Artist description ... Listening to his music, as if with the wave of a magic wand, you have an opportunity to set off on a surprising journey in time to the depth of centuries, feeling thus the dynamics of contemporaneity. Back to the future? It is quite possible. Is he really post modernist? Certainly! His element are the original game of styles, the reconstruction of historical musical models from the Renaissance, Baroque, classical, and romantic eras... But also he is not indifferent to the avant guarde, actively using the newest techniques and technologies. As a result - a unique alloy of every possible element of art from the development of the European civilization is created. Maybe, Alexander Litvinovsky is a composer in the pop-format? But what is high or low, elite or mass? Is the postulation about hierarchy of culture phenomena initially absurd? Who can distinctly answer? Each style zone for Litvinovsky is not the dead out-of-date circuit, but only a matrix for the creation of a unique projection. Each time, he finds new resources, disclosing, in labyrinths of style, unknown sources of inspiration, admiring and being pleased by the magnificence of each detail. Only contrast collage or symbiosis? Not always. Many of his works are sustained in a uniform style from beginning to end, which does not suggest a parody, but rather an admiration!
