There are plenty of influences that enabled me to build my artistic universe : Bowie, Sylvian, Eno, Pink floyd, talking heads, Beatles, Pixies, Radiohead, Depeche mode, Arab strap, Tarwater, Deus...
Intimist atmospheres, fantastic voyages, poetic spaces, electronic climates...
All along his albums oftenly quite melancholic, Rain builds a sensitive and captivating universe. From what he calls himself his "musical laboratory", this polymusician faithful to his early musical thrills -- David Bowie, Lou reed, Nick Cave, Pinkfloyd, The cure, David Sylvian -- composes an original cocktail flirting with the experimentaion fields...
Wild songwriting enthusiast, he keeps on exploring the intimist electro-pop style guided by his mood and the topics he treats...
He focus on pushing the pop format into more obscure territory while keeping it acessible.
Finally, we often find brillant savors out of traditional instruments (guitar, bass, synth...) and electronic sounds (such as in Tarwater, Air or Craig Armstrong).
Some perfect musical showcases resonant with his vast and deep voice that cleverly exudes a sea of words...
DISCOGRAPHIE
Irwin Zlipovitch a Russian author emigrated was very late to deliver his next manuscript. With the loss of inspiration he was unable to write a single line. He decided to drug himself out to enter the interzone with the hope to find there some interesting material to achieve his novel. Unfortunately the trip happened to be not exactly what he was expecting.
