Ledge HSE Friends in Town Party 12-7-24

Experimenting with mixing multiple tracks, downtempo/organic house

Downtempo, Organic House, Deconstructed 10-25-24

A mix of organic, deep and minimal tech, and tech house next to the fire, under lights, in the forest, at my friend's budding Torchkovo Art Collective.

Torchkovo's Soft Opening 4-25-25

Here,  by playing with my controller one night, I took a stab at weaving three different stories together. The first one is an idyllic beach party as described by a few minimal tech and tech house tracks. The paradise is then is shattered where one ends up in a desert next to a labyrinth that promises some spiritual discoveries but in reality is full of feral cats, junkies, and even a vamipire, promptly turning the place into a dystopian hellscape as described by dark, heavy techno. In the final chapter, the hellscape dissolves and is transformed, once again, into a happy, spiritual space.

Light vs. Darkness-Short 5-2-25

Since I was a kid back in the former Soviet Union, I was fascinated with the sound, from animal noises to bus, plane and train noises to the Euro disco music finding its way around the Iron curtain. However, only right around the pandemic, in my 40s, I decided  to share my love of music with others and watch them dance or enjoy themselves while relaxing. At the same time, I love to explore the cutting edges of musical expression to see what is possible to do with the sound. As a result, my musical taste is constantly evolving and could be considered eclectic, from techno to house to folktronica and jazz to name a few.
