OST Red Queen (2015)
Alexei Aigui - violin and Ad Libitum Orchestra

Red Queen

ALEXEI AIGUI is one of the most striking and versatile Russian composers. The success of his soundtrack to Valery Todorovsky’s Country of the Deaf was so mind blowing that it turned the Russian music life in the late 1990s upside down. Thanks to him, soundtracks masterfully entered the concert halls and clubs, and instrumental music peaked the interest of the general public.

With ease, Aigui combines the piercing sensuality with strict form; the touching beauty of sound with experiments, minimalism and rock with contemporary music. He has written dozens of instrumental scores and more than 50 soundtracks for films by Raoul Peck, Hirokazu Koreeda, Pascal Bonitzer, Andrey Proshkin among others. His track record will add an HBO project at the end of 2020. His compositions are performed by leading Russain musicians like pianists Alexei Lyubimov and Alexei Goribol, violinist Tatiana Gridenko, Opus Posth ensemble, St.Petersburg Symphony Orchestra among others.

As a violinist, he initiated international projects with various musicians including the famous French composer and creator of sound machines, Pierre Bastien, french jazz-singer Mina Agossi, German pianist Dietmar Bonnen, and Japanese violinist Keisuke Ota, and actively performs with his ensemble “4’33’’”. He plays on well-respected world stages and festivals in Germany, France, Japan, Belgium and Russia.
