Instrumenti is one of Europe’s most exciting and promising new music projects based in Riga, Latvia. Instrumenti was created by two academically educated professional musicians – Shipsi (keyboards/vocals) and Reynsi (drums/keyboards/vocals). Their sound is a mix of indie-pop and experimental electro, while their vocal versatility range from beatbox to operatic counter tenor.
The Instrumenti flight took off in 2009 with their chart topping debut single Life Jacket Under Your Seat. Instrumenti have performed in various venues in the Baltic States, Europe and Russia, participating in a number of festivals and showcases. In December 2010 Instrumenti performed two shows in Riga with total attendance of more than 5000 people, throwing an epic performance for the unexpecting audience. The sold out shows featured a spectacular light show, pyrotechnics, video projections, a three piece panda headed backup band, bag pipe players and a surprise appearance by flying guitarists. On August 30 Instrumenti released their debut album TRU that was recorded at the Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavik, Iceland and TRU Music Studio in Riga.
