Oleg Kaskiv was born in Kremenetz, Ukraine, in 1978. He studied firstly at the Krushelnytska Special music school and then at the Lysenko Conservatory in Lviv (Ukraine). During this period he won a number of prizes, including International Dvarionas Competition (Lithuania), International Kotorovych Competition (Ukraine).

Launching his Mozart debut recorded with the Czech Philharmonic and Jiří Bělohlávek (Supraphon 2017), Jan Bartoš drew to himself a lot of critical attention on an international scale. Those who reviewed the album especially appreciated his rare ability to combine thorough understanding both of the musical architecture and the deep emotionality of the works (a quality possessed also by the pianist’s tutors Ivan Moravec and Alfred Brendel).

You can’t fight evolution. Luna Kiss have been revelling in a constant state of creative change for the last seven years. But it is only in 2017 that the Coventry quartet’s extraordinary, amorphous vision has truly come into sharp focus. Six years on from the release of their acclaimed debut album Echoes Of Sound, Luna Kiss are poised to return with a new collection of songs, Following Shadows. As hinted at on 2014’s Conjure & Sin EP and last year’s Gravity EP, the quintet have blossomed into something enthralling and unique, powered by inspiration and an unwavering lust for creativity. After doggedly honing their live performances while allowing their music to grow and mutate at its own perfect pace, Luna Kiss are now ready to begin an exhilarating new chapter.

All five projects to come from Kanye West’s summer 2018 creative spurt have appeared to be equal collaborations between West and his G.O.O.D. Music colleagues, but that balance manifests itself most clearly on Harlem singer Teyana Taylor’s K.T.S.E.. The project—eight songs, one more than its four predecessors—owes as much to Taylor’s airy melodies as it does to Kanye’s studied production ear; the producer utilises vocal samples as choruses, as bookends to her verses and as the backbone of beats. For her part, Taylor is the embodiment of the formidable, around-the-way-girl persona fans have adored since her debut in the late aughts. Addressing a one-time elephant in the room on “A Rose In Harlem”, Taylor sings, “N*ggas like, ‘You aint hot, you ain’t pop/Yet, sup with you and Ye?’” And in K.T.S.E., they have their answer.

Beyond every generation and genre, guests got together without being solely because it is Soil!
In this work, six of the 14 songs are produced by welcoming guest artists. RodWIMPS Noda Yoshiroro who greeted him as a feature vocalist in the theme song "Tsumuri Mizumi" of the TBS drama "Yume Makase", and EGO-WRAPPIN 'deeply friends from the front and Michi Miura participated. In addition, Azuchi, Shun Ikegai (yahyel) & Kiala Ogawa (Kodama), Nao Kawamura and other candidates of the Cenozoic Newcomers are appointed. An album that embodies the 2018 type soil in which hip hop, electro, and R & B intersect with jazz as the basis.

« J'ai souhaité réunir 3 expressions du piano chez Mozart, mon compositeur de prédilection depuis mon plus jeune âge, avec une partition pour piano seul, deux oeuvres de musique de chambre pour piano et vents et un concerto pour piano dans une version pour piano et quintette à cordes. Pour servir ces chefs-d'oeuvre, mon choix s'est porté sur les musiciens les plus talentueux et dont l'esthétique mozartienne est la plus proche de la mienne » Aurèle Marth
