Interesting Facts
Andrey Surotdinov acts as a composer outside the Aquarium group. At the same time, his solo works are completely not in the style of the collective, but no less interesting. It should be noted that our hero is not only a violinist. He is fluent in piano, harpsichord, and also plays the viola. His solo work began very interestingly. Once Aleksey Slyusarchuk invited the musician to watch a play called “Alexikon”. After watching, he suggested that our hero play the violin live to create a peculiar atmosphere. The musician tested his strength. He decided on this, because he really liked the apparent "optionality" of what was happening. That is, he was not obliged to play, and therefore freely and actively worked. So began a serious fruitful cooperation. Our hero created a phonogram for the play “I Will Call myself Gantenbein”. Then in Moscow, the production of the Küchelgarten Brothers was released. The next performance, the music for which our hero wrote, is called “Tattoo”. It was staged at the Triad Theater.
