Kotlovan

Named after Andrei Platonov’s 1930 absurdist novel The Foundation Pit, Kotlovan is the experimental project of multi-instrumentalist Farkhad Saidmuratov (New Age Healers, Tinfoil and Tape). Born in Central Asia (Almaty, Kazakhstan), he is now based in the Seattle area (Everett, WA). Originally conceived as an art rock band, Kotlovan has since evolved into a solo experimental venture, with each release exploring a different musical style, while carrying its own distinctive sonic flavor.
