Temnoyamsk

Age of the band: 9 years old.

Techno-pop trio. But it’s not just any band. It’s a whole city. A city that doesn’t exist. About which you can hear only through the songs of the group. Members of the group: Konstantin Trashchenkov, Evgeny Zentsov and Mikhail Kovalev.

Temnoyamsk is both a musical band and a small art community from Svetlogorsk in the Kaliningrad region. The name «Temnoyamsk» is opposite to the word Svetlogorsk. As the dark side of the city. Temnoyamsk is the underground of Svetlogorsk. The first performance took place in the «Reporter» space in 2012.

At their performances, the musicians use modern synthesizers, analog Soviet synthesizers, and various effects, diluting the sound with electroacoustic instruments. Not limited to music, they work with other art forms such as performance art, photography, and video.

«At concerts, this city begins to exist, we create it out of the sound of words and movements, and the audience, if there is one, becomes its resident for this brief period of our performance. It is our place to create.»
