Weird, abstract sounds/music are welcome, because to me reality doesn't compromise on being weird and abstract itself.

These are my explorations in sound painting… plus a song or two that accidentally resemble actual music. This is less like a record store and more like stumbling into an artist’s studio: things in progress, things half-finished, things I’m still trying to understand myself.

I’m a guitarist, improviser, and composer based in the Washington, DC area — a Berklee grad from way back when I still thought knowing modes and chord scales would fix everything. I now split my time between two worlds: textural, experimental solo work and the more traditional jazz language I explore with my trios.

In the solo pieces, I chase self-organizing sound — music that tries to form itself without asking my permission: fluid, dynamic, occasionally confused, but alive. With the trio, the focus shifts toward groove, swing, and melody, though improvisation remains the one thing I haven’t managed to ruin.

Both sides come from the same place: curiosity, listening, and trusting the music more than I trust my own plans.

If any of this resonates — or if you just want to talk shop, collaborate, or say hi — feel free to reach out. 🙏

Minsk Improvisers Orchestra (МІО) is an open community, where we create music spontaneously, here and now, basing on free or conducted improvisation.  The project was launched in April 2018 by the accordionist Alexey Vorsoba (Port Mone Trio, Warsoba, rozdIlovI) and supported by art platform KORPUS in Minsk, Belarus. We make music without any notes and styles, sometimes using text or graphic notation. The orchestra is always open for collaboration with new musicians, conductors, composers, actors, dancers, artists, authors, and everyone, who is interested in improvised music and modern experimental arts. To join, please drop us a line on our social media pages or, for those from Belarus, fill in the following form: https://goo.gl/forms/kLLXDMMdi1uqCZBy2
