A Minima

Hi everyone, welcome to my SC page ! 

I'm a pianist and keyboardist. I love to write progessive rock music including some jazz elements !

My main influences are Steven Wilson (all his projects), Pink Floyd, The Pineapple thief and a lot of classic prog rock bands.

A big THANK YOU if ever you take the time to listen to my tracks, because they are quite long 😉

I recommend to use headphones as I mainly work on stereo mixes...

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”. 
I often start my new pieces with a vague idea of the genre and mood I want to explore. Then, by playing with one of my synths, I let the sound impose its nature and call for other sounds it wants to play with.  My role as a composer is like that of a sailor acting on his rudder and his sails. I am neither the wind nor the sea and I have no map, but my instinct should allow me to avoid the reefs and I will eventually land somewhere, most likely a strange and unexpected place.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

Music, Sound and Programming are old time passions. I'm posting various things here. Some recorded nearly 30 years ago, classical guitar with Roland D5 multi tracked with two tape decks.

Modular pieces are recorded live without editing ... pure impro and tweaking.

Aleatoric Journeys are generated programmatically with an application I'm working on. Output is a midi file.
The tracks are rendered in LMMS with free plugins.

Meditation tracks are produced with the current version of my application.
Midi file is now much more elaborate.
It's just rendered with timidity. Effects are added in audacity. It's based on a mutable sequence concept I'm working on.
The sequences are periodically mutating at a given frequency and level giving an ever changing sequence. For recent pieces the sequences can be set back to the original periodically and then will evolve again.


Meditation Three is another improvement in the process as all tracks are rendered individually, then mixed in audacity.

When creating this application I always tried to make things sound like they were actually played. The purpose for me is to be able to work at a concept level to capture the ideas before they go away and in a way try to compensate my ADH.

it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I'm a web developer who compose modern classical piano and produce EDM, DnB and trap - and sometimes I like to mix it up. 

I love to make music 🫨

🌺Have fun! Bandcamp!💞Thank you for your purchase!💞

Every time I am sincerely surprised that the music came together again, that it worked. I don’t often write music , to enjoy nature of this wonderful process.
All tracks AI free!
Big thanks to SOUNDCLOUD for the wonderful opportunity to be heard and to my invisible friends, musicians and composers, whom I hear well thanks to SC
As an architect, I am interested in the question - if architecture is frozen music, then music is melted architecture? In this case I'm the freezer unplugged.🤗
The iceberg from the freezer is still dripping, but over time it can leak heavily...
My musical education is modest - 4th grade piano in childhood at the cultural center named Mikhail Kalinin in Kharkov + SC now
