From www.oblomov.it:
"Sick from cold and boring afternoons in St. Petersburg spent watching television, too many perhaps, the Russians Oblomov, Ilja Ilic and trusted Zachar, decided to devote himself to music, stealing from the road and from the network sounds and noises, hints and narrations, mixing nothing to the superfluous. They use old equipment such as radios, televisions and record players, game consoles, camp stoves, all ready to infiltrate the sounds and become music themselves.
FotoSlide2Grown up in a remote province, among the habits andthe kind and gentle customes of his homeland, after spending twenty years from a relatives’ embrace to another, friends and acquaintances, it was fair to imagine that the future use of Ilja Ilic should be a kind of family occupation. He thought that attending the workplace was not a habit at all mandatory, which was necessary to follow every day, and the mud, the heat, or just a bad moon were sufficient and legitimate excuses for not going to the office. How bad he felt when he saw that it took at least an earthquake because a clerk in good health did not go to the office, and in St. Petersburg, by sheer coincidence, no earthquake ever getrs by. All this had caused him a feeling of fear and great discomfort.
“But when you can live? When? “, he repeated to Zachar.
For some years now Oblomov roam around Europe, after a hen had sung, back in the beloved Oblomovka, with the verse of the cock, and a raven had croaked on the roof. One year here, six months there, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, the French Riviera, at the whim of Ilja Ilic.
They are currently in Italy because, according to the TV, it is a country where you can just walk around, with no worries or troubles.
BackProva3From a collaboration with the Italian painter Adriano Fida, Oblomov get interested in the theme of “universal myths”. This gives life to a projects in which all forms of arts, and indolence, are welcome. Their first album, currently being under slow and lazy processing, will be released somewhere in the next months and will be distributed, as well as in Russia and in Europe, in Japan and South Africa."
