OCHELIE SOROKI plays
pagan dark folk, based on Russian old traditional songs as well as Norse
mythology.
OCHELIE SOROKI participants
share a common interest in the culture of the ancient peoples, which is an
endless source of inspiration for the music group experiments. The musicians
are revealing deep connections of different cultures through music as a
universal language.
Musicians assign a special role to the atmosphere of
their performances: the mesmerizing voice of Uliana Shulepina intertwined
with the sound of many ethnic instruments, immersing the listener in a journey
through time from our day to ancient ages.
The North. For musicians of OCHELIE SOROKI this
word has its sacred meaning. The North, in their view, it is not so much a
geographical concept, but rather a Spirit of the earth, a storehouse of ancient
knowledge, magical space.
Since 2011, the group began performing numerous
concerts and participating in festivals across Russia including "Ustuu-Huree",
KAMWA, Ages and Epochs, White Noise, Winter Storm, TAMGA, Voinovo
Pole, Bilinny Bereg, Put k sebe, Ivan Kupala, Obereg, Kniazjia
Bratchina,Sugorie, Kniadjestvo Tverskoe, Svoiasy, Theatrical performance for
children based on of Russian traditional fairy tales "The legend about living
water", Moscow in the rhythms of the peoples, "Connecting Times"(Chamber Hall
of Moscow State Philharmonic) and many different.
Within 4 years, the musicians worked on finding and
creating authentic musical instruments and arrangements. Studied traditional
Russian musical heritage, researched the ancient culture of the Baltic
countries and peoples of the Siberian region. During this time they were
collecting songs for their debut album "Northern Kingdom", which was recorded
on Pro live recording? Studio and released in May 2015. The album received
very good reviews and the band got many fans around the world. Currently OCHELIE SOROKI started
to record their second album, which is scheduled for spring 2017.
Most authentic musical instruments that sound in the
performances of the group were made in the workshop of OCHELIE SOROKI by
luthier Pavel B.
He is also the founder and musician of the group. Pavel during the years
organizes training courses on the history and manufacture of ancient folk
musical instruments for everyone.
