Artist description Russian composer. "Different styles for differentperiods. I wrote several romantic compositions. In my scholar years I reflected long over my musical style, but when you know what you wantto say, this question desappers. Now I conciously try to express complex ideasand reflections with very simple words. Last experiences belong to electronic music. I'm working on a cycle of electronic Canons from which you can hear one part, "Infinity".But I consider these tries with no great optimism". "...My innovations do not affect palpable, superficial aspects of musical language, as microintervals, strange quality of tone and all ather requisite. They lay more profoundly and focus the dramatic composition of an entire piece. Giving traditional formes up,I create a specific structure for every composition. And never resume it." "There is too much music, and it sounds everywhere, but stragely, nobody had said thatmusic can be the most dangerous pollution, that can destroy our integrity. Only in old China Lee-tsy, in his "Noteson Music", I century before J.C., argued about the desorder in music involving the downfall of States. There is too much music...that it seems there is no need to create more, but the creative act is as important to survive, as salvation of ahermit in desert.
