The Red Soul lays bare the Russian psyche of today and shows a world full of contradictions. In a country where hardly any family escaped the hunger, fear and violence resulting from Stalin's reign of terror, no one has ever been convicted for the crimes committed under his regime.

Dutch graphic designer Rutger Zuydervelt is known to most people by another name and with another professional association. Known as Machinefabriek, Zuydervelt is well established in the independent music scene for his minimal, ambient electronic music. Prolific and grounded, Zuydervelt has never fully let go of his visual roots and collaborates often with many artists and artistic institutions. He has provided soundtracks for short films, documentaries and installations and designs and produce his own album art work. Looking for musical thrills and not bothered by his own aesthetic contradictions, Zuydervelt's draws from his deep creative well and continues to make music in uncertain terrain.
