Announce Two Part Project Suite For Antarctica Oceans Due Out July 22, 2022 and August 5, 2022
LA-based MTRSS is an audio-visual voyage, a collaborative journey, exploring what happens when artists and digital alchemists get together to create order from chaos and chaos from order. MTRSS – is a global conglomeration of like-minded creatives, who are sharing the same goals and vision. It’s an artists collective intent on creating harmony in modern music and art.
The project was founded by Ilya Lagutenko, the legendary front-man of the multicultural and multi-genre band Mumiy Troll. Ilya is also globally well known for conservation activities on various environmental matters, like wildlife, ocean life, protecting Amur tigers and leopards, Antarctica and waters of The Southern Ocean.
After numerous global collaborations with Jesse Siebenberg, Alle Farben, Öucius, Ariel Fitz-Patrick, Graham Candy, Jasmine Albuquerque, Eliot Lee Hazel, Fede Montero, MaKenzie Thomas, DZA, Chores, Boys Age, Crazy Astronaut and CoH, the group is now welcoming Suite For Antarctica Oceans. The release is a large supportive act in the form of two beautiful instrumental singles designed to highlight the problem of designating Marine Protected Areas around Antarctica. Also, to protect vital Antarctic ecosystems and deliver the largest act of ocean protection in history by encouraging listeners to sign the petition here. This release is their way of raising awareness and protecting vital Antarctic ecosystems.
The inspiration for MTRSS happened one evening in a suburban Tokyo vinyl bar, when a small group of visiting musicians sat down for a long chat with the bar’s owner. Rummaging through a spectacular collection of mainstream and incredibly obscure music from all over the world, the conversation turned to the idea of writing and recording analog music, relying on the nuance of humanity and expression, pulling in artists from mixed media to extend this exploration across motion and sound. If that sounds complicated, it’s not rocket science. It’s all about human chemistry. The bar’s owner was called Mr. Totori-san, and he inspired the name MTRSS.
“A supportive act with the purest of intentions, the two instrumental singles highlight the problem of designating Marine Protected Areas around Antarctica—emphasised through the two tracks calming rhythm and hypnotising soundscapes. This one is sure to send you into a state of tranquil bliss—leaving a more socially conscious world in its wake”, MTRSS.
