Made it to BMM Vinyl today. Been postponing this visit for months without good reason. The shop turned out exactly right. Floor-to-ceiling shelves, that specific smell of old paper and pressed vinyl, lighting deliberately kept low. Owner acknowledged me with a nod and returned to whatever he was doing. No forced conversation, just the space […]

Last night’s live stream from Flanger Studio turned into exactly what I hoped it would. Pure collaborative energy with no agenda beyond making music together. The setup was simple: me on vocals, bass, guitar, and drums filling out the sound. We’d played together before, but jamming live whilst streaming added this interesting dynamic where performing

Yesterday’s studio session brought something unexpected. Broadcasting simultaneously on YouTube and Bandcamp whilst recording completely new tracks created this unique energy where creative work became shared experience.

The atmosphere captured that perfect balance between structure and spontaneity.

Confession time. The studio has become my second home lately, and we’re crafting what might be the most emotionally heavy track I’ve written yet. This new song pulls from a different emotional well than anything on ‘НА ВЕСЬ МИР’ (To the Whole World). The working process feels different this time around. Where previous tracks often

‘Boy’ winning First Prize at the UK International Music Competition completes a journey that started as October 2022 home demo. Three years of refinement taught lessons about persistence and artistic development. The original demo captured melodic foundation and emotional core, but production quality reflected bedroom recording limitations.

Yesterday’s Bandcamp listening party felt exactly like I’d hoped it would. Intimate, genuine, properly connected. We went through the entire EP together whilst chatting in real time, and those forty minutes showed me what direct artist-listener dialogue can actually achieve. The questions came naturally.

There’s something honest about Bandcamp’s approach to independent music that aligns with how this EP came together. The platform offers a different listening experience than streaming services. Higher quality audio,
