Kostarev Group

The band started in 1997 as "Alexander Kostarev's QUADRAPHONIC SOUND THEATRE" with Ekaterina Morozova on keyboards, Roman Bobrovsky on drums and Alexander Kostarev on guitar (the name then was changed to KosMoBob, and later to Kostarev Group). First album "Vegetarian" was recorded in 2000-2001, but finally mixed only in 2006 (see song "Heawy Water"), not published yet. In 2002 the band (with a flute, a violin and a bassoon added) presented a new program - "Concerto Grosso" - in the genre named "time fusion", a music without temporal borders, as if one far observer can simultaneously listen to music of last 4 centuries (see our videos and song "Menuetto"). In 2003 a live performance in Moscow at InProg-2003 Progressive Rock Fest has been captured and released on an independent label "Starless Records"( http://cosmusic.narod.ru/liveatinprog.htm ). Band participated in all InProg festivals from the 2-nd in 2003 to 2006. In 2006 the compilation "Kostarev Works 1978-2006" ( http://cosmusic.narod.ru/works2006.htm ), combining studio and live materials was collected and released (http://www.raig.ru/kostarev.asp). In December 2006 the song "Who's flying over me" appears at "Theme of Appreciation" - A Worldwide Tribute to Eddie Jobson compilation CD (http://repple.se/toa/)
