Brinstaar is a project of a Moscow-based artist, musician and designer Mikhail Myasoedov.

Started at 2006 Brinstaar prefer spontaneous and improvisational approach when working on tracks or playing live performance. Involving a whole galaxy of instruments like guitars, modular synthesizers, shamanic whistles, vargans, harps and toys, Brinstaar creates vivid soundscapes ranging from chaotic noise and warm ambient melodies to structured rhymes and heavy guitar feedbacks. Each performance is surprise even for Brinstaar himself, because usually everything is made on the fly with no preparation. Moreover, Brinstaar is known as a co-founder of young russian label Kotä, focused on discovering new borders of avant-garde music.

Digital designer by day, sound explorer by night.
I make music from rough memories, warm textures and unresolved loops.
Ambient, glitch, lo-fi and raw experiments.

Real electronic music beyond the genre borders.

Never play the same program twice.

Constructing every set in real time.

Whetstone - a joint effort from guitarists Amy Jeffery and Jamie Hopman, bassist Steve Thomson, drummer John Gaughran and vocalist Fred Armstrong.

The band collectively falls into the genre of Hard Rock, playing covered music by the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
They work hard every week in the studio writing new original music, and aim to gig as often as possible, supporting local bands and slowly raising their name through the local ranks.
Each member has been influenced musically by a different band and genre, be it Amy's love for Joan Jett, Steves loyalty to Iron Maiden or Fred's interest in Ronnie James Dio,
they come together to produce music collectively and collaboratively.
