Fjodor’s “Hannahsan” is a deeply introspective piano EP consisting of 5 tracks that embark on a personal journey inspired by the concept of palindromes and the profound bond between a father and his daughter. This collection of piano pieces is a heartfelt dedication to his daughter, exploring the cyclical nature of love, life, and time.

The EP delves into the intricate relationship between beginnings and endings, presenting a musical exploration of how moments in time intertwine and repeat. By drawing on the concept of palindromes—where sequences remain the same forwards and backwards—Fjodor reflects on the timeless connection between the present, past, and future. Each piece is crafted to symbolize the seamless flow of these temporal elements.

Through the elegant simplicity of the piano, Fjodor captures the essence of these themes, creating a timeless and moving auditory experience. The music serves as a mirror to the profound bond shared between a father and his child, weaving together emotions that resonate with the listener on a deeply personal level. This EP is not just a collection of tracks but a sonic journey through the continuous and cyclical nature of life and love.

Fogo Corredor" is a hypnotic exploration of minimalist soundscapes, blending ambient textures with post-classical and electronic influences. Inspired by the works of Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sunn O))), and Vektroid, the track evolves around a central motif that morphs through layered arrangements—where acoustic introspection meets digital experimentation. Originally released in 2024, the composition was later expanded into a video art piece supported by Brazil’s Lei Paulo Gustavo, further deepening its meditative narrative. A gateway into Smhir’s forthcoming genre-defying album, arriving 2025.

the Spirit Spring

With his seventh full-length release, Unterland, Austrian composer and sound artist Kobermann (Johannes Piller) presents a meditative counterpoint to a culture spinning ever faster — one where the next reel, the next drop, and the next dopamine hit scream for attention. Unterland withdraws from this dynamic, offering instead a deep, slow-burning exploration of repetition, space, and sonic ritual.

Created primarily using modular synthesizers, field recordings, and minimal post-processing, the album moves between ambient, dub, and avant-garde minimalism, drawing influence from early New Age cassettes, contemporary drone practices, and tape-saturated club ghosts. But more than genre, Unterland is a terrain — an imagined topography where each track marks a physical and emotional waypoint.

The 60-minute journey begins with Waves, where blurred field recordings and gently detuned drones wash over the listener like fog over a valley. A child’s voice introduces the piece, speaking of “huge waves” — a fitting metaphor for the undulating nature of what follows.

The 23-minute Hokus Pokus becomes the album’s gravitational core. It’s less a composition than a space to inhabit: modular sequences, feedback loops, and noise textures evolve gradually, encouraging listeners to surrender to a slower sense of time. It’s an invitation to recalibrate — to listen in a way modern life rarely allows.

Alebrijes follows as a surreal, protective presence: ghostly rhythms, laugh-like tones, and deconstructed dub pulses drift through the mix like dream-guardians.

The B-side opens with Strobe Pad, where shimmering pads, panned percussion, and reverb-drenched harmonics suggest a moment of clarity — a brief emergence from the murk. The track serves as a light source before the final descent into abstraction.

Small Cases and Unfold mark a psychological ascent: from the minimalist weightlessness of travel into the oxygen-thin air of revelation. Granular textures and filtered drones evoke both euphoria and disorientation — the moment after a summit, when the world reshapes itself around your breath.

The closing track, Future Schmelz, places the listener at a glacial edge, where crumbling drums and filtered sequences collapse into a dance of entropy. Delayed hats, decaying Moog DFAM sequences, and feedback bursts create a post-dub atmosphere — as if memory itself were dissolving.

All seven pieces were composed and recorded between February 2024 and February 2025 using a modular system, recorded and arranged in Ableton Live.

Kobermann - Hokus Pokus

[Verse 1] 
I drift in silent corridors,
Where whispers form in half-light glow,
A voice once bold now barely flows,
A shadow lost in time’s cold undertow.

The laughter’s ghost on cracked stone walls,
An elegy in every muted tone,
In slow, deliberate, hushed recalls,
I wander through the dark alone.

[Chorus] 
Whispers of forgotten echoes call,
Soft as the rain on empty streets,
A faded song, a dying fall,
A quiet ache that never sleeps.

[Verse 2] 
Neon Nights hum low and strange,
Their faded glow a distant past,
I trace their shimmer, pale and wan,
Like memories I thought would last.

My words once burned like fevered light,
But now they flicker, now they wane,
Soft embers swallowed by the night,
A warmth that won’t return again.

[Chorus] 
Whispers of forgotten echoes call,
Soft as the rain on empty streets,
A faded song, a dying fall,
A quiet ache that never sleeps.

[Bridge] 
The mirror holds a hollow face,
Eyes that know but won’t confess,
A silent weight I can’t erase,
A voice that fades with each caress.

[Verse 3] 
The world moves on in vibrant waves,
I watch it from the quiet deep,
No longer reaching, I just remain,
A name the wind forgets to keep.

[Outro] 
Neon Nights still hum below,
A song unheard, a spectral plea,
I fade into the undertow,
A whisper lost inside the sea.

Valeria's vocals drift like ghosts over a sea of quiet reverb and dusk-lit sorrow. It’s not just a song—it’s a soft collapse into everything you almost remembered.

Was born in 1983. Graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts; media-artist, musician, photographer, curator of international exhibitions.

i am mainly a composer of piano works. However i do also experimentation with sound  and electronics.  Most of my works are recorded on piano and then enhanced slightly through digital means.  But all of the compositions are my own works.

Project KT (standing for Knowledge Transfer) is the solo creative project of Kareem Tyler, a multidimensional being navigating the constraints of the physical realm through immersive, genre-blending artistry. Blending progressive rock, symphonic fusion, post‑punk ambience, and a touch of metallic catharsis, Project KT crafts cinematic soundscapes rooted in raw poetry, violin-led instrumentation, and emotional tension.

After a life-altering accident that caused partial vocal cord paralysis and ended his ability to play piano, Kareem reinvented his creative process with digital composition and visual art—turning personal trauma into transcendent expression. His music now explores loss, longing, and rebirth through long-form storytelling and orchestral depth. Though Project KT remains firmly his own vision—overseeing lyricism, production, and artwork—he is actively seeking a female vocalist collaborator to give voice to the remaining untold emotional core.

With a vibrant presence on Instagram and BandLab, Project KT continues building cross-medium narratives that fuse sound, image, and meaning. If you are a vocalist or visual artist drawn to gothic romanticism, cinematic drama, and genre-fluid experimentation, Project KT invites you into the echo.

hi, i mostly make  soundtrack/videogame-like music.

I like pretty much any music genre, but Jazz Fusion, Classical (Romanticism and Impressionism) and Minimalism have a special place on my heart.

As an Iranian composer, I blend tradition with innovation to create compelling music and soundtracks for cinematic and multimedia projects. let's play!
