Neon Lights

We Will Never Feel the Same

Hello, my friends. Right now I'm in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. As you know, last night Russia officially declared war on Ukraine and started full-scale invasion of our territory, our home.

I'm releasing a track that was supposed to be included in the forthcoming LP and attaching a link for donations to Ukrainian Army. Even small donate could hold the Russian aggression against my country.

DONATE

Right Now (Donate Against Russian Agression)

Track 20

Nisantashi Primary School EP – listen/buy at nisantashi.bandcamp.com

Nisantashi Primary School are Vlad, Lucy and Mykhaylo from Kiev. This electronic-pop trio embraces weird sounds and holds omnivorous but clearly discerning appetites for mixing disco, funk and dub grooves. Their debut EP is a mix of snappy and moody synth sounds, vintage-tinged bass lines and gritty rhythms.

The selection of tracks is a showcase of moods and influences: from the feverish and psychedelic "Mr. Fingers" with Fumaça Preta's Alex Figueira on drums, to the nocturnal dancefloor gem “Hills”. Hints of dance records from 80’s NYC, synth-based disco and krautrock come through, but an eastern european immediacy and faux-débutant approach brings its own flavor to the table.

While dance music from Kiev might seem surprising, what do we really know about this city's energy? From the place where so many things are happening these days, maybe it’s time to see something else unfold.

Past Yesterday (Goldenliustra mix)

A simple setting of a beautiful poem sung wondrously by the great counter-tenor William Purefoy

Vocal Library demos

Pulchra Es

My own favourites. Mostly things that just happen as if on their own. Waiting for me to write them....
I have written all of the above for Documentaries. But I don't write to picture..I write for picture. A difference I enjoy.

The Story of India With Michael Wood OST

Cello Solo (Howard Davidson & the RPO)

This is a cue for a documentary series on the history of the English.
The vocal was sung by the counter-tenor William Purefoy.
And in the background is the sound of a 747 taking off from Heathrow
