*BG & Aquarium IV*
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
As "promised" more of Boris Grebenshchikov and
his band Aquarium in Dortmund.
This time i fooled around in photoshop and turned the
photo into B&W as the (spot)light on BG was somehow
very nice...the color version can be seen in the WS-section.
This kind of "photosession" always reminds me how nice
the big canon dslr is and how much the small snapshot-
cams s**k...sorry about the slight noise and white
spots, seems to be hotpixeling.
********************
more history:
As of 1997, however, the Russian nationalism seems to
have run its course for BG. His 1997 album "Lilith" is
still mostly Russian in lyrical theme, but is recorded,
by way of a chance meeting, with his idol Dylan's one
time backup band, The Band. In 1998 BG, who was by then
settling into a cult classic status in Russia, played
a one-man-and-his-guitar show of 1970s and 1980s songs
to a small audience of fans in a San Francisco bar, and
decided to return to reggae-n-rock-n-roll roots.
1999's "Psi" features just that, as interpreted through
a post-modernistic lens with ample, highly inventive
use of keyboard-triggered samplers. 2002's "Sister
Chaos" (Sestra Haos), 2003's "Fisherman's songs" (Pesni
rybaka), and 2005's "ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM" feature the same,
painted by sparse touches of Armenian (Jivan Gasparyan
on "Northern Wind"), Indian (the entire of
"Fisherman's songs") and African (some of "ZOOM ZOOM
ZOOM"). Despite all of these having been issued under
the Aquarium brand, it is recognized that by now
Aquarium is "the people who play with Grebenshchikov".
In a very appealing touch of overcompensation, as
technology and funds had begun to permit, sometime in
the 90s BG had become incredibly quality-conscious with
his records. As the state of sound engineering in
Russia left (still does) a lot to be desired, he had
begun tracking in London's studios. "Navigator", a
predominantly acoustic album with a highly refined,
"the-band-is-in-the-room" intimate soft of a mix saw BG
sell his car and part of his guitar collection to
cover tracking costs. The quality of his recent
recordings may give the better of Western
singer-songwriters a run for their money.

The colour version is okay too, but I like the B&W because the instruments pop out more here, giving more a the concert/music feeling
Great details (remarkable in fact -- shooting concerts is really tough because we have no control over the light or our PoV!)
