In 2006 Rain completed his full hardware setup, and started to play music under the live project alias of Mental Distortion. In 2009 Aleksandr united with some ethno musicians to form an ethno-electronic project Kamennoe More. In 2012 Rain left Russia and went to live in Asia, where he resides now.
