The band’s life started in 1996, when the first humming, clashing and boiling sounds appeared in the computer of one professional experimental music profanator” called Fedor Svoloch. The first records were marked by a truly inhumane attitude to sound and harmony, biting mockery at all styles and trends. Kitsch pop and noise ambient, analog experiments and microwave ­ nothing escaped his taunts. From the beginning of 1999 a few old acquaintances of the “mysterious experimenter” became permanent band members, changing the project’s name to Theodor Bastard.

The band’s live gigs five years ago were noise performances conveying the ideas of alienation, dehumanization of conscience, mechanization of the environment.
Coloured lamps dazzled listeners and drove them into the state of trance. Band members appeared on the stage in anti-gas masks and ingenious gadgets that looked like helmets of “universal soldiers”. Mournful tunes flowed over sounds of breathing, occasionally consumed by guitar noise.


In the beginning of 2001 the first live record, “Live in Heaven” was made in the Gallery of Experimental Sound with Yana Veva’s vocals, which was quite fed up with playing guitar and clay whistle-toy. Then the band started its cooperation with American label “Invisible Records”, taking part in the tribute to Pigface “From Russia with love”. By the beginning of 2002 the style of THEODOR BASTARD started to crystallize gradually, previously balancing on the edge of acid gospel/world music/trip-hop.
