Oblomov are an Italo/Russian duo (currently based in Italy) making original music, a charming mix of electronic and post rock, deeply atmospheric. The music goes along with a very special live performance that sees them play live while sitting on a sofa between radios, an old television broadcasting videos of the eclectic video-artist Flavio Sciolè, and other oddities.
Sound of the soul
The project started with the idea of putting into music the paintings of Adriano Fida, recent winner of the Oscar Art Expo 2015 .
It isn’t rare to find a headphone set at Adriano Fida’s exhibitions, where you can listen to our music standing in front of the painting that inspired the tune.
Oblomov have self-produced ath the Emmenthal Studios in Bologna the first album, “Sound of the soul”, and then embarked on a 15 dates tour started in Berlin last December.
The new EP “Multiexit”, out on September 23 2006, is totally free for download.
Live performances are sui generis. Oblomov perform live on a stage that resembles a living room: they stand on a sofa, cook their dinner while playing and eat it, and they showcase the Grundnick Retrosound, 1956’s television reassambled which always transmits videos and sounds synched with the music – and more absurdities.
