about

The idea for this album was born in 2013, when I, as a student of applied mathematics and a big fan of King Crimson, wrote the four-movement suite Frozen Sun. Eight years later, I returned to it and refined it, adding improvisation with a bias towards Scandinavian jazz. However, the general concept remains: a combination of a "cold" rhythm section and an expressive saxophone, which symbolizes the frozen or dead sun inside the seemingly endless Russian winter.

The second part of the album consists of my new compositions, stylistically moving away from jazz harmonies to modal minimalism using piano and electronics, but remaining improvisational music at the same time. These compositions are about trying to embrace winter in its entirety, without thinking about when spring will come, or if it will ever come.
