Kalutaliksuak is a Russian band featuring 4 members from the Moscow region. The band members are Vladimir Konovkin (keyboards), Alexander Chuvakov (guitar, voice), Alexei Ohontsev (bass) and Sergei Titovetz (drums). The band was formed in 1993 by Konovkin and Chuvakov which recruited various musicians to play with them in gigs and broke up in 1997. Studying in the Moscow Conservatory of Music, Vladimir Konovkin also worked as a session keyboards player while Alexander Chuvakov became a painter and illustrator having graduated from the Russian Academy Of Fine Arts. These two rejoined forces in 2006 and were joined by Sergei Titovetz (Nuance) and Alexei Ohontsev (X-Rays). They have so far five releases on the RAIG label. The self-titled album (2007), Last Day Of Sun (2008), Snow Melts Black (2011), Totem Making (2013) and Death Of The Alpinist (2014). The second is of a psychedelic nature and makes for an eerie and compelling freak-out voyage through the musicians mind. Testifying to the band's versatile abilities it Igor Gorely, founder of RAIG: "Working with these guys, I learnt that their are one of a few rock-bands which can easily change their compositional & stylistic language depending of the dominating mood of the album... It's more typical for composer in the academic (classical music) music but not for rock-performers... Actually, they can be psycho-rock band but they're not... "Last Day of Sun" is more about works by Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Rabinovich, Schnittke (
