Nick Zavriev debuted with his project Ambidextous exactly ten years ago, in the spring of 1998 the first and quickly became one of the main actors «first wave of Russian IDM». Published in 2001-m album «Errorism» and dvenadtsatidyuymovy vinyl «Cross Split EP» received good press in Europe and the USA (disc praised the German De-Bug, English Musik, American Igloo Mag, Belgian Freestyle Grooves), and tracks Ambidextrous «light up» on the set of labels from the Moscow Art-Tek and the British Toytronic and is located in the U.S. state of Florida Merck Records. Since then, Nick has done a long way to go, replete sharp bends. After several IDM-plates - passion dance music, vylivsheesya of two albums in the style of electro-disco, regular concerts and participated in several projects. Now Nick is the main ideologue of ethnic music triphop trio Jermook, plays the keyboards in the group «Light under water» and «Dream Mechanics», as well as a co-founder and resident DJ's promotional group Rave Diggers, propulsive dance music era «First rave ». After several years of creative research and development «breadth», album «Rocket Mind» (which Nick wrote almost two years) has become a sort of return to our roots. On this disc we hear again the classic IDM - heavy drums, ragged and sentimental melodies. But this time Ambidextrous even further into the electronic tradition, adopt a lot of sound-seventies - the endless sintezatornye arpeggio in the aesthetics of early Tangerine Dream and space in the spirit of solo soundtrack to the Soviet film fantasy. Encouraging development to writing plate for a trip to Nick cosmodrome «Baikonur» - this theme is reflected in the design covers the Russian edition. And changes in the technological chain - the first time, Nick decided not limited to software synths and resorted to help set the old «zhelezok» - in the recording of the album have been used «vintage» synthesizers Roland Juno 106, Korg Prophecy, Korg Poly 800 and even the Soviet analog monster «Elektronika EM -25 ».

By Nick is preparing a special presentation of action - stage performance of his music this time will not be confined to the habitual «person with a laptop and keys». In order to perform the live material that was recorded entirely alone, «in the bedroom», Nick collects a small orchestra, which will include not only live rhythm section and guitar, but violin, cello and even «ternteyblist», master vinyl scratch in real time. In the «band» can be found and familiar characters. During the installation of a shock substantiates «drummer half of Moscow's indie groups» Sergey Ledovskih (colleague Nick on Dream Mechanics, also play in the composition of Silence Kit and «Spring Street Karl Juhana»).
