  • Relaxing music

    Soft strings and silky woodwinds, smooth piano and warm human voice. All that blending together and creating a carpet of slowly moving sounds and harmonies. I’ve been listening to relaxing music for many years. It seemed so simple, but yet deep. I thought, for me as a musician and composer it would be easy to…

  • Always With You

    Today recorded my new piece for solo guitar called Always With You. I started writing the piece a couple of weeks ago and initially it was just an improvisation, an exercise in melody development. But then it started growing under my fingers.

Level I”, finished one of my older pieces called “A Tune”, which I was composing in 2015, but didn’t finish, went to a lecture of Patrick Zeoli (student of Abel Carlevaro) about the guitar technique.…

  • You are not alone

    Couple of years ago, after one of my concerts, that consisted entirely of my music, I went to speak with an established composer, who was in the audience. We chatted for about five minutes, during which he told me that “we, composers, are alone”. I wasn’t hundred percent sure what he meant, but here is…

  • Tallinn Guitar Festival 2018 (overview)

Went to Assad Brothers concert, as well as attended their masterclasses and spent nice evening in a restaurant talking about musical…
