About his artistic mission:
"There is too much music, and it sounds everywhere, but strangely, nobody had said that music can be the most dangerous dope, that can destroy our integrity.
Only in old China, Lee-tsy, in his "Notes on Music", I century B.C., argued about the desorder in music involving the downfall of States.
There is so much music...that it seems we don't need to create more, but the creative act is as important for our survival, as salvation of a hermit in desert.
From immemorial time, it has been said that music's condition is terrifying. This everlasting pessimism is may be due to the contradiction between the music ideal essence and the human imperfection.
Music is an impression of what we are incapable to grasp completely. No words, no distortion."
at this moment especially recommended the 5th scene from the ballet "GILGAMESH" (Enkidu's Funeral) or "LAUDA" performed by "Syntagma", or one of the Ricercars for two recorders, or anything else!
Born in St-Petersbourg, where he studied composition, he passed three years in Scola Cantorum Basiliensis cultivating his lute playing.
Started composing and had the privilege to hear his music performed by Leningrad Philarmonic Orchestra, when being young student at Mussorgski School.
After learning Stockhausen, Boulez and others, searching to innovate the musical language, he turned himself towards early music.
