Kussenkov Egor

Not a harsh musician multi-instrumentalist and “man - his own orchestra” from Chelyabinsk. My main genres are alternative ethno, world, ambient, folk, live-looping. I play music of states, which I defined by creative concept as “Inside and Outside”. Inside - immersive, meditative compositions. This is music about the personal, inner and intimate, about light sadness and melancholy. Outside - dance compositions, energizing and driving, but at the same time not lacking melody. Sitar, didgeridoo, pimac, 12-string guitar, wargan, kalimba, synthesizer, sampler and some beatbox. All these instruments combined with live-looping form whole and complete musical pictures that you can immerse yourself or dance to. There is something special in it, which allows you to open new facets of your soul or just go wild on the dance floor under the magic sounds of ethnic instruments. Ambient, Ethno. “Space” Kussenkov Egor, WiMuDi. Melodic ethno ambient album, representing an organic fusion of Indian pimak and electronic ambient. Two artists who combined their inner worlds into a single musical canvas created a special artwork filled with a variety of emotions - from joy and happiness, to sadness and melancholy. Pimac sounds in almost every composition, creating a harmonious interaction with electronic ambient landscapes, which give the music a special color and volume. Ambient, Meditation. Kussenkov Egor “Eternal Sunshine” Content Chaos. “Meditative mini album in ambient genre, which is a harmonious interweaving of live instruments and electronic synthesizers. The lamplight timbres of the guitar, the slowed down rhythm of the synths will envelope you in a cozy warmth where time stops. The sound of khang and kalimba will plunge you into a state of buoyancy and weightlessness. Eternal Sunshine is a good reason to think and reflect on the eternal, to be inspired or just to meditate”
