Reality has an unusual setup. The Same Ensemble was formed in 2013 and was active up until late 2023. Sasha and Cyril (also known as Kirill Shirokov) always strived to play music that is ever-transparent, so that not only sound, but contact is heard; not only structure, but interacting personalities of both the participants. Each project of the ensemble was an integral whole made of independent parts — from new and experimental music to reduced, mysterious transcriptions of popular song. Transferring their programmes from place to place, from time to time, The Same Ensemble revised reality in the intimate sound of voice and instruments, producing stories of sounds’ interrelation with subtle emotional structures.
