Jozik on Flickr

I've created a Flickr account for Jozik today. I've decided to start taking photographs at all the shows we organize and thought that Flickr would be a good place to share those photographs with the artists who participate as well as others who are interested.

I'm not so good at concert photography yet, but i hope now that i photograph all our shows, i'll improve.

Novoe Tsarstvo

This happened a month ago, but for some reason i decided to write about it only now.

In the beginning of February me and Mitya participated in a live show of an improvisation collective led by Ivan of Full of Nothing. The collective is called Novoe Tsarstvo, there's no permanent line up, and this time we got to join it. And it happened to be the collective's first live performance.

It was a great experience for me, because i've never improvised on stage with people i haven't played with before. We also had a recording session with almost the same people (the saxophone player was different). I really enjoyed both of the sessions. Especially playing together with a saxophone was interesting. Even though the technique is completely different from a violin, it felt so easy to follow what they play, much easier than trying to follow guitars or synths.
