Hi everyone! I am extremely humbled to present you our collaborative work with the fabulous Ukrainian dance-team Apache Crew! It is a truly mesmerizing piece of art and I am so happy to share it with you. The Crew took one of the pieces I composed for our Ukrainian-based jazz band "AQ" and turned it into a story about loneliness, craving for love, yet unceasing hope that the world can finally become a safe place for everyone, no matter what differences we have.
Dear friends! It has been such an adventure filming on the streets of our beloved New York City! We shot a little music video at a gorgeous location in West Village and here is a result!

So, enjoy the music and please, leave some feedback ;) Thanks!

Hey everyone! I am very excited to be a part of the creative team for Misha Chowdhury's play "Optics Of The Dying Light". It has been an amazing week of productive rehearsals of all the wonderful music that was written by an amazing composer/songwriter Laura Grill. I struggle to find proper words to explain how great Laura music is, so you can just check her out. Goose bumps and excessive amount of delight are guaranteed. Btw, I also contributed a bit by writing an opening theme that we eventually called "The Theme of Light" :) So, friends, I strongly encourage you to come and see this enticing play!
Extremely excited about the outcome of our collaboration with a stunning Ukrainian singer/songwriter Jamala for her latest album "Sigh"! Please, listen to her incredible song "Promise", which I was honored to record a piano part for.
In the following video I talk about the full length documentary "Mustafa", which I am so privileged to be a part of as the composer and sound producer.
