Hollow Frames is a collaborative music project of Chicago and now Berlin-based composer and producer Fyodor Sakhnovski. Fyodor is a co-founder of an electronic rock group »radiant devices« which has performed alongside acts like Psychic TV, Xiu Xiu, Saul Williams, Pere Ubu, and Man or Astro-Man?. He is also a guitarist in an alternative art-punk band ANIMAL FEARS As Hollow Frames, Fyodor has collaborated with artists like industrial darkwave musician Bestial Mouths, alternative hip hop group Air Credits, and ambient goth singer and composer Rasplyn, among many others. His previous releases include a cinematic electro-industrial concept album "THE MANAGEMENT OF FOREST AFFAIRS,” based on the novel “The Snail on the Slope” by Soviet-era Russian authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The album is a sci-fi musical expedition into the depths of a mysterious Forest governed and investigated by an ominous Administration. It looks at the destructive side of human relationship with nature and addresses pressing themes of environmental degradation and collapse as a result of careless and irresponsible policies. More recently, Fyodor has collaborated with Chicago singer and songwriter David Safran to re-imagine the classic gospel tune, "Ain’t No Grave," as a murder ballad about police brutality. Hollow Frames' current and ongoing project is an experiment in an ever-expanding and "additive" approach to creating a music album, a so-called "evolving album," titled "The Nearing."
