A unique collaboration of influential musicians from robust scene.

This time, the Azimut trio worked on the new release »Nun« in the co-authorship with Oleksa O))), founder of the cult bands Soom and Prashtur, and the restless Yuriy Dubrovsky, who does not stop experimenting in Octopus Kraft, nug, Asthme and Zlele.

Geographically, the project stitches Ukraine together, stretching the thread from Kharkiv, past Drohobych, tying a knot in Stanislav.

Musically it transports the listener to a strange mythical World, radiating the ancient truths.

“Myths are collective waking dreams, and waking dreams are individual myths.

Our release is not quite about songs, but more like parts of one drama, paintings, triptychs, a kind of oratorio. It’s about trying to come to terms with the eternal human dilemma, a search for the meaning of existence, an attempt to grasp the supersensible, a dialogue with God.

This is the story of the Ancestor-Storyteller, this is the voice of the ancient Fish God, which echoes from the corridors of time in the dead Phoenician language that gave humanity the alphabet. This is the word of the Son of Man, from awe and reverence to despair, self-mutilation, sacrifice in the name of the unknown. It is the search for Gnosis, both in the outer world, above, and in the inner world, below.” – Azimut
