I was born in Russia 26 years ago and have lived in England for 6 now.
I am obsessive about music, noise, sound, playing, improvising,
writing, seeing gigs etc. I am very lucky to be spending pretty much
all of my time doing those things at the moment. The gods are kind!
I have been playing, writing and recording with some very exciting
people recently and looking forward to doing plenty more
collaborations, sessions and gigs. Amongst the most interesting ones I
have done fairly recently are SAN EXPO with "Behaviour", a 17-piece
laptop and live electronics ensemble and Evan Parker, QuWack (E) (solo
performance) and playing with Hunting Lodge as backing band for Damo
Suzuki of Can.
My favourite things to play with: analogue synths (Bugbrand
Mini-Modular and Arp 2600 have been the favourites), vintage hardware
in general, feedback loops of all colours and shapes, interesting
pedals and boxes, some lovely strange folk instruments (I have a
couple: a finnish kantele and a bowed psaltry but I would like more)
for which I use bows, e-bows and other little sound generating
objects. My first instrument was the piano but I also play basic guitar,
drums, bass etc. Sometimes I sing too...
Currently I am working on more musical, structured, song-based
composition as well as continuing regular improvisational activities.
Some of my recent projects include:
Totton Glass (with ex-Hunting Lodgers Dan Bennett and Clive Henry), improvised mess of harp, electronic sludge, sax and guitar.
