Search - Au-Room :: AU-ROOM: Neon Reflections

AU-ROOM is a music band from Russia. However, it is not a music band in the conventional sense. It is more of an assortment of some individuals with sparkling musical talent. The band was established in 2007 - in "a warm July morning", as one of the band members puts it. Even though the collective history of the band is quite short, the individuals who formed the band are well experienced and ferociously talented. That much is evident from the stunningly original music they have created in the few albums till date. Neon Reflections is the latest album that is all set to further increase the popularity of AU-ROOM band.

A Brief Introduction To AU-ROOM

AU-ROOM hit the music world about two years back. So far, the band has brought some extra-ordinary experimental electronic music albums. The team members of the band had been part of the Russian show business industry at various stages. The chief architects behind this out-of-the-box music variety are Mila Maltseva and Vjacheslav Amirkuliev. Maltseva is the composer and lyricist of most of the AU-ROOM numbers, while Amirkuliev is the sound producer of the band, who is responsible for the ambient background music.

It is quite difficult to fit the music of AU-ROOM into a particular genre. It is a truly genre-pioneering kind of music. The band calls its brand of music Filo dance music or, in short, FDM. It is a kind of electronic music that is rhythmically fast enough to inspire dancing and at the same time complexly multi-textured to invade the subconscious mind of the listener.

That the Filo dance music creates different feelings in different people's minds is strikingly evident from the reviews on the internet about the AU-ROOM band. It has been labeled as electro music, lounge music, and light house music. In fact, it is a blend of all these varieties and a bit more.

The music of the band is appreciated by both music connoisseurs and hobbyist music enthusiasts. The former admire the music for its various textures and delicate arrangement of subtly different instrumental music compositions. The latter appreciates the band's music for its melodious tunes and lyrical quality. The die-hard fans of the band proclaim that no other type or genre of music reflects the anguishes and restlessness of the modern man as much as the music of AU-ROOM does.

The album Neon Reflections continues the trend of the creative combination of ambient music, lounge room music, and haunting melodies. The new album, just like the previous albums of the band, is popular and widely available on the internet. In fact, it was through the music websites and online MP3 stations that AU-ROOM became familiar to people outside Russia.

The music of Neon Reflections is neither an accidental creation nor an isolated spark of wayward musical wizardry. Rather, it is the result of a sustained conscious effort of a group of artists who believed in a form of collective oeuvre and in the concept of FDM. In short, AU-ROOM creates a kind of mystical music that sounds like a purer form of cosmic or ambient music touching the sub-conscious mind of the listeners.
