Cosmism by Max Ananyev
The album "Cosmism" is a musical fantasy on the theme of traditional Russian music.
On New Year's Eve I watched a movie - a Soviet fairy tale "Morozko" familiar to me from childhood. This film had a very strong effect on me. It was as if it invited me on a fascinating journey, after which I would finally learn the root of Russian culture. And the path led me through its many manifestations straight to the ideas of cosmism. Along the way, I learned to play the gusli and the mallets - timbres that open the door to a fairy tale.
I think that the root of Russian culture is a space of imagination that goes beyond reality.
This is where the ideas of the cosmist philosophers come from; and the painting that anticipated surrealism; and the first flight into space; and the bold attempt to build socialism; and the absolutely fantastic domes of St. Basil's Cathedral; and much, much more.
Happy Listening!
