THE SAME ENSEMBLE


The Same Ensemble — Sasha Elina (voice, flute), cyril scheer (piano) — performs original compositions and arrangements that explore experimental chamber pop in the form of a new music duo.


Reality has an unusual setup.
The Same Ensemble was formed in 2013. They are a duo exploring the nature of being two situated in front of many. Their work together is founded on both written composition and immediate decision-making. They 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, Valentin Silvestrov, Aleksandr Kneifel, Jürg Frey, Seamus Cater, Johnny Chang, Darya Zvezdina, Alexey Shmurak, Rishin Singh, Yanka Dyagileva, Cameron Graham, Josef Hauer, 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.
