Сильфы | en

The basic direction of our creativity is folk-music, but not in the usual sense, and more likely folk-motives with elements of classical music, fate and a jazz. Style and sounding of group is defined in a greater degree by its structure, rather than desire to adhere to any one direction.

In structure of group: a flute, a violin, a violoncello, an acoustic guitar, a bass-guitar, shock and percussion, and, certainly, a vocal. The material which we execute, is author's all songs and tool compositions are written by participants of collective.

In our texts and music there is a place and for light cheerful ideas, and for serious "heroic-epic" subjects, and for fantasy, and certainly for lyrics. In a word, our creativity lays on a joint of "antiquity" and "present", and our idea is connection of subjects of the past epoch with mood of our time.

The name "Sylphs" has appeared not at once. All would like us, that it associated with movement and ease, but at the same time and with force. And "Sylphs" has approached as it is impossible by the way, in fact sylphs are spirits of elements of air!

The first concert of group took place on December, 7th, 2005 in Moscow club " Heather ". This date also became birthday of our collective though the idea to create new group has come to us month earlier.
In general, listen to our music, and it becomes much brighter representation about group " Sylphs ", than is simple words.
