In July 2019 Anastasia Papisova gave an interview to the “Rapid Response Team”, a website about modern culture and music. She spoke about the new album of the Meldis band “The Binding” and modern show business in general.
Meldis presents its new album «The Binding» on the 26th of January at the CC DOM! The concert starts at 7.30 pm.
The binding… Binding of a book full of fascinating stories, legends and fairy tales, tales of love, hard choices and risky adventures. Facts and fables. For each song in the new album is a story in itself, a story that becomes real… but only while it lasts. Magical Celtic ornaments are intertwining on the cover of the famous Book of Kells; people are dancing at Breton fest-noz, their shadows intertwining and covering the ground; intertwined fingers and strings of Celtic harp… Meldis invites you to a new journey — an intense, fascinating journey that carries you away like a bright mesmerizing dance! Reach Scottish heathland, travel across the sea to Breton lighthouses, climb mountain ranges of the proud Basque Country, enter an Italian fair on a baking-hot day, stand still at the icy sound of an echo amidst Russian forests, hear ancient dwarf prophecy about the return of the king under the mountain…
The following artists took part in the recording of the album:
Sergey Klevenskiy (whistles and bagpipe)
Kirill Rossolimo (percussion)
Yuriy Ruslanov (vocals)
Yang Kurzanov (double bass)
and others
The concert will take place in a warm atmosphere of CC DOM, located 4 minutes away from Novokuznetskaya metro station.

April 5th, 7 pm. Meldis presents its new album Facets of the Worlds in the Central House of Journalists!
The album consists of various musical layers that interact with each other. Elements of Celtic and medieval tunes, neo-folk, original songs, jazz and blues are interlaced in the album. The music reminds a gust of fresh wind. It’s hard to give it a single definition: it dances on the edge between the worlds that arelinked with an ancient musical instrument – the harp.
The album contains amazing magical songs dedicated to eternal topics: life that goes on, bursting feelings, ancient myths, departure and joy of return. The album was recorded with such musical instruments, as Celtic harp, the key musical instrument of Celtic myths, acoustic guitar, various percussions, violin, flutes and hurdy-gurdy. This is both exiting and very, very beautiful!
The following guest artists contributed to the recording: Andrey Surotdinov (Aquarium) , Sergei Kalugin, Alexey Burkov, Yurii Ruslanov, Andrey Bayramov (Los Gaiteros de Moscu, Blind Harper, Pfeyffer и т.д.) , Victor Livanov (Melomel, Blind Harper и т.д.) , Mihail Rusinov (Dolum Dreame, Pfeyffer, Avis Dei) , Alexey Pytskii.
