About
When I was 8, a woman came into our classroom and asked: “Who wants to play the accordion?”. I jumped up from my seat full of enthusiasm, shouting “Me!” without even knowing what an accordion was. Fortunately, my mother always supported my interests, and she and my grandma bought me an accordion. Later, my interests expanded to include the guitar, the drums, computer music, and (eventually) composition.
As of January 2026, I live and work in Kraków, Poland, and I’ve been writing music for almost 25 years now — from early experiments with instruments and computer music to releases, performances, and collaborations across different scenes.
Over the last decade my approach has shifted noticeably. Since my post-minimalist album Transliaciya, I’ve become increasingly interested in form: building clear, readable structures that can still unfold on a large scale, remain coherent, and keep the material connected. My current language often brings tonal reference points into dialogue with post-tonal thinking. In 2025–2026 I also took private composition lessons with Prof. Maciej Jabłoński (The Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music), which helped sharpen this direction.
Alongside solo work, I’ve been involved in collaborations, film scoring, and audio-visual / generative projects. In Belarus, I co-founded the Society for the Development of New Music, supporting contemporary Belarusian composers through recordings and concerts, and helped establish the Belarus Modern Orchestra. Releases include Before the Void and earlier works such as Laniakea, My Mother. I also wrote music for the anti-war performance The Hate in collaboration with Altana Dance Theatre.
I don’t try to lock myself into a single style. What matters to me is that the music stays honest.
