This is a matrix in the original sense of "source". It is a "small-world" network, meaning that the nodes (people) inside it are — mirroring human society — within a few steps of everybody else inside it. The matrix was built to allow regional Brazilian musicians to be discoverable steps away from everybody else in the arts world, and by logical necessity this m.o. requires not only that the great Brazilians be matrixed, but so far as possible, all working artists in our time. Ergo:
THIS MATRIX, THOUGH BRAZIL-BORN, IS UNIVERSAL
This Oleg Fateev matrix node is steps away from the entire planet by the well-known small-world ("6 degrees") phenomenon dictating that in human society you yourself are within several degrees of Oleg Fateev.

Bio:
Oleg Fateev was born on the 5th of July1967 in Bendery (also called Tighina), a town in Moldavia on the banks of the beautiful Dnestr river.
"Before I started my studies at the Russian Gnesin Academy of Music in Moscow, I did two years of service in the Russian army. This was mandatory and I chose to do it before my studies.
Unfortunately I was going to be stationed in Afghanistan. But the day before leaving, a conducting teacher, who I met by coincidence, told me that some colonel was looking for an accordionist for his military ensemble in Moscow. Without this chance encounter my life would have been very different."
At the age of 29 Oleg moved to the Netherlands and started playing on the streets, where his talent was soon recognized by performing artists from all kinds of musical styles. His versatility manifested itself in the diverse projects he has worked on in recent years. He performed together with the dance company of Krisztina de Chatel, Theater Artemis and the theatre company Oostpool.
Furthermore Oleg wrote music for the Wajdi Mouawad trilogy by the RO Theatre. Beside many solo concerts, he worked with Herman van Veen, Robert Long, Leoni Jansen, Jeroen Willems, Nynke Laverman, Hadewych Minis, John Engels, Oene van Geel, Wolfert Brederode, Wouter Vossen, Jeroen van Vliet and Claron McFadden.
Oleg has worked as a conductor, composer and arranger for different theatre companies and has cooperated with theatre makers such as Johan Simons (Zuidelijk Toneel/ Hollandia), Alize Zandwijk and Gerardjan Rijnders (RoTheater), Floor Huygens and Bert Luppes (Theater Artemis). In 2018 Oleg did a theatre tour with journalist and filmmaker Jelle Brandt Corstius. In the same year he took part in the tour ‘Chansons van Schoonheid en Troost’ of Britta Maria and Maurits Fondse as their special guest.
Oleg has taken part in many international projects with several ensembles such as Loyko Gipsy Band (Russia), Ethel String Quartet (US), Shonaleigh Cumberg (UK) and The Nordanians (NL).
Furthermore he's worked with artists such as Chico Cesar, Badi Assad, Ceumar and Carlinhos Antunes (Brazil). Oleg performs as a duo with the Brazilian percussionist Simone Sou and as a trio together with Oene van Geel and Wolfert Brederode. Before these ensembles he led the Oleg Fateev Trio with Konstantin Iliev and Dion Nijland and he played with the Tiltan Quartet. Fateev gave concerts and workshops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Norway, Spain, Scotland, England, Brazil, South Africa, China, Sweden, Jordan, Turkey, Taiwan and Portugal.

THE MATRIX WAS BUILT HERE, inspired in (the kabbalah-inspired fiction of) Borges' El Aleph, that in the pillar in Cairo's Mosque of Amr, where the universe in its entirety throughout all time is perceivable as an infinite hum from deep within the stone... The Brazilian "aleph" doesn't hum...it sings!
Sprawled across broad equatorial latitudes
Stoked and steamed and sensual in the widest sense of the word
Limned in prosody and cadenced song
brəˈzɪl / from "brasa" / Latin for "ember"
w/ David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio
Given the immense untapped power of the small-world phenomenon, from Brazilians the matrix was expanded to include nodes per jazz artists, given jazz's common roots with Brazilian music (nodes based in publicly available information; some artists we informed — Bob Mintzer, Kamasi Washington, David "Fuse" Fiuczynski, Vijay Iyer, Greg Osby — and got thumbs up, others we'll get to), and moved on from there. Artists/academics/"creative people" are welcome to create their own nodes and curate (connect to other artist nodes, so that others may follow). BTW, our logo is a cortador de cana, cane cutter. It was designed by Walter Mariano, professor of design at the Federal University of Bahia to reflect the origins of the music the shop specializes in.
