Coordinating Memory and Music

The Viktor Tsoi Memorial Concert at 16 Tons Club required balancing artistic tribute with practical organisation. Serving as both musical coordinator and solo performer created dual responsibilities that pushed creative boundaries. Coordinating memorial concerts demands sensitivity alongside technical precision. Selecting artists, managing schedules, maintaining tribute atmosphere: logistical complexities multiply when personal artistic contribution intersects with […]

New Single Drops: Exploring Different Territory

ЗНАЕШЬ is officially here, marking my first Russian-language release in years. This track represents a deliberate shift – both sonically and emotionally – from everything I’ve done recently. The decision to write in Russian wasn’t planned. These words emerged naturally during a quiet evening, demanding their native language. Sometimes certain emotions need their original tongue,

Solo Show at Ellie Lager: When Music Becomes Conversation

Tonight at “Элли Лагер” proved that some venues choose their moments perfectly. The pub’s intimate atmosphere created exactly the right setting for what became my most emotionally direct performance yet. Walking onto that small stage felt different than previous shows.

Recording it felt necessary rather than strategic: just

When the Room Becomes the Song: Live at ДУШУ НАРУЖУ

The “ДУШУ НАРУЖУ” show happened, and honestly, it still feels unreal. Three weeks of preparation condensed into one evening that changed how I think about performing solo. The venue chose us as much as we chose it. Walking into that space, you immediately understand why certain songs need intimate rooms to breathe properly. No band,

Six Lessons That Actually Mattered

Production masterclasses became routine this year. Not because I planned it, but because each session revealed gaps I didn’t know existed. January started with arrangement fundamentals. Basic stuff, supposedly. Turned out my understanding of vocal layering was completely wrong. Six months of stacking harmonies the hard way when two simple techniques could achieve the same
