I am an emigrant. With the beginning of the war in 2022, my family and I left Russia and it is not yet clear what awaits us next. At the same time, I have not completely closed my relationship with my homeland, with the country where I lived for almost 36 years.
It is strange, but it was at this age, young, that my father died and my life began with the same number in my passport. And what was left there, abroad? And how to perceive it now. Who am I, where am I from, what did I overlook and what did I take with me. It seems that it was just a dream and now only images and rhythms remain in my head. Cities, countries, childhood.
This entire album is a tribute to nostalgia and an attempt to comprehend the past.
In the place where I was born. In the place where I was burned.
