Ilya E. Monosov - Poems and sounds floating into silence
Research and improvisation, melody and pure sound, sweetness and momentum, notes and silences. The music of the U.S. singer-songwriter with Russian origins Ilya E. Monosov is a set of contradictions bowing to the romance of lyrics. The emotional involvement in the culture and history of his native land, the passionate curiosity towards all art forms, his way of conceiving and living feelings, especially love, in a complete and instinctive way: all of this reflects on the atmospheres of Monosov’s last album, “Seven Lucky Plays, Or How To Fix Songs For A Broken Heart”. We talked about all this with Ilya, a sometimes introverted, but at the same time extremely kind and friendly person.
