In September 2024 we made Ambient Chapel—a festival of contemplative electronic music in abandoned Lutheran Church in Karelia. Here's my set from there, and you may also find recordings of other musicians on @ambientchapel profile.
In my set I aim to combine Medieval and Renaissance polyphony with modern sound synthesis and semi generative sequencing approaches.

Dear listener,
This is my humble contribution to international Piano Day. Even though I don't really consider myself a pianist, I love the instrument from the bottom of my heart and hope I can extract something musical out of it.
Please, feel free to join me in this premiere, let's celebrate the piano together!

Dear friends!

Today is a release day for my album Etudes. It's now available on all digital platforms, please grab it on your favorite one via link:
linktr.ee/closeyoureyes

This album is special for me. Here I reimagined all my creative process, building it around hardware synths and acoustic instruments instead of computer. It changed workflow, mindset, habits and of course it changed my music. Now, listening to it after some break, I'm sure I really like the result. Hope you'll enjoy it too and join me in this ten-track journey.

And last but not least, I want to friendly remind you, that the best way to support musicians is to buy their music and merch on Bandcamp. And since today is Bandcamp Friday, all your payment will go straight to the author.

Thank you for being here!

xx

Dear friends,

Today I'm excited to announce that my new album "Etudes" will be released on December, 4th (next Bandcamp Friday!) on all digital platforms. Preorder starts this Wednesday on my Bandcamp, and before that I'll share something special here on YouTube as a friendly reminder for you.

"Etudes" is a story of my efforts to interact with the instruments and effects I've been collecting in my room during last two years.
It raised from my old idea to record a "tiny orchestra album" which supposed to be composed on such a lightweight instruments as ukulele, melodica, toy piano, glockenspiel, harp etc. However, "Etudes" is going beyond this concept, as I put my beloved tiny things in a context of more familiar sounds of analog synths, drum machines and electric guitars.

The album will be self-released, so I'll appreciate your support more than ever.

Etudes (2020)

1. Epigraph
2. Rainwalker
3. Birds Around
4. Elegiac
5. Transience II
6. November Sketch
7. Waster Tune
8. A Song
9. Ne Trevozhsya
10. Postscriptum

Take care and enjoy the music,
Eggor
