Mikael Tariverdiev
‘Olga Sergeevna’ Original Television Score
Out October 20th 2017   
On Deluxe Double LP 

“So evocative, so immediate, so transporting even without its visual anchor” Pitchfork

Following the release of the critically acclaimed ‘Film Music’ box set and the ‘Irony Of Fate’ OST, Earth Recordings release Mikael Tariverdiev’s score and astonishing improvisations for ‘Olga Sergeevna’. Produced by the composer’s widow Vera Tariverdieva and musician Stephen Coates from original tapes, this release on deluxe double vinyl is the first outside Russia.

Bringing the composer’s extraordinary canon closer to recognition in the west, the score is taken from a 1975 Soviet TV Film series directed by Aleksandr Proshkin. Based on a story by Edvard Radzinsky, the show featured several film stars with the lead role of Olga played by screen star Tatiana Doronina.

Olga is a marine biologist brought from a small town to Moscow by her mentor. The story unfolds into a tangled web of professional, romantic and emotional relationships with the main theme that a woman can dedicate her life to her career and feel satisfied, even when she is not particularly happy in her personal life. 

In the USSR, and globally, that was as revolutionary a concept in the 1970s as setting a TV drama around the life of a female scientist. As many critics have noted, Tariverdiev’s music, like the theme of the TV series, contradicts the lazy prejudice that any popular culture to escape the Soviet censor could not be groundbreaking or the equal of anything being made in the West.

The score’s extraordinary baroque jazz inflections were created from improvised pieces with Tariverdiev on celeste, cimbalon, harpsichord and piano accompanied by double bassist Z. Shakhaliev and S. Livshin on drums. The songs feature vocals by Josef Kobzon or the composer himself and the orchestrated themes are conducted by Emin Khachaturian and Yurriy Reetovitch.

At the time of the film’s release, Tariverdiev had recently scored the hugely popular ‘Seventeen Moments Of Spring and was about to work on Soviet blockbuster ‘The Irony Of Fate’. The main theme from Olga Sergeevna was submitted for an American music Academy competition which it duly won, Tariverdiev traveled to LA but was not granted permission by the Soviet authorities to accept the offers of work that followed  - probably because of an earlier act of solidarity with his friend the dissident director Mikhail Khalik that saw him banned from the leaving USSR for over ten years.

“Masters, there is three carters, three shepherds, three neat-herds, three swine-herds, that have made themselves all men of hair, they call themselves Snapped Ankles, and they have a dance which the wenches say is a gallimaufry of gambols...” 
William Shakespeare on Snapped Ankles

'Hanging With The Moon' is taken from Snapped Ankles' debut album Come Play The Trees - out on 29 September.

Call mom dad all on the phone
Feeling woozy in my bones
Hit three strikes I'm going home
Call mom dad all on the phone
Bad boys do it all for show

I am gone
Land of the free but I feel like a star
Put the light on in my face
What do you see in a better place, ouhh-yah
Feeling woozy in my bones
Hit three strikes I'm going home
Call mom dad all on the phone
Bad boys do it all for show
Real big heart but an ugly soul
Viens all numb with my dumb rapport
Tripping has me on the floor
Losing sense of all control, all control

Closets, with the monsters
Do not scare me
Cuz I’m empty
Closets, with the monsters
Do not scare me
Cuz I’m empty
And cups all
In my room with
All the things that
Make me fade

When I go to bed I think of all the things I dread, 
And blueblack sits in my head
Close these weary eyes for minutes at a time
Wish I had connected all the lines
Drew my story old
When paper doesn’t burn
When stories remember lores
They told me I wasn’t yours

Blueblack blueblack blueblack blue
Blueblack blueblack blueblack blue-blue
Blueblack blueblack blueblack blue
Blueblack blueblack blueblack blue

The first album of Web Web is very uncut, raw, live and direct. „Oracle“ is the first output of a German Supergroup. Check the musician credits below and you’ll get the score. The initial idea was to record a spiritual- jazz type of album, with all its imperfection as far as intonation, sound, influences of tunes... just like from their big jazz-heroes in the 70ies (e.g. Strata East, Black Jazz).
Web Web’s idea was to record a jazz jam session while to found and proclaim being a fictive band, a formation, which did not exist, while telling people, it would be a secret jam session recording of the Seventies. The prompt problem they were facing: Oh, we never would be able to play concerts, doing interviews, or placing photos on sleeves or post likeness images online. So they decided to reveal their real identities:
Web Web are: 
Roberto Di Gioia (Piano, Synth, Percussion), Tony Lakatos (Tenor- and Sopranosaxophone), Christian von Kaphengst (Upright Bass) and Peter Gall (Drums).

Roberto Di Gioia (Mastermind of Web Web): „The four of us set up very close in a big room, so we could hear and feel each other the best way. The music became more intensive, improvisations became more dynamic and it was impulsive.“

The album „Oracle“ was recorded on one day, only first takes were used!

We want to keep the burning spirit and the loose vibe we had during the recording session. And we play concerts the wild and free way we recorded this album. Web Web will be on tour 2018, but playing a few concerts in 2017. Furthermore, one main decision to blab their real identities was: The second Web Web album is recorded in June (with guests like the famous and unique Gembri-player and multiinstrumentalist and singer Majid Bekkas from Morocco).
Both albums were engineered, recorded and mixed by Jan Krause (Beanfield, Poets Of Rhythm).

Roberto Di Gioia: „Tony was tuning his Soprano too high, and his (overdubbed) tenor way too flat!

My synthesizers were somewhere in between...HA! We exactly had the sound we had in our minds, we had it exactly there were we wanted it: a bit of Sun Ra here, a bit of Horace Tapscott there.
On some tunes Tony’s soprano just sounds like a trumpet, since due to his weird tuning the soprano develops different frequencies in relation to other instruments.“

„Oracle“ is the first live jazz release on Compost. Produced by Roberto Di Gioia and Michael Reinboth.
