo performances he establishes the concept of Idiotic Improvisation as a way out of 'idiomatic' and 'non-idiomatic' dichotomy. Idiotic Improvisation allows switching between the two, as well as adding non-improvised elements, real-time song-writing and basically doing whatever the idiotic improviser feels like doing.
Aleksandr mostly uses electric guitar, processed trumpet and percussions. He collaborated with musicians like Denis Sorokin, Jelena Glazova, eleOnora, russian-norvegian trio 'Ilia, Konstantin and me', poets Semjons Hanins, Galina Rymbu and others.
He has opnened for Xiu Xiu. See more: https://youtu.be/Zjw8N-tnEgE
