Kedr Livanskiy is Russian for Lebanese Cedar (Cedars of God). Her music is strongly inspired by Autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but with the lyrics and mood of Mazzy Star. The sinister synths in �Sgoraet�(Burning Down) are inspired by the otherworldliness of Russian winters. Russia in winter is a terrible thing, but it also has a strange romantic presence to it. The drum and bass coda emulates the feeling of impending death and transition to another state when winter is over one�s shoulder.
