The project „Simpler than simply" unites Russian folklore, the improvisational freedom and the high professionalism of participants. Sergey Starostin is a milestone in the history of Russian folk - he revived and placed it in the context of modern music styles and avant-garde tendencies, including world music. Each project he participates in is interesting and unexpected, especially when it's a project which explores traditional works (instrumental and lyrical) - from shepherd's calls to epic wailings of ancient Russian folk - in an entirely new light Studying at the Moscow Conservatory, Starostin got deeply interested by Russian folklore and, since then, for already more than 25 years, he is going on ethno-folkloric expeditions through Russia, collecting traditional instruments and reviving ancient songs – in his collection there are now more than three thousand songs. He divides his time between presenting seminars, radio and TV programs on Russian folk music and making music. His creative biography includes an extensive discography and numerous concerts in Europe, USA, Africa and Japan - with the world-known “Moscow Art Trio", with solo projects, with Bulgarian women's choir, with "Volkov Trio" and with Farlanders group. Sergei is considered by musical critics as one of the best jazz-clarinet players of the world. In 2003 Radio BBC nominated him in the category of the Best ethno-musician. "Each project with his participation is interesting and unexpected. In the project „Simpler than simply" his vocal, combined naturally with the traditional wind instruments and ethnic percussion, creates an atmosphere of immeasurable charm, depth and force".
