Sunny Walk EP ....OUT NOW...
Design by den schlker, www.denschliker.com
Single Sunny Walk is a solo work of Maxim Rumyantsev, the founder and a participant of the Monophonic project, who has been fruitfully experimenting with arrangement, mixing analog sound with acoustic jazz grooves. This work is a warm optimistic downtempo with elements of hip-hop, soul, jazz of the 60-70s and magnificent sunny tunes.

The Monophonic project was founded in 2006. The founder of the project
is Maxim Rumyantsev, who has been experimenting with analog sound
since 2004. Irina Bondar joined Monophonic with her outstanding
Nordic-style vocals in the beginning of 2006. A couple of months later
Andrew Shamanov, who has been involved in music production of
different styles for a long time, added dubby bass lines to the
Monophonic sound. Now the trio defines the style of their music as
"lounge .. experimental .. abstract hip-hip with a good portion of
psychedelia". Analog pads and leads, samples from soul, jazz and funk
records of sixties, Nordic vocal and dubby bass lines are the essence
of Monophonic sound.
