Liquid Crystal Faith is a unique project out of ‘em all. Two musicians, Kovalyov Nikita and Elyshev Artyom, coming from two different music poles, mixed live sound, electronic experiments, broken rhythms and unrestrained drive into a killer psychedelic cocktail! Together they created project that plays only its own music, only live and nothing but live. Hardware equipment is what gives an incomparable opportunity to work with samples, drums, synthesizer parts, effects and sequencers in real time. That is why each performance of Liquid Crystal Faith is unique – improvising, they create their music anew every time. Within a 5 years that the project exists, LCF has successfully performed in all around Russia cities, including Moscow, St.Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Astana, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Barnaul, Novokuznetsk etc.

Most GEARMAN’s works are created with analog devices, and it is a cause of the special dynamics. GEARMAN’s performances are hardware-playing, you can watch the real-time birth of the music.
