Trisagion (variations) by Denis Sorokin

buying this album you are support the Ukraine refugees, the all money from all sales of my music on bandcamp directly goes to support the social programs of the Apostolic Ortodox Church in Saint-Petersburg, which helps with evacuation, clothes and medicine.

Track is based on the Old Russian Znamenny Chant composed by Anonymous (sometimes attributed to the name Opekalov) by the text of prayer "Trisagion". This composition performed as theme and variations forming four parts piece contains original motive, two variations and reconstructed coda where all sections goes one into another through using "ison" - fundamental tone characterized to the Byzantyne music tradition and natural tuning system.

Denis Sorokin is educated as classical and jazz guitarist. He mostly performs music of composers from Wandelweiser, and his own experimental transcriptions of medieval music. He works a lot with Taku Sugimoto, Stefan Thut, Eva-Maria Houben, Anastassis Pillippakopoulos and many other composers. He also plays free improvised music with many musicians using different instruments and electronics.
