Yuri Aramisov, creator of Molni Man, returns after years to discuss his new album and the end of his band Avtobus.

The episode begins with host Max Malkov introducing Yuri Aramisov, a musician from Moscow originally from the Far East, known for his band Avtobus and new project Molni Man. Yuri confirms the release of his album 'Zastyli' in late 2025. He reflects on Avtobus's past, noting the band ended but its members remain close friends, with half of Molni Man's material derived from Avtobus's unreleased songs from 2011-2013. Yuri describes Molni Man as a studio project with no live performances, named after a fictional superhero alter ego linked to electricity and synthesizers. He cites influences like David Bowie and Gorillaz. Yuri details his use of both hardware and software synthesizers, samplers, and collaborations with musicians such as Kostya Bondarenko, Misha Izhak, Viktor Sankov from Polusa, Andrey Gerasimov, Sergei Kivin from Animal Jazz, and Anton Novikov. The host compares Molni Man's sound to bands like Polusa and Animal Jazz, which Yuri acknowledges at a conceptual level. Yuri discusses the challenges of balancing music with his day job as a school teacher and expresses openness to future performances but no concrete plans. He mentions working with the death metal band Arcanum Sanctum from Komsomolsk-on-Amur, recording keys for their mini-album 'Pax' in January 2026. Yuri shares his admiration for Soviet science fiction authors like Efremov and Strugatsky, and composers like Alexander Zatsepin, whose music inspires his work. The conversation touches on the importance of musical education and diverse influences, from Radiohead to Bach. Yuri hints at future sketches and collaborations, including with drummer Volodya Astashenkov. The episode concludes with Yuri expressing hope to share more music and the host playing a final song.
