 Max Ananyev is a guitarist and composer. “I like the atmosphere of detachment and thoughtfulness. The main thing for me is the atmosphere and depth. I write music that does not scream, does not roar about itself, but creates a filter for perceiving reality. Unlike traditional guitar performance, most of my pieces have an unpredictable variable tempo and dynamic range. That’s the main idea of my music. All the processes taking place in nature and even in our daily lives are very varied and unpredictable. The wind does not blow with the same force; the branches of the trees do not move at the same pace; the lightning does not strike at the same place. The movement of time is not predictable, and no one can vouch for what will happen in the next moment.”
