Runes. This piano cycle is the most important work for me at the moment. Ironically, this might sound amusing coming from someone who has graduated from a conservatory and has written numerous major symphonic and theatrical works. Initially, I wrote them as gifts for dear people for the New Year. The Runes for me are a magical creation, crafting them has helped me to see the world a little through the eyes of the people for whom I wrote. I cannot fully describe the technique of composing the runes right now - it's a bit mystical and not entirely understandable to me personally. Initially, I encoded the name of the person to whom the rune is dedicated in the pitch, and in the rhythm - their characteristics they would like to enhance or acquire. Then, I started working on the resulting draft like a sculptor creating a sculpture from a block of marble. But my hammer was not reason, it was intuition. I didn't follow musical logic; I followed the feeling - where I feel resonance and where I don't. And I understand that these runes have gone far beyond the original idea. Although they work, they not only change people - they change our surrounding world, and they change me. For the sake of clarity in perception, I won't name the runes here. I'll simply number them in the video using Roman numerals. In total, I want to write 4 cycles of runes. The first one - is in front of you. I will write the last rune to myself. I - “00:00“ II - “02:07“ III - “03:44“ IV - “05:30“ V - “07:11“ VI - “08:32“ VII - “10:12“
