“Koko” is the result of a thorough research carried out by Anton Kolosov (electric bass) and Konstantin Sukhan (trumpet).

One short set of two pieces, “Koko” and “Soko”, is constructed from wide range of materials, including definite noise, post-academic improvisation, faint breaths or sniffs by Sukhan and an almost ritual drone by Kolosov.

“Koko” is firmly grounded on a post-jazz tension: musicians play simultaneously, but not together, and after a burst of emotions we hear silence, and chaotic roaming in one musician's thoughts is followed by a heated argument by two. This music is tangible and real, it's repulsive and beautiful.

“Koko” means “here” in Japanese, while “Soko” means “there”. Both pieces recorded at the Ground Khodynka Gallery are indeed the whole set with a short break for an applause. Two-hundred pages' novel about a bird (according the cover) with a gloomy storyline, long prelude here and an open end there.

Live at Ground Khodynka Gallery, Moscow.
