No Darkness Suite

  Piece 'No Darkness Suite' is similar to a fantastic nocturne, but it sounds light and positive. It's hard to find a video for such music, so I got a film that I shot in 2022 during the Kyiv blackout - I just went out into the street, which was in complete darkness, you don't see that often.  For the first time in my practice, I used the Ukrainian national instrument with 64 strings - the bandura. Why bandura? Because I have it (my son is learning to play on it) and I've been eyeing it for a long time.   I hope you will not fall asleep and listen to the end.  Дякую! Thanks!

The Speed. the Passion. the Paradigm

where are all bluring effects came from? where Abstract Art, Modernizm of XX c. came from? pale colors and rich visual effects - where are they came from and where they go? Recent visual discours is multilayered. Similar in history - we meet in everyday life people from Middle Age as well meet people and everyday events from far older history. They interact separately and developing into more modern form. 

HALFSTEPS 21 and 22

  The magic power of numbers - today is 12 / 02 / 2021 and I published two new pieces called Halfsteps 21 and 22. As always they are fully improvised. HS21 HS22  

Halfsteps 3 Is Online: New Sound Of Free Jazz Guitar

Yes, "Halfsteps 3" is online! What I pursue is to make sound closer to the listener, add intimacy, at the same time to make it concerting. As I hear it in my head - space shout of delicate mini technique. Who can tell: why I am followed by wabi-sabi? 

Halfsteps 2. Diffused, sleepy and relaxed

I continue to make halfsteps ) and have posted a new video called Halfsteps 2 [Free Form Jazz Guitar]. It uses the same static footage (the same October crossroad), but now that is the movie with a people crossing street. I know that is amateurish, mobile video is not a Dolby TrueHD , but today that is the plus. Guitar tone is solid and round, melodical line is diffused, sleepy and relaxed.  Compare with the first Halfsteps .

Electro Techno + Free Jazz + Analog Guitar

Keep things simple - I tell myself everytime I sit to improvise or produce a new impro track with my guitar. And never was happy. All periods and melodies too complicated for free imagination. At first, I don't like to think beforehand what I want to play and I don't like to keep my playing scheduled. No! I'm the free poet, - I tell to myself. How CAN I be programmed to play Saint Music? I used my Fall autumn photography I shot close to my house. It indeed really describes my feelings and mood - lyrical, nostalgic, Zenish and free.

Horizon - free jazz instrumental

Music has the wonderful property of telling stories without using words. I like that very much, as you can tell about anything you want - including tales of your hidden corners, poetry, which does not know day light. HORIZON is another 'long' 19 min story I recorded after RUZHYNSKA . They own some nostalgy blue minor sense and hold that nice Jazz tone (I like).
