None of these lists, of course, is meant to distract from Ilya's own extensive talent and accomplishments as an improviser, composer, songwriter, and producer. This beautiful set includes five austere songs from his first 'folk' or 'pop' record on Weeks' Language of Stone label, and a final drone piece arranged just for this show.
