Exit Project

[7][8] Before that in 2008, EXIT project presented their third album as a multimedia playcast – a synthesis of music, visual art and poetry: thus the music is perceived straight from the screen/speakers as a part of a holistic mix of multimedia art comprising sound + image + word.

[11] In spring 2010 the band started working on a new live program – Color Splashes – which is a mix of contemporary Nu Jazz and Electronic music.

The on-stage line-up consists of Oleg Smirnov (Programming, Bass, Guitars), Vladimir 'BIG' Glushko (drums), Maria Logofet (violin), Anastasia Boguslavskaya (alto sax), Oleg Mariakhin (baritone sax, trumpet), Jon Kukaryamba (percussion, vocals, effects) and band's live soundman – Nikita Filippov.

Soon Michael parted, but in a year the band grew in size, when Oleg Smirnov (Guitars, producer), Vladimir "Big" Glushko (Drums), Michael "Kotovsky" Finagin (double bass), Anton Kochurkin (Flute) joined the project.

Some of its tracks were used in an audio-story Karandash i samodelkin v Egipte, by Moscow-based art project called Audio-Theater.

[2] After the success of Hack The World the band started an active touring career in various venues as well as Russian and Ukrainian jazz, alternative and rock festivals, including InProg (2006), Space of Joy (2006), Pustye Holmi (2006), etc.

[17] Meanwhile, in 2007 Ro-mix and producer Oleg Smirnov with some other sidemen recorded EXIT project's third studio album Mystery Journey of Girl with her Death (2007).

Being primarily a studio work, the sound of the album was a more distortion oriented and included more traditional music elements and song-line compositions.

[2][3] In 2008 the new – parallel – line-up was formed consisting of Oleg Smirnov, "Ro-mix" and world music and jazz virtuoso Kirill Parenchuk playing soprano sax and Indian percussion instrument tabla.

[19] Later in 2012 the band's producer, bandleader and bassist Oleg Smirnov released a studio multimedia project in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Kirill Parnchuk.

The multi-media album "Son Cherished Most"[20] is a unity of music, visual arts and text citations as well as a 10-minute documentary film[21] revealing the concept and the process of creation.
