My interview
Musicaneo questions answered
I write music in different styles, genres and forms: from a symphony to a popular song. This is not only academic neoclassical and neo-impressionistic music, but also popular indie music, including: compositions for the program of solo concerts in music clubs, art cafes, etc.
In addition, I really love crossover style, and I myself remix my academic compositions for my variety concerts.
I also write music, so to speak, "at the junction of genres" - for example, my composition Concerto for voice and chamber orchestra, where a jazz vocalist performs his solo on scat. At the same time, the composition is written in the classical academic sonata form, the vocalist is accompanied by a classical string orchestra with the addition of such instruments as piano, bass guitar with copper braided strings and a drum set.
My creative path began, perhaps, with the very first piano lesson at the Kharkiv Secondary Special Musical School - ten years old, where my mother brought me “by the hand” when I was five years old.
Then there was the Moscow Central Music School, then the Moscow Conservatory and postgraduate studies…
My most treasured memory of those years is the composition lessons at the Conservatory.
After graduating from the Conservatory, I have been actively involved in creative work. I give solo author's concerts, participate in combined concerts, various festivals and competitions.
I am inspired by nature, its beauty and grandeur, as well as travel and folklore of different peoples in all its richness and diversity.
I really love the music of Mozart, Berlioz, Orff, Gershwin, and I think these composers influenced my work.
I want to express my gratitude to my former teachers and new friends and fellow musicians. Contact and creative communication is very important to me.
My next creative plans are shooting, editing and publishing video clips based on music from my compositions, concerts and creative meetings.
I consider the release and rotation of my compositions in albums and singles on world streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc. to be my important achievements.
In terms of "my immediate" audience, I have no limits. I write different music for different types of audiences, from the elite intelligent public to the mass youth popular environment.
There are compositions specially written for children, students and their teachers.
For me, an indicator of the quality of a musical composition is its logical, well-built musical form. In this case, this work is easy and pleasant to perceive and listen to with pleasure.
The performer of my music must play my works well, with inspiration and with pleasure, so that he himself likes it.
I'm looking for performers in every possible way. This is both a personal acquaintance and friendship, these are new acquaintances, including in blogs and social networks, these are joint concerts and much more.
My music is heard on the radio, in concerts, at festivals.
My next concert is participation in the Composers Festival in Bexville-on-Sea (Great Britain), a number of concerts in music clubs.
I consider the most significant works in my work to be the Cycle of Pieces for Violin and Piano (names of parts: Dolce, Ivan Tsarevich thought, Vasilisa in the Kingdom of Koshcheev, Baba Yaga), Concerto for voice and orchestra, Symphonic picture "Night on Ivan Kupala" in two parts .
By the way, I also have the song "Night on Ivan Kupala". This is a remix of my own composition in crossover style.
I consider lies and meanness unacceptable in art and in life.
Love gives me a feeling of joy and happiness. Creative friendship with musicians and artists and mutual understanding.
I would like to reach an understanding and cooperation with concert agencies for the organization of my concerts and tours over the next years.
