One of Eastern Europe’s most exciting musical exports, Karpov not Kasparov began making music
based on the rules and strategies of chess. It might
seem complicated but the output is always a very danceable tune. Sometimes the music becomes a live soundtrack for avant-garde silent films or even for
chess games played by the audience.During the past five years, the duo played their
very energetic live set on club or cultural
stages all over Europe, and also for festivals like Nuits Sonores, Fusion Festival, Electric Castle,Europalia, Eurosonic, Tallin Music Week, Ment,
Revolution, Sinsal etc
Debut LP "Soundtrack for a Game of Chess" has been nominated 'album of the month' by Vice Magazine, declared‘one of the most valuable releases of the year’ by Radio Romania Cultural and Radio Europa Libera and aired online on New York radio WFMU.
The Vocal Edits was declared Best Romanian Electronic Release of 2016 by Scena9.ro and stamped "probably the best Romanian album of its genre in the last 30 years" by the journalists of musical blog Muzici&Faze.
