Happy to report that my channel reached 300 subscribers last night! That might not seem like much, until you think of the fact that those are actual people in many different parts of the world, from all kinds of walks of life.
I forgot to post my pre-new year little release, "Restrained Hope", but today is as good of a day to let you know about it. It's a long-form single composition, built around my explorations of looping electric cello and synths. The sound palette of it is very warm, and it's more about playing with colours of sound rather than compositional complexity. I intentionally kept it long, at almost 25 minutes, and it's a good soundtrack for a walk or relax to.
It's a name-your-price release, as I meant it more of a New Year gift to my community, so you have the option of either downloading it for free, or supporting me on my journey with a purchase if that feels like a right thing to do.

Itās been a while since my last bandcamp release, but good things come to those who wait. This is 2 hour mixtape of previously unreleased, well-hidden, beautiful sounds that I so brutally disregarded as not good enough.
Originally created for a home art exhibition by my parther @itisntmeitisntmine, now available as name-your-price download, so that everyone could have it, but the people who want to support me still could do so.

Youāll have to forgive vertical videos of late. I see a clear trend of synth videos getting less and less views, even on bigger channels, and itās discouraging. I get more views on the damn tiktok)
I mostly shoot vertical for Instagram, which is a bit more fun place to be in.
The truth is I just canāt complete with cooking videos, shorts cut from tv and film, amazon finds etc, so my only content goal is to stay in touch with people who care about me and what I do.
Last couple of days Iāve been exploring the Aparillo app, which is a quite amazing and itās weird that I havenāt bought it sooner. And once again, an iPad app is challenging owning a eurorack system, because I simply get to the fun of making sounds and textures faster. This matters, because I feel like Iām running out of time. Does it matter to you much when I play hardware vs software?
Remember to change notification bell settings to never miss videos and news from me, thank you.
Today Iām surprised to find that I have 39 minutes of some of my best music on streaming platforms.
Itās pretty much an album that encompasses almost everything I do as an artist - from cinematic drone to neoclassical to techno and romantic ambient.
Hereās the playlist / album on yt music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Jfb...
If thereās interest I can release it on bandcamp.
I hope someone cares.

Itās the very first time my music gets released on tape!
The cover art is my photo, too)
Beautiful, vulnerable short piece Iāve made on ipad during my exile in Western Ukraine last spring. Didnāt get much views, unfortunately.
Hopefully that was the last time I had to be an internally displaced person.
Unusually dark composition and video.
Hereās something very special for you.
Lets try something new.
ambient music that cuts to the bone
