Right, when I have a question based on something I hear on Mixing It on BBC 3 I rarely get an answer out of any of you crowd.
Anyone know anything about Gabriel Prokofiev? Has a string quartet recorded by the Elysian Quartet (?) on nonclassical records (?x2).
Sounded a littler interesting to my ears. There was also a bit of a remix of the same by Max de Wardener (?x3). I feel so ignorant yet so intrigued...

his name is gabriel olegavich... he's the main producer behind lady sovereign, he's the main writer and producer of Spektrum... he runs the label Non Stop, and produces/collaborates with/is artists including Boxsaga, Caspa Codina, Man Like Me, Ed Laliq.

I've been curious to hear his classical stuff, the stuff you're talking about, but had no idea he was going by his grandfather's name for it. makes good $en$e i guess.

oh, and max de wardener is a somewhat interesting ambient-y lullaby-y cicky-y guy who has released records on herbert's label. he often uses a lot of very lush organ, and it makes sense that he would remix a contemporary classical piece.

Thank you kindly indeed. I'm really surprised by this Lady Sovereign connection. He's done a Xtina remix as well as a few other 12"s, wasn't expecting that at all.
I found Max de Wardener on the label site (accidental records). Might seek out his album. Lush organ electronica sounds sort of up my alley.

Seems he only has the one string quartet written.

The latest Mixing It has a movement from the quartet maybe 15 minutes in if you want a listen.
Mixing It 25th August
