Artist's Note

Finally the Fusion of Classical and Techno Music is complete! The fusion is not about using classical instruments in dance tracks: this is not nearly enough. The fusion is about merging of ideas: classical compositions seamlessly flow into the original tracks, classical scores morphed with the original music. If you like Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) you will appreciate TechnoClassica as in many ways it does what TSO does but focuses on techno rather than rock and takes musical ideas much much further infusing original music and unrestricted interpretation. I am eternally indebted to Judge Jules, who had helped me shape "I'm Attracted to You" (that he also played on his Saturday night BBC Radio 1 show) and "Glimpses of Hope 2" (which is a bonus track, and a sister of "Broken China").

"TechoClassica" is supported by three 12" vinyl releases, with "All You Need" got to #5 on Record Pool Charts in Chicago up to #19 on the West Coast.

Reviews

On choice cuts such as "UltraMax vs. Bach: Overdose" and "Beethoven vs. Bach," the results are sweeping, dramatic and infectious [...] The shimmering production values throughout "TechnoClassica" are impressive, considering that it's a self-produced record from an independent artist. Chalk that up to practice. This is Fomitchev's fifth disc of material since first experimenting with these ideas on his 2001 release, "Resurrection." But it's his ambition to put together a show that's unique -- Fomitchev is determined to produce a live performance with a symphony orchestra.

One of the coolest things about this CD and this group in general is the combination of classical music with techno beats. Classical musicians love classical music, but they also know many of the selections have been played for over a hundred years. Classical musicians, such as myself, enjoy hearing fresh versions which still hold fast to the complex music principles of the original.
With some many new ideas and creativity within the world of electronic music, it is amazing to see what artists can do with ordinary studio programs. Enter Max Fomitchev, the leader behind Ultra Max. To classify Ultra Max is somewhat hard to determine. While it does fit under electronica/dance music. The album TechnoClassica features all the elements you would hear at any dance club. Infectious dance beats and hypnotic trance.
