Pop-Mechanics (Popular Mechanics) (Russian: «Поп-механика», «Популярная механика», romanized: Pop-mekhanika, Populyarnaya mekhanika) was a musical collective founded by Sergey Kuryokhin in 1984.

The line-up of Pop-Mechanics often changed; musicians from rock groups such as Aquarium, Kino, Strannye Igry, AVIA, and Auktyon took part in its performances.

The collective's performances were partly improvised and mixed genres, including elements of jazz, rock, avant-garde theater, and ancient mystery plays.

[2][3] The orchestra's director and composer, free jazz pianist Sergei Kuryokhin, collected around 30 people on stage.

The entire crew was divided into sections—jazz (brass instruments), rock (electric guitars), folk (some kind of elongated Caucasus horns), classical (a string quartet) and 'industrial' (sheets of metal, saws, etc.).
