Guest musicians: beautiful life - drums on "Songs of Despair"
Musicians wanted: in order to take Shadegrown music to the next level, I'm constantly searching for musicians who would like to participate in the project. If you like what I do and play keyboards, violin, cello, flute, trumpet, accordion or other instrument (or sing!), contact me and may be we'll record a great album together. Our collaboration will be possible if you are able to record your performance with reasonable quality and exchange recordings over Internet (or live in Saint-Petersburg).

Discography:
2009 - Stop the World
Currently in production stage. You can listen to what has been finished on last.fm album page.
2007 - Songs of Despair
The easiest way to find darkness is to search for light. So if you feel darkness from around and inside, but still your soul is eager for love and light, then these songs of despair are for you.
Songs of Despair album consists of some of my earlier songs, recorded in gothic rock/gothic metal style. I always dreamt of creating an album with a dose of good drive. :)
2005 - Under the Banner of Emptiness
What should one do if, in his or her perception, the whole world collapses into a single point, and then this point just disappears? Emptiness is neither good nor bad; it is up to you to decide how to feel about it. I'd recommend to put a smile on the face, raise your banner of emptiness and keep on going forward.
Under the Banner of Emptiness is a very odd piece of music as it mixes such genres as neofolk, neoclassic and even reggae, as reviewers claim. Dark folk reggae? :) Call it as you wish. Anyway, a word or two couldn't stand for the whole conception.
2003 - Forever Alone
It is said that everyone is alone. So, welcome to the dark journey from the ultimate perception of loneliness to the ultimate acceptance of it, from the confusion inside your mind to the eternal tranquility of nature.
Stylistically Forever Alone may be described as post doom, with some elements of darkwave and neofolk. Though this is my first recording and it sounds quite amateur, some people find certain songs very touching.
"Songs of Despair" album was released by Ekleipsi - a non-commercial Net Label providing independent dark music, free to listen and download.
