This one comes off my first solo record called "Songs From Another World" made entirely with (layered) violin and a voice. I drew some inspiration from the stories about sirens from greek mythology.

Lyrics:

Take that boat and go into deep water
Push yourself into the abyss a little further
Soon the sun will be falling down
Lose your senses to fulfill your promise
There’s no time to waste on being honest
Fish will cry looking at your eyes
Leave this boat and throw yourself into deep water
Find the treasure violating life’s new order
Now’s the time to transcend the night

Deep Water

This is the first complete song i ever written. After working for almost 10 years as a session musician (violinist) i just got tired of playing someone else's music and started crafting my own ideas into songs. This one i really liked when it first popped up in my head so naturally i included it on my first solo record that i released just recently called "Songs From Another Word" which is made entirely with only violin and voice.

The Lyrics:

Watch the winter go
Beyond the sunrise
Giving birth to motion
Feel the spirits glow
Under the moonlight
Searching for the ocean
Hear the angels fall
With helpless crying
Causing this commotion
The signs are telling us to hide
To run from darkness and the light
To keep our presence out of sight
Not knowing what is wrong or right
See the night unfold
Into the unknown
Waking up emotion
Let your spirit flow
Allow the empress
To take you to the ocean
Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it go
The signs are telling you to hide
To run from darkness and the light
To keep your presence out of sight
Not knowing what is wrong or right

The Ocean

This one comes off my first solo record "Songs From Another World" which is made entirely with (layered) violin and my voice. The song is about the process of leaving the matrix, which is not an easy one.

Lyrics:

Awake
Awake from sleepless nights
They take
Away all of my dreams of bliss
So late
Too late to hide away
And all the things i ever knew
Are lost behind this bitter view
The birds of grief are passing through
Awake from stars that shine within
This universe so full of sin
Reminding me i’ve never been this far
I fall
Into the void of lifeless joy
So low
I go deep down below
They know
I won’t be coming back no more
Awake after a million years
Of gravity and cosmic tears
The ghost of nature reappears
It’s like a dream within a dream
Reality’s not what it seems
I wonder why i haven’t seen this world before
This world
So close
To finally finding the answer

Awake

This small instrumental violin piece is a memory of my first and only trip to Kyoto, Japan, abut 6 years ago. The city of temples and shrines, it made a big impact on me, so one day i literally dreamed the basic chords and then improvised harmonics in the studio. It comes off my first solo record called "Songs From Another World" which is made entirely with violin and voice.

His solo repertoire includes his own compositions and covers of 21st-century tangos from Argentina whilst his anti-academic approach to violin playing is driven by the urge to explore the diverse facets of the instrument beyond its conventional use. With the help of effects pedals, improvisation and live looping, Musatov’s music reflects his desire to escape the ordinary and to reach new sonic frontiers.
