KALUTALIKSUAK are an obscure psyche-avant-rock that bear the name of a malicious ice-deity in Esquimaux mythology. The band was launched in 1993 in Moscow by Vladimir Konovkin and Alexander Chuvakov with other musicians varying from gig to gig, and dissolved in 1997 leaving no recordings except of poor quality bootlegs from spot-rehearsals... Konovkin spent the next decade studying the classic tube-organ at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, and working as a session-keyboardist (in 2001 he performed with Rick Wakeman at the concert in Saint-Petersburg). Chuvakov graduated the Russian Academy Of Fine Arts, and earned a living as a professional painter and book illustrator... Their joint musical researches were resumed only in 2006. KALUTALIKSUAK's current line-up features: Vladimir Konovkin (assorted keyboards) and Alexander Chuvakov (guitars, flutes, voice), reinforced by Alexei Ohontsev from X-RAYS (bass) and Sergei Titovetz, a founding member of the soviet-period art-rock legend NUANCE (drums, percussions). http://www.raig.ru/kalutaliksuak.asp
