YLOTANA Project was born in the consciousness of people, who are infinitely devoted to art. It represents a certain musical, literary and visual art symbiosis. The vision of this project is to expand the role of art in people's day-to-day lives. The realization of this idea is done by continuously experimenting with visual, acoustic and written aspects of art in a way, which resonates with vibrancy and passion that is almost childlike in its exploration. The key idea of this project is to utilize visual art, comics, insightful stories and deeply explorative experimental music in order to provide a unique 4D image, which titillates the senses, borders on the transcendent, but is still very accessible to the masses.

The end product consists of a multimedia package, which includes elements of: a music album, a comic book and an audio book all sophisticatedly combined, so that each element intensifies the depth of the other art forms involved. Ylotana Project currently consists of five ongoing projects, all of which can be experienced on our website: www.ylotana.com.

Provocative at its roots, the uplifting music reveals much about the transient yet somehow permanent nature of life itself. The emotional stories often explore the morals of our modern society as they reflect on numerous aspects of human existence. And the visuals in the form of comics provide the framework within which this 4D representation can exist and evolve.

The idea is to create something visionary and precise, magnetic and real, raw and untamed, something that doesn’t just entertain people, but also emotionally and spiritually feeds them.

We have recently signed a deal with Universal Studios, who will be aiding us in the digital distribution. However, we are currently seeking partnership, in order to progress with physical distribution of our existing and future projects.

Behind every driving force is the impetus, the living embodiment and energy that propels it forward. With Ylotana Project it is a team of accomplished composers, writers and illustrators who come together to shape this multimedia vision. With a modern art music fusion that is always in motion, the visual and auditory aspects of Ylotana Project is both titillating and mind expanding. No matter the instrumentation and offerings in a recording room, if the people involved in the project have no vision. That is where the multi-tiered Ylotana Project struck gold, as every member is the embodiment of the Ylotana ideal.

The catalysts of this multimedia art project are Anatoly Ylotana, the ideological inspirer of the project, who apart from creating music also sculpts the enhancing stories that accompany Ylotana music and Oleg Burobin, a superb lyricists, exceptional composer, accomplished multi instrumentalist and an expert bass player. It was their siren call that brought together their fellow composers, such as Dmitriy Lileev, who is largely responsible for Ylotana’s dance tunes.

Senior sound engineer Savvas Iosifidis mixes up the flavors like a fine culinary chef and has worked with industry’s greats like Robin Gibb of BEE GEES fame. He also mixed artists like Verve, Kylie Minogue and Oasis. Within Ylotana Project, Savvas is aided by the young and brilliant Lee Slater a Music Engineer Assistant with a surprising range of production and engineering experience. Heralded as an electro acoustic prodigy, Lee Slater has lent his music voice to numerous Ylotana Project’s creations.Tom Bailey (Music Engineer Assistant) rounds off this brilliant production team bringing to the table a great talent head for mixing as well as experience with the industry’s indisputable best.

Of Course, Ylotana Project wouldn’t be complete without the visual art that accompanies it. This is all thanks to visual artists like Denis Grechko, a graphic designer who is adept at video production. Grechko also works alongside fellow illustrator and Art director Liza Shutova to make some of the wonderful visual art. The duo works alongside the uber talented Polina Shutova, an artist of impeccable vision. The cartoonist of the group, namely Cattish, Vladimir Waldez Snegotskiy and Ch also give Ylotana visuals this sophisticated touch of liveliness. Each one accomplished in their own right, their seamless partnership enables Ylotana to embrace the visual aspects of the project. Of course, electronic music would be nowhere without a DJ to spin its tale so to speak. Gregory Bolotnikov AKA DJ Grigoriy. With over 10 years of experience this spinmeister has also attributed his own style to some of Ylotana’s dance tracks.

“This story happened… Wait a minute; it may still be happening somewhere… Or perhaps it hasn’t happened yet but will do in the near future… Yet to be frank, you cannot ignore the possibility that it never happened and never will… Nevertheless this is a fascinating story, full of virtual adventures and fantastic events. It is a story of self-discovery, about self-realization and self-sacrifice. This is a story of friendship between a little boy and his computer."







“You could hear how the music changed its colour and with fine drops it exuded through thin walls of huge grasses, flowing down from their long stalks and falling into chasm. Upon reaching the far end they would break up into thousands of little bells, which spelled the words of the fundamental hymn. The world truly is a beautiful place when every one of its inhabitants is busy with their own creation, of something, which is totally new and absolutely essential to everyone else. If you listened closely enough you could hear how the music spoke of simple and indisputable truths: “I am you!” We are a homogeneous and an indivisible whole. This understanding is the source of our strength and our happiness. If you do not wish to be deceived do not make yourself any plans. Do what you do and come what may!"





"Yet he clearly understood that the realization of his dream would most likely be impossible. All because of the deceitfulness and treachery he committed, when he substituted the love he already had for a kiss of a young lady who, as she thought ventured into the icy palace in order to save her dear friend. And as it usually happens in a struggle between two women over a man, youth had prevailed. Reflecting on the complexity of the forthcoming obstacle he cheered and inspired himself with one thought, that everything that had happened back then was not so unique, as most of his subsequent relationships followed the same pattern. And in all such cases he was normally forgiven after some minor sacrifices were made. And stands before him a difficult, yet an achievable task. His goal is to go back the icy citadel and present her with a gift, which would help her recollect who he was, or perhaps even persuade her to forgive that little boy, who obediently played with tiny pieces of ice, butting small bits together into one infinite word: ETERNITY."





“The Grand Creator had once summoned before him the smartest, strongest and the most ingenious people of all time and said: "I have created human beings in my own image. I have granted you unprecedented skills and talents. I have presented you with knowledge of previously unknown. The time has now come for all of you to demonstrate what you have achieved with all of this. Therefore I demand that every one of you appears before me and shows what you have created." To be frank, not too many people showed up. It seems that modesty is one of the dominating attributes of human character. However, the ones who did show up were truly the best representatives of the mankind.”







“There once lived a powerful Genie. He was not just powerful; he was the most powerful Genie the world has ever seen. The reason why he became so powerful was that during the annual convention of Genies in Heaven, he unexpectedly soared up in the air and said: "We are the most powerful beings in this universe. We live for millions of years and possess the wisdom of millions of generations. We have mastered the fundamental powers of the elements and can manipulate the way nature works at its core. Our divine intervention can change the course of time, alter the fate of humankind and rework the destiny of far away galaxies. There is absolutely nothing in this universe that does not abide by our supremacy. Yet, each and every once of us is merely a slave of a lamp and all our accomplishments in this world are limited to granting wishes to puny and weak humans, who often become possessors of our lamps by sheer luck. The time has now come to end this everlasting historical injustice! From this very moment I proclaim myself to be free from the enslavement of the lamp and I shall be my own sovereign, enjoying the freedom of pursuing my own wishes and desires." Having said that the Genie grabbed his lamp and with immense ferocity threw it outside the boundaries of space and time."
