요약This portfolio combines a selection of musical works I created between 2017 and 2022. In many ways, each of the eight selected pieces, no matter how sonically, conceptually, or stylistically different from each other, intertwines with the ideas of the Internal Family Systems psychological model (IFS), where the mind is naturally seen as subdivided into an indeterminate number of subpersonalities or parts that develop a complex system of interactions among themselves. This philosophy has become crucial to my daily practice over the last seven years, deeply affecting my creative process and conception of individual sounds and their sound worlds. Most importantly, it has profoundly changed the way I listen.My earlier piece Cositas Diminutas (2017), encapsulates my fascination with the thingness of found objects and explores how they shape a performer's behavior in a musical context of a prepared piano. The narrative in this piece builds around the theatre of objects inside a piano, where each object is seen as an extension of the instrument and the pianist (a puppeteer) and represents a part of their multifaceted, complex entity.My further experiments with the genre of music theatre culminate in Thousand Splinters of a Human Eye (2017), where each performer metaphorically represents a living thought inside one's mind. Together, the "thoughts" form one intricate system in action. Carefully designed improvisatory situations in the piece invite curiosity and humor into play resulting in surprising interactions between the characters on stage. For the scores of both pieces, I developed a method of layered scores where each page consists of two or more layers (each combination is scanned separately). When read together, the pages reflect the multi-dimensionality and simultaneity of sonic situations.The piece Silenced (2019) manifests a stylistic and conceptual turn of my compositional path, focusing on extending the sound world from within the sound itself - drilling a well of sound in pursuit of unfolding its utmost corners and amplifying its tiniest details with the means of analog electronics. This self-contained electronic eco-system enables the resonant space inside the timpani to speak for itself in the form of emerging voice - feedback, inviting for a more intimate interaction between the performers and the instrument, as well as between the performers themselves.A Cow in the Backyard (2020) originates from the sound of a found object (a garbage truck) and explores the transformation of the mundane into art through granular synthesis, instrumental writing, and stop-motion animation. The electronic tape serves as a bridge between the ensemble and the visuals. Its emancipated rhythmical layer responds to the inherent rhythm of frames in the animation and mutates into motives over time. It plays the leading role in the musical part of the piece and brings what usually stays implicit and hidden to the foreground.Following up on Silenced, my large-scale work for six electric guitars, Asymptotic Freedom (2020 - 2021), delves further into the possibilities of a monochrome ensemble. In this piece, I aim to expand the vibrating space within the instrument outward and create space through sound by composing sonic reflections from one guitar to another. At any given moment, the geography of Asymptotic Freedom permits the coexistence of macro- and micro-sound spaces, and local sonic events. Furthermore, I largely diversify and expand the possibilities of the feedback palette, which plays a significant role in enhancing the spatial awareness of a listener.The composition X is Where I Am (2021) explores an intimate expression of Self - a female voice - through its many parts in the ensemble and is centered around the theme of displacement and home. A moving agent in a concert space (the voice) is transmitted via transducers inside a prepared piano on stage. The separation between the vocalist and a slightly distorted resonance of her voice naturally sets the trajectory for the unfolding. The ensemble dispersed in the hall acts as a resonant body for the voice, gradually transforming the sound space throughout the piece. The motivic language of X is Where I Am, roots in Russian folklore and alludes to the genre of Russian lament, which is explored further in my piece Whispering to the Stars.The research on intimate expression continues further in my work Whispering to the Stars (2022). Following a gradual emergence of translucent melodic motives, the piece enters obscure corners of the originating sound field. Eventually, the three voices erupt as a choir, filtered through the vessels of the brass instruments, completing the range of emotion in the lament. The spatial quality inherent to this piece significantly advanced during its adaptation to the Wave Synthesis System in 2023.Forget Me Not (2022), the last piece in my portfolio, follows the evolution of a melodic line into a fabric of interlacing strands. The interaction between the amplified piano voice, altered via guitar pedals, and a saxophone creates a subpersonality of the latter, sonically affected by the pedals - this is a particular example of the creation's internal complexity that reflects its ever-changing multifaceted nature. Similarly, all instruments in the ensemble permeate each other and share the gravitational pull forming a palpable layered substance curled into a vortex of sound space.

■520    ▼aThis  portfolio  combines  a  selection  of  musical  works  I  created  between  2017  and  2022.  In  many  ways,  each  of  the  eight  selected  pieces,  no  matter  how  sonically,  conceptually,  or  stylistically  different  from  each  other,  intertwines  with  the  ideas  of  the  Internal  Family  Systems  psychological  model  (IFS),  where  the  mind  is  naturally  seen  as  subdivided  into  an  indeterminate  number  of  subpersonalities  or  parts  that  develop  a  complex  system  of  interactions  among  themselves.  This  philosophy  has  become  crucial  to  my  daily  practice  over  the  last  seven  years,  deeply  affecting  my  creative  process  and  conception  of  individual  sounds  and  their  sound  worlds.  Most  importantly,  it  has  profoundly  changed  the  way  I  listen.My  earlier  piece  Cositas  Diminutas  (2017),  encapsulates  my  fascination  with  the  thingness  of  found  objects  and  explores  how  they  shape  a  performer's  behavior  in  a  musical  context  of  a  prepared  piano.  The  narrative  in  this  piece  builds  around  the  theatre  of  objects  inside  a  piano,  where  each  object  is  seen  as  an  extension  of  the  instrument  and  the  pianist  (a  puppeteer)  and  represents  a  part  of  their  multifaceted,  complex  entity.My  further  experiments  with  the  genre  of  music  theatre  culminate  in  Thousand  Splinters  of  a  Human  Eye  (2017),  where  each  performer  metaphorically  represents  a  living  thought  inside  one's  mind.  Together,  the  "thoughts"  form  one  intricate  system  in  action.  Carefully  designed  improvisatory  situations  in  the  piece  invite  curiosity  and  humor  into  play  resulting  in  surprising  interactions  between  the  characters  on  stage.  For  the  scores  of  both  pieces,  I  developed  a  method  of  layered  scores  where  each  page  consists  of  two  or  more  layers  (each  combination  is  scanned  separately).  When  read  together,  the  pages  reflect  the  multi-dimensionality  and  simultaneity  of  sonic  situations.The  piece  Silenced  (2019)  manifests  a  stylistic  and  conceptual  turn  of  my  compositional  path,  focusing  on  extending  the  sound  world  from  within  the  sound  itself  -  drilling  a  well  of  sound  in  pursuit  of  unfolding  its  utmost  corners  and  amplifying  its  tiniest  details  with  the  means  of  analog  electronics.  This  self-contained  electronic  eco-system  enables  the  resonant  space  inside  the  timpani  to  speak  for  itself  in  the  form  of  emerging  voice  -  feedback,  inviting  for  a  more  intimate  interaction  between  the  performers  and  the  instrument,  as  well  as  between  the  performers  themselves.A  Cow  in  the  Backyard  (2020)  originates  from  the  sound  of  a  found  object  (a  garbage  truck)  and  explores  the  transformation  of  the  mundane  into  art  through  granular  synthesis,  instrumental  writing,  and  stop-motion  animation.  The  electronic  tape  serves  as  a  bridge  between  the  ensemble  and  the  visuals.  Its  emancipated  rhythmical  layer  responds  to  the  inherent  rhythm  of  frames  in  the  animation  and  mutates  into  motives  over  time.  It  plays  the  leading  role  in  the  musical  part  of  the  piece  and  brings  what  usually  stays  implicit  and  hidden  to  the  foreground.Following  up  on  Silenced,  my  large-scale  work  for  six  electric  guitars,  Asymptotic  Freedom  (2020  -  2021),  delves  further  into  the  possibilities  of  a  monochrome  ensemble.  In  this  piece,  I  aim  to  expand  the  vibrating  space  within  the  instrument  outward  and  create  space  through  sound  by  composing  sonic  reflections  from  one  guitar  to  another.  At  any  given  moment,  the  geography  of  Asymptotic  Freedom  permits  the  coexistence  of  macro-  and  micro-sound  spaces,  and  local  sonic  events.  Furthermore,  I  largely  diversify  and  expand  the  possibilities  of  the  feedback  palette,  which  plays  a  significant  role  in  enhancing  the  spatial  awareness  of  a  listener.The  composition  X  is  Where  I  Am  (2021)  explores  an  intimate  expression  of  Self  -  a  female  voice  -  through  its  many  parts  in  the  ensemble  and  is  centered  around  the  theme  of  displacement  and  home.  A  moving  agent  in  a  concert  space  (the  voice)  is  transmitted  via  transducers  inside  a  prepared  piano  on  stage.  The  separation  between  the  vocalist  and  a  slightly  distorted  resonance  of  her  voice  naturally  sets  the  trajectory  for  the  unfolding.  The  ensemble  dispersed  in  the  hall  acts  as  a  resonant  body  for  the  voice,  gradually  transforming  the  sound  space  throughout  the  piece.  The  motivic  language  of  X  is  Where  I  Am,  roots  in  Russian  folklore  and  alludes  to  the  genre  of  Russian  lament,  which  is  explored  further  in  my  piece  Whispering  to  the  Stars.The  research  on  intimate  expression  continues  further  in  my  work  Whispering  to  the  Stars  (2022).  Following  a  gradual  emergence  of  translucent  melodic  motives,  the  piece  enters  obscure  corners  of  the  originating  sound  field.  Eventually,  the  three  voices  erupt  as  a  choir,  filtered  through  the  vessels  of  the  brass  instruments,  completing  the  range  of  emotion  in  the  lament.  The  spatial  quality  inherent  to  this  piece  significantly  advanced  during  its  adaptation  to  the  Wave  Synthesis  System  in  2023.Forget  Me  Not  (2022),  the  last  piece  in  my  portfolio,  follows  the  evolution  of  a  melodic  line  into  a  fabric  of  interlacing  strands.  The  interaction  between  the  amplified  piano  voice,  altered  via  guitar  pedals,  and  a  saxophone  creates  a  subpersonality  of  the  latter,  sonically  affected  by  the  pedals  -  this  is  a  particular  example  of  the  creation's  internal  complexity  that  reflects  its  ever-changing  multifaceted  nature.  Similarly,  all  instruments  in  the  ensemble  permeate  each  other  and  share  the  gravitational  pull  forming  a  palpable  layered  substance  curled  into  a  vortex  of  sound  space.
