Little Tragedies biography
The Russian group LITTLE TRAGEDIES (former Pardox) was founded by the composer Gennady Ilyin and guitarplayer Igor Mihel in Kursk, Russia in 1988. The direction of the music was 'Progressive/Art rock'. In 1990 Gennady Ilyin leaves to study in St. Petersburg, he acts in a conservatory by Rimskiy - Korsakov on branch of a composition. The group continues to write down albums during a summer and winter vacation. After ending a conservatory, Gennady Ilyin leaves to live in Germany, but he continues to write music for group and he in parallel writes music for symphonic and chamber orchestras. Arrive to Russia he two times per one year, winter and summer can only, and the group continues to exist, and writes down till two albums per one year. In 1999 Igor Mihel (guitar) is arranged on work in studio of a sound recording " Art Technology "and with sound-engineer Eugeniy Shukin decide to engage in record of music Gennady Ilyin, then the group changes the name Paradox to LITTLE TRAGEDIES. 

The first album "Passions on Titanic" was recorded in the studio "Art Technology" within just two days. This music is a sonic impression of guitarplayer Igor and composer Gennady from the well-known movie "Titanic". In his arrangements Gennady uses a huge collection of vintage analog synths collected in "Art Technology" studio. The "old school" of analog recording (without digital tools!), combined with the sounds of original vintage synths and Hammond organ recreates that unique and famous sound of great groups of 70'th. Thus Hammond and Minimoog becomes the "sonic signature" of the group. Among the members of the group this album is the most beloved recording. On "The Sun Of Spirit" Gennady gains inspiration from the poetry of the great Russian poet Nikolay Gumilev and writes music on his poems (cycle "Porcelain Pavilion"). The album "Porcelain Pavilion" is a continuation of "The Sun Of Spirits". It is speculated that nobody else currently plays such a music in Russia.
