Artistic collaboration has always been a key issue for rock music. Armed with the ability to create music in home studios and then to exchange tracks via internet, rock musicians began to experiment with new, more complex forms of artistic interaction. Ilya Lipkin (of THE RE-STONED) and brothers Ark and Ivan Fedotov (both of VESPERO) first met on stage in Moscow in 2013 during the Vespero’s tour: Ilya made guest appearance at one of the band’s gig. Ark, Ivan and Ilya were attracted to something in the others, and started to exchange their musical views and ideas through the web. In December 2014, Ilya was invited to Astrakhan, the hometown of Ark and Ivan, to try new tunes by the three on stage. That memorable concert was a total public success, and a new band was born – instrumental psychedelic-space-rock trio MAAT LANDER featuring Ilya Lipkin (guitars), Ark Fedotov (bass, keys, synths), and Ivan Fedotov (drums, percussions). The debut album "The Birth Of Maat's Galaxy" was released in 2015. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Maat+Lander">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
