Ksenia graduated as a pianist; got her training in avant-garde jazz, early music, and, most recently, organ classes.

Her composition style is elaborate yet clear. Unlike most singers-pianists who use their instrument as a mere accompanist, Ksenia makes the piano an equal participant of a story.

In her writing and composition, Ksenia gets rid of all excessive notes and words. That’s quite a process relating on both time, erudition, and capability of weaving different threads together. Her music resembles that of minimalists and romantics, while her lyrics have a close connection to the Russian poetry of the middle of the 20th century - minimalistic either, seeing its goal in clear expression rather than artsy attributes.

While her piano can attack and rumble, her mouth gives voice to a vulnerable human being. The two are some trouble and release for those listening.

What we hear is a few very dense compositions that require the audience to be rather spiritual and engaged - like any ritual does, should we truly want to benefit of ourselves being present.
