The Cinnamon Project is a combination of poetry, music and video. Yuriy Andrukhovych texts from the book “Exotic birds and plants” read by the author have got a sudden musical form thanks to the musicians of the Karbido band. This music is a mixture of perfect moderateness of a traditional radio play and energy of post-rock. The CUBE VJ-band and ArtPole will prepare a video projection specially for the Cinnamon and it will be displayed as a background to the presentation. By the time of the Ukrainian tour there will be a Ukrainian version of the Cinnamon album released including a bonus India addition. More information on the album.

The Cinnamon was created in a traveling sound recording studio: the album was recorded in Urekhta, Drohobych, Warsow and Vroclav; Tsumtor recorded a part of the drums section in the Swiss city Haldenstein and some sound environments were caught in the streets of Jerusalem and Hong Kong. In May 2008 in the frameworks of the international festival of Bruno Shultz in Drohobych there was the first performance of the material prepared for the Cinnamon, ‘cuz it was Shultz the project gained its title from.

The Cinnamon is the second part of the triptych called “Samohon. Cinnamon. Absinthe” and respectively it’s the second project made by same people. Their first joint work – Samohon — was successfully presented in Ukraine (in Kiyv, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk, Uzhgorod and Ternopil) a year and a half ago.
