Homo Liber

about

Homo Liber consists of Yuri Yukachev & Vladimir Tolkachev, both living in Novosibirsk A very strange LP indeed. Little is known about it or the musicians that created it, beyond the notes on the sleeve. In the early 1980s a British record company received a cassette tape of two musicians improvising. Both musicians claimed that, having lived in Siberia for all their lives, they had little access to music or musical instruments. Deciding to have a crack at it themselves, they made their own instruments and recorded two sides (there are no individual tracks, just side A and side B) worth of sound that most would struggle to recognize as conventional 'music' in any sense. The instruments they used sound like a detuned piano, a broken guitar, some kind of woodwind instrumental, and various percussion. While there are patches of real beauty and recognizable rhythmic structure over the course of the 45 instrumental minutes, most of it sounds like what music would sound like if music didn't exist. Having said that, it's also quite a lot of fun. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
