#livemusic 

A contemplative and intimate experience from music inspired by Kazakh steppe and the Carpatians in West Ukraine.

Bass player Rodion Sun Lion was born in the city of Tselinograd, Kazakhstan, into a family of artists. He has been playing the bass since he was 16 years old. He studied trombone and tube at a conservatory. Since 1991, he has lived in Uzhgorod. He has performed with variety of bands: jazz, ethno, rock, metal, experimental and electronic music, and published three solo albums. He has had a number of solo performances in Žilina, Slovakia, and presented various project, such as Tango Tempo and with the band Charms Kids (2018).

In March 2022, he presented at the New Synagogue in Žilina the project Music of Spheres: “Every person has music within themselves and their unique sense for music and rhythm. It doesn’t matter whether they’re musicians or not. I want to inspire people. By communicating with one another we can create something musically original. Spectators can contribute to our collaborative composition which would be based on inspiration coming from each one of them,” said Rodion Sun Lion about his project.

How does it work? You can imagine in your head anything – a memory, images, story, emotion. Rodion will then – based on your imagination – create directly on site a musical composition and play it on his bass guitar. Using a looper, he will gradually layer numerous melodies into a harmonic polyphonic whole. In the beginning you could, if need be, tap out the basic rhythm or tempo, but it is not required. We are inviting you to a one of a king intimate musical contemplation.
