Now he lives in Oryol, Russia.
The city of Oryol in Russia can be compared with Nashville in the United States.
It is often called the spiritual capital of Russia.
Here were born and performed a lot of world-famous writers such as Turgenev, Leskov, Fet, Bunin (Nobel award) and some Russian composers.
Album "Where the Rainbow Grows..." is a background music album.
It was written in 1999-2000.
It includes the compositions of different styles and trends such as new age, funk, art-rock etc.
It was created specially for relaxation and can be useful as a background music in the car or at the party.
Album's title and design drives a listener to the romantic and maybe unreal world where the rainbow begins at the same place where a man grew up and started to learn the world.
In this case it is a reflection of the author's inner world, different impressions the author got during his travels when he first of all thought about his native land and examined all he saw in the light of Russian orthodox perception.
There are acoustic sounds that prevail in the album.
Saxophones, flutes, violins, harmonics where actively us when recording this album.
Also you can feel the influence of the Russian folk musical culture.
A lot of people will find there music in the album and I think will be satisfied with what they listened to.
