"A promising saxophonist of a brand new formation who's not overburdened with problems we have... he plays much and easily."Vladislav Makarov
"Very young, but with an extraordinarily well-developed voice, I doubt that many will have heard from him, apart from on his local Russian scene, but I happened to stumble across some of his work on the internet, and I think that he's a real discovery."David Grundy, eartrip magazine (England)
Ilia is a young (born 1987) saxophonist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He works in the direction of free improvisation, free-jazz, noise and electroacoustic music. Ilia practices an experimental approach of sound extraction on different types of saxophones (alto, tenor and baritone) and on flute (inc. fluteophone).
In his compositions and improvisations you can find out influences of John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Mats Gustafsson, Evan Parker and other masters of improvised music.
The artist records and distributes his music by himself. He often plays at The Gallery of Experimental Sound – 21 (GES-21), Saint-Petersburg.
