Music

Here is a small collection of my musical works.

About me

Here is a little more about me. I was born on July 16, 1987, in Leningrad. Besides editing, music, and design, I am also a healthy pastry chef — making sugar-free desserts. However, desk work takes up so much time that I currently bake only for myself and loved ones :)

Theater Experience

Lighting & Sound Technician

Worked for 1.5 years as a lighting and sound technician with theater and film actor Albert Makarov in a one-man show based on Edward Radzinsky's play:

"The Last Night of the Last Tsar"

Watch on YouTube

The video is of questionable quality, but as they say, you get what you get. I didn't shoot it.

Children's Theater Actor

I also have two years of experience working as an actor in a children's theater. A brief highlight of my stage work:

Pardon the detour, but I couldn't resist including this snippet, this short film is delightful :)) In reality, it was incredibly fun and exciting — usually, in the 3 weeks leading up to New Year, we had 7-8 performances a day.
