Andy
Nechaevsky

Andy is an artist, an luthier, and musician from Ukraine who designs his own kalimbas and plays them. The style of the music is quite unique, it can be attributed to impressionism and avant-folk, but sometimes it shows a noticeable influence of modern creative jazz of the seventies. "This meditative exploration of place, memory, and sound, perfect for fans of ambient, experimental, and acoustic music." "His echoing, mesmerising compositions are quietly meditative in their prayer-like sonic mantras – but they possess something close to claustrophobia too; as if the melodies splintering from these beautifully handcrafted instruments are not fully free, trapped in some way within those shimmering, hypnotic repetitions. The darkening world in which these sounds were shaped offers a glimpse as to the conflicting emotions this music needed to capture; a need for hope, for peace, for beauty, but one trapped in the darkness of Lviv’s spiralling night. " "Nechaevsky’s kalimbas—each one a unique instrument—guide the listener through a dreamlike journey that feels both intimate and cinematic."
