Inturist is an alter ego of Evgeny Gorbunov, Russian musician temporary living in Belgrade, Serbia, owner of the label “Incompetence Records” and author/co-author of the band ГШ/Glintshake, also bass player and co-author of Kate NV’s album “Room for the Moon” (RVNG Intl.)
Inturist finds inspiration in everyday life, which in the project’s discourse is built on absurdity, randomness and unpredictability. He also explores the post- Soviet trauma and transfers memories of it to the contemporary context and now to the context of other countries. The approach of Inturist is based on improvisation. The project’s lineup is constantly changing, from a solo act or duet to a four-piece band.
In addition to the musical work, Inturist is a theatrical project — one of his albums is a radio play called Neznakomka, a full fledged absurdist piece where voices and narrative are intertwined with abstract musical ornament.
After leaving Russia Inturist delved deeper into abstract forms, ambient and molten jazz, as evidenced by the artist’s latest recordings (like Off-Season) and live performances.
