One man – a whole orchestra.

Andrey Kovalev performs in a genre of his own – JAZZ – eccentric – instrument – MAN. His performance is a show of sounds in which the audience becomes part of the music: his voice imitates drums, bass guitar and trombone, and several parts sound at once.

The pieces are built a cappella, on syllabic singing and live instruments with a distinctive timbre. A musical provocateur in the best sense of the word: no one in the hall stays a mere listener.

  • ● Khomus jaw harp – a shamanic overtone sound
  • ● Indian flute
  • ● Scat and syllabic singing
  • ● Vocal imitation of drums, bass and trombone
