Kalim & Marim is an EP about music, no big story behind it except passion for sound textures and audio travelling... Recorded in 2019 and 2020, it includes many instruments, from many loops of Kalimba & Marimba (That gave the name to the EP), to guitars, bass guitars, percussions of all types, clarinet by Walass, random samples and synthesizers. Da Iguana:
 «Glassy and woody textures are emphasized, recalling waters and forests, my favorite environments. For the funny story Leu Grouve was recorded on Walass’s studio, in a houseboat on La Garonne river in Bordeaux, France, really close to the water surface, hearing droplets and seagulls while the sun was setting. A magical moment we spent jamming with anything we could use in the small studio!! It’s also one of my first works going up in BPM throughout the track (from 85-86 to 100BPM). Ambiantik is obviously an ambient track, cosy and organically textured, mixing ancient instruments from different parts of the world (ambient + antique). Moa Tren will take you on an intercontinental aerial train, with mouth blown percussions and cloudy atmospheres. At last Kalim & Marim is a swingy tune, super innocent, with a happy mood I am not so used too.» The release incl two remixes from our beloved friends who added their recognizable sound — Ohxalá made Leu Grouve even more groove and dance, and MAUGLI give a deep slowly instrumental version of the Moa Tren.

When different events occur in the life of each of us, music always comes to the rescue. In this album, as well as at concerts, all the music came "in a stream". This is not a computer recording, not a rehearsed game. Everything that you will hear here came to the composer and pianist Andrey Akishkin right at the moment of recording these melodies. Close your eyes Immerse yourself in yourself Hear the music of your soul
