about

The Sun Instead of Head album is a personal dedication of the author. He is paying homage to the summer season and so it is quite fitting that the album gets released on the summer solstice.
“Summer is part of the natural cycle, the time when all living things become active, as the sun generously distributes its energy. For me personally (and I think the same is true for many people out there), summer is the time of exploration. We move around a lot, travel, experience and discover new things. I wanted to use music to convey this state of passionate search, this zest for life. Perhaps that is why some songs sound a bit naive, a bit childish. Growing up, the passage of time is perceived differently. The days seem longer because they are filled with all sorts of wonderful discoveries.

Some of the songs from the album were originally written as a score for the film installation titled “The Path of My Artist” directed by Natalia Poluyanova. In this work, Natalia illustrates and explores the phenomenon of the inner child in the body of an adventurer. I wanted the music to bring about intriguing and exciting artistic images, awaken imagination and enhance the familiar reality.”
