Roman Gorielov - acoustic guitarist, composer & producer: https://linktr.ee/romangorielov

Hello! My name is Roman Gorielov. I am a musician from Ukraine. I fell in love with music when I was a child when I heard the album "Revolver" by The Beatles. The melody was magical and so in 1998 I started learning to play the acoustic guitar. 

In 2004 I graduated from a classical guitar music school and together with my classmates founded a band called Teatr Violy. We performed in local clubs, recorded at studios, and also were on radio and television. 

Since 2008 I have been taking part in the recording of Sunchild and Karfagen albums by my friend Antony Kalugin. Here I performed acoustic, electric and nylon guitars and sometimes backing vocals. During this period we participated at several prog-rock festivals in Europe. France in 2009, Holland in 2010, Belgium in 2013, France again in 2014 and 2017... The experience was amazing and rewarding. 

Since 2017 I started doing solo work: I compose, perform and record music myself in my studio using only live acoustic guitars. I can describe my music as melodic and emotional instrumental compositions with a gentle, soulful and lyrical mood. I am glad if you are interested in my music and I wish you all the best! 

P.S.: Oh, by the way, I also do the cover design and photos for all my tracks, so my work is a real self-portrait:)

I’ve been writing and producing music since the early 1970's.  Fist as a young viola player, then a cellist, the round musician disobeyed his mothers and snuck off to plays guitar and drums. In fact, any instrument in the vicinity.  After jobs doing graphic design, I began a career in full service advertising, with clients ranging from food, to travel but with a specialty in the music business with offices on Long Island and New York City.  I write, produce and place spots for radio and TV.  

Erin Hobson and I met in 2008, forming The Compact a busy and highly respected local band in the Hudson Valley, a region of New York that encompasses the vibrant music scenes from Woodstock to the surrounding areas.  The Hudson Valley is Hobson's home, but only a short train ride from my hometown, Brooklyn and New York City— So the flavor of each album and single is decidedly urban and self-aware. It’s a deep study in sophisticated grooves, funky counterpoint, intertwining guitars and adventurous songwriting.

The Compact released three albums and several singles from the indy record company and label Choking Chicken Music. 

These contain a collection of playful, spontaneous, and live-feeling originals (plus three covers) that draw their character from the unlikely partnership. The Compact’s signature is intuitive musical interplay and the striking personality contrasts between long-time collaborators Hobson on guitar and vocals, and multi-instrumentalist Ross whose primary instrument is the bass.

With pop hooks abound, the record also features spoken-word in three pieces, street poetry and surreal stream of consciousness narratives over deep grooves, drawn from multiple chapters of the American songbook. It’s a work of risk-taking, unfettered creativity that fuses pop values with earthy rhythms.

The record-opening single “It’s a Wash” evokes the push-pull groove of “Dancing In the Streets” as it obliquely relates the experience of living through Hurricane Irene. The duet’s voices harmonize, then split into call-and-response dialog (a recurrent theme on this record) before uniting for the hooky chorus. “Dirty Minds” is a relaxed and spacious R&B style riff-rocker with driving bass lines and honky-tonk piano comping.

While Steven W. Ross has always been integral to the Compact’s writing, arranging, and performances, on 1@AX (one at a time) he steps to the mic in front of the group for the first time. Bringing a smart, thorny personality to songs like “Rest My Soul” and “The 24th Of May,” and serving throughout as gritty foil and friction for Hobson—bristling against her smooth tunefulness.

“Each collection encompasses colors, feels, and textures giving each track its own atmosphere. "We drew from grooves that evolved in jam sections at our live shows,” says Ross, who was mentored by legendary producer Paul Rothchild (the Doors, Janis Joplin), and in addition to producing 1@AX contributes guitars, keyboards, drums, and percussion. “Other songs were created from the ground up in the studio. We wanted this album to capture the freedom we feel when we gig.” Hobson adds, “One at a Time’s process has been liberating for us both, and kind of a joy.”
