about

“The ultimate adventure, when all the barriers and ogres have been overcome.” – Joseph Campbell

The Russian Linesman continues his 2020 journey with the 3rd instalment of his intriguing new six part series of EPs, focused on the art of storytelling. As one of the electronic scene’s true mavericks, this “modern day composer” continues his unique exploration of psychological theory in the creation of his enthralling musical collages with ‘Monomyth III – The Special World’.

Each song within the Russian Linesman’s ‘Monomyth’ EP series is named after the relevant part of the Hero’s Journey (referenced from Joseph Campbell’s fascinating book ‘A Hero with a Thousand Faces’ which analyses centuries of human storytelling) and is an artistic abstraction of the concept of the Monomyth – a formula we are all familiar with in modern day films and books. Most storytellers in this series remain anonymous, retaining an abstract element to the process and allowing the listener’s curiosity to be uniquely aroused and drawn into each different story as it unfolds.

“The Special World is the habitat for the strength people find when they have been at their lowest ebb. Deep in the dark woods staring their worst self in the eyes. This EP covers four stories of longing, unfulfilled desires and navigating the abyss, reparation of life long friendships, while saying goodbye to the past – some deeply personal stories that humbled me and I am very grateful I was trusted to share them. This is a more downbeat EP preparing you all for the frantic home stretch that is to follow in the next episode.” – Russian Linesman
