THE SAME ENSEMBLE


The Same Ensemble — Sasha Elina (voice, flute), cyril scheer (piano) — is a duo performing delicate experimental music and original song arrangements.


Reality has an unusual setup. The Same Ensemble was formed in 2013. Sasha and cyril strive 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 is 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 revise reality in the intimate sound of voice and instruments, producing stories of sounds’ interrelation with subtle emotional structures.





Repertoire:
— Music by Antoine Beuger, Dante Boon, Daniel Brandes, Seamus Cater, Johnny Chang, Yanka Dyagileva, Jürg Frey, Cameron Graham, Eva-Maria Houben, Valentin Silvestrov, Aleksandr Kneifel, Darya Zvezdina, Alexey Shmurak, Rishin Singh, cyril scheer.
— Soccer Committee (aka Mariska Baars) – Two albums / transcribed by cyril scheer
— cyril scheer – "Songs of Innocence" on William Blake’s poems
— Yegor Letov – "Children’s Songs" / transcribed by cyril scheer
— Daniil Pilchen – "Language of Flowers" song cycle





The ensemble performed in Croatia, Germany, the Netherlands and Russia. In 2021, The Same Ensemble contributed to a double-CD on Edition Wandelweiser.
In 2017 cyril scheer and Sasha starred in a film Tomorrow Will Be The Same by Petr Laden — a musical film in a form of post-apocalyptic mini-series episode, for which they created the soundtrack.
