In August 1983, German clarinetist and journalist Hans Kumpf met with Leningrad musicians and artists for a free jazz and punk session at the Club 81: Vladimir Boluchevsky (saxophone), Igor Butman (saxophone), Arkady Dragomeshenko (poetry), Vyacheslav Gayvoronsky (trumpet), Boris Grebenshikov (guitar and "small" instruments), Alexander Kondrashkin (percussion), Sergey Kuryokhin (saxophone), Sergey Letov (saxophone, bass clarinet), Timur Novikov (utiugon), Ivan Sotnikov (utiugon), and Vladimir Volkov (bass). Most musicians and artists present would join Kuryokhin's revolutionary ‘Pop Mekhanika’ concerts, which had a huge impact on Leningrad's cultural scene from the very beginning, in 1984.
During the session, Ivan Sotnikov and Timur Novikov presented their now famous ‘utiugon’.
