Bielorussian ensemble The ARCHESTRA emerged in 2012 following the breakup of the avant-prog band RATIONAL DIET. Violinist Kirill KRYSTIA (violin) formed the band along with former RATIONAL DIET members Nokolay SEMITKO (drums) and KRYSTIA's wife Nadia KRYSTIA (vocals, violin, cello). The group also includes Evgenij LUKJANCHIK (sax, clarinet) and Ivan LICHKO (piano). This new ensemble combines chamber prog, rock-in-opposition, modern jazz, experimental music, and improvisational elements. The result is a busy, energetic sound that brings to mind the freshness of UNIVERS ZERO and HENRY COW's approach in the 1970s, with a modern avant-rock energy that gives it a character of its own. The band's debut effort, "Arches", was released in 2013.
