Bio

Imagine:

Loud sounds of stormy sea waves, blowing the stones on the beach...
Breathing fresh air after spending several hours in a crowded subway train...
Sleepy morning in a beautiful suburb with churches, alleys, and occasionally appearing dogs smiling to you...
Tragic feelings of a Jew, observing XX Century Jerusalem...
A small forgotten kitten meowing in the night...
The eyes of a man who hates you only because your face and name are not typical in his community...
A scientist, who thinks of the most exciting problem which nobody else can even understand...
You suddenly can see the aura and read the minds of people and animals...
You opened a door to a magic garden with beautiful flowers, birds and fairies...
You can hear myriads of stars, sparkling in the night sky, and they are playing your piano, not you...

As a pianist-improviser from the age of zero, I am always affected by such feelings. Being left-handed, which entails the prevalence of feelings and intuition over all kinds of logic, I am trying and admiring the unexpected sounds rather than play an already composed music. A music form eventually appears as the result of improvisation, depending on the patterns I was able to discover and develop at the moment. My 45-min August Symphony has appeared after simplifying a single 1.5 hour-long improvisation.

During all my life I am successfully composing music in combination with a scientific work (I am PhD in Computer Science). Furthermore, the brightest ideas from science usually lead to the brightest emotions which affect the music.
