Born in 1988, I began my path in music with a formal piano education, which laid the foundation for my professional career. I went on to graduate in Sound Engineering from Saint Petersburg, where I also pursued academic research, completing a dissertation titled “Musical Minimalism in the American Avant-Garde of the 20th Century: Stylistic Origins.”

My early career was dedicated to composing for drama and children’s theatre. Over time, I expanded into collaborations with choreographers, creating music for contemporary dance and exploring the intricate dialogue between sound and movement.

Music Production
Specializing in media, cinema, and entertainment, I aim to bring creative visions to life by finding innovative artistic solutions and delivering high-quality audio production.

For me, writing music is about immersing myself in an idea, understanding its artistic intent, and transforming it into music that serves the vision with both creative integrity and technical precision

Live Performances & Concert Projects

My live work explores music as a space for transformation — a way of observing inner change, movement, and the search for a deeper sense of connection. I am interested in the moment when music moves beyond sound and becomes part of a larger experience, bringing together image, movement, space, and the presence of the performer.

My concert program Presence was created in support of my debut album of the same name and explores the idea of being fully present — in sound, in space, and in the moment. Metamorphosis, a two-part concert program, focuses on transformation and the changing inner state of a person, moving from one emotional and spiritual condition to another.

I have also participated in Music Saves the World, an interdisciplinary festival in Montenegro, presenting a performance featuring a contemporary dance performer and cellist Sergey Suvorov. The project brought together different artistic languages around ideas of human connection, inner growth, and the possibility of positive change.

As the composer and performer of AVE Trio, I develop and perform original music at the intersection of contemporary classical music, minimalism, and modern performance. The trio has presented its work in concert settings, including performances at Porto Montenegro in Tivat, as well as other live projects.

Another significant project was a live score for Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera, performed in Tivat, Montenegro, at Porto Montenegro, together with musician Oleg Smirnov. The performance explored the relationship between contemporary live music and the rhythm, movement, and visual language of early cinema.

These projects reflect my interest in performance as more than a presentation of music: a shared space where sound, movement, image, and human presence can create an experience that continues beyond the concert itself.
