about

Many years ago the “Lenin was a mushroom” concept had me, together with the rest of the nation (“there, where my nation, alas! was”), in stitches. Later on I meticulously studied (that’s precisely the word -- studied) every bit of video and audio recordings of Sergey Kuryokhin’s “Pop-Mekhanika” available at the time. To this day I consider him an unparalleled musical phenomenon merging pop and classical genres whose sheer talent and cultural impact will likely remain unmatched in the foreseeable future.

Then I memorized “Sparrow Oratorium” and often fantasized imagining myself among the celestials who were making this happen.

Years of self-searching followed.

Next came months of the pandemic spent working with a notation editor.

And finally we are presenting the Sergey Kuryokhin album “Four Seasons” from his “Sparrow Oratorium” arranged by me personally and performed by an absolute genius of a team.

What defines Russian music? There’s an element of madness in it. What’s the difference between Bach and Tchaikovsky? None whatsoever, just that Tchaikovsky has the right degree of madness in him to be regarded as a typical Russian classical composer.
