The Advanced Urban Music band
We are an instrumental electronic-acoustic band.
Our work is influenced by genres such as nu-jazz, post rock and techno. It reflects the environment in which it is created - the city as an urban zoo.
We use various experimental approaches, modifications, and even create our own instruments as a reflection of the present moment in which we are creating.
Vladimir Oravec – acoustic drums, electronic drums, synthesizers
Martin Kosorin – electric guitar, electric bass guitar, electronic sounds, synthesizers
Adam Kapjor – percussions, drums, synthesizers, electronic sounds,
Sasha Mamaev - electric guitar, electric bass guitar, electronic sounds, synthesizers, saxophone, drum pads
In June of 2022, we released our second record – the EP “Sealed”.
The EP was mixed by well-known Slovak musician and producer – Dalibor Kocian (Stroon).
During the recording of the new EP we also collaborated with several musical guests – multi-instrumentalist Sasha Mamaev (Gonsofus) and the South-American duo Helado Infinito.
On live concerts we work together with a VJ Tibor Dovičin, whose visualisations react in real time to the sound that the band is creating on stage. For each song, we have prepared a short film or moving image that visually supports the music.
To perform the new EP we have invited multi-instrumentalist Sasha Mamaev (Gonsofus) to join the band, thanks to which the live concert performances of the songs acquired a more lively form.
Besides a large number of club shows since the first gig in 2012, we have performed at festivals such as: Beseda u Bigbítu, United Islands of Prague, Whoneedslyrics?!, Sófar Sounds and the Mediawave film festival.
