A cross-genre music project or, rather, a moniker under which I do most of my music these days. Launched as a prog-rock band, it is now a single-person project.
Warning: Below is the significant amount of Bandcamp embeds. They may take a while to load.
Live at MusicPoint Batumi venue, recorded on the go. Some minor tweaks had to be applied. Self-released in 2025.
An applicative single-track to assist people with sleeping issues. Self-released in 2025.
‘summa timorum’ (Lat. for ‘The Sum of Fears’). Released by ‘The Day of Life Forgotten’ netlabel in 2025.
‘Static Apparitions’, the by-product of several live performances. Released by Neotantra in 2025.
The album released by ‘The Day of Life Forgotten’ label in 2024.
Yet another album released by Neotantra. I started writing it in 2021 but only managed to finalize it in 2024.
This album marks the dark anniversary of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Self-released in 2024.
Three tracks composed in memory of a close friend who passed away in late 2023. Self-released in 2024.
In 2022 I escaped Russia and ended up in Georgia with only a laptop and earbuds for phones – no instruments, nothing. Still to keep myself sane, I tried to do ambient with redownloaded VSTis I have purchased back in a day, and a computer keyboard. The resulting two albums had been released by Neotantra label in 2023.
A personal chronicle of the months between the beginning of Russian invasion into Ukraine and expedited emigration. The final four tracks of the second part had been completed in Georgia.
A ‘director’s cut’ of an old song composed for Lacklustre Mirror band in late 1990s, and recorded closer to its original concept. I did all instruments and some vocals. Marea Internum, Lacklustre Mirror’s frontwoman in the first half of 2000s, handled the primary vocals. Released in 2021.
A studio version of a dark-ambient set played live in late 2021. Released by ‘The Day of Life Forgotten’ label. Artwork by Ivan Kirichenko.
A solo conceptual effort close to neofolk in sound, and with predominantly spoken word. Took me 10 years to compose and record.

Launched back in 2005, ‘Decembered’ was mostly a one-man experimental project focused on creating immersive ambient soundscapes and other kinds of experimental music. The project was shut down in 2015.
