progressive jazz collective
Paraskeva
December 2021 – Current

In December 2021, together with composer and guitarist Alexey Bronnikov, I co-founded the prog-fusion collective Paraskeva. In our music, the band blends prog- and post-rock, electronic music, and jazz-fusion. The collective is currently active — working on studio material and regularly performing at well-known venues in the capital and beyond.


In the collective, my primary role is that of producer and composer (alongside, of course, performing) — I come up with ideas, arrange, edit, and handle post-production processes for most of the band’s compositions, and also oversee the recording process during studio sessions when needed.


Paraskeva released their debut work in the summer of 2022 — a full-length album titled "Spiritual Ecology," which received very positive reviews from critics and listeners alike. In 2023, the collective continued actively creating, this time exploring their love for electronic music, which resulted in the May EP "Future Imperfect," followed by the EP "Burning Scapes" in 2024. The band’s releases have been featured on the covers of editorial playlists on VK Music and Yandex Music, and regularly appear in reviews in Jazzist magazine.

Chesterton wrote: "Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest. But what does he do if there is no forest? He plants a forest to hide the leaf." And Paraskeva is planting a forest. It is full of things you can point at and say: I’ve heard this somewhere before. There grows the electronics from a Soviet cartoon about the secret of the third planet, and the unorthodox saxophone of Dick Parry from the massive shows of Pink Floyd, and the Swiss band Plaistow (who also liked to name their compositions after metro stations), and whatever else doesn’t grow. But somewhere among all this lies a leaf that is absolutely valuable in its own right, unique, and in the best sense — modest, simple, and perfect.
