The project Alkenion was founded in 2008 as a progressive/symphonic metal music project.

My musical journey began with home experiments in creating music on a computer, resulting in my first project — i4004. Later, teaming up with friends, I became a member of the band Dark Sight, where I first tried myself as a drummer — my first musical instrument. Within this project, I played the role of both drummer and composer.

The next step was the creation of the band Fire Garden, with which we actively worked until 2011 alongside Dark Sight, creating music and performing at concerts. Alongside my involvement in these bands, I started writing music that didn't fit the band format. This led to the creation of Alkenion, a personal space for realizing creative ideas and experimenting with sound.

While working on the album Time Machine II, I began exploring new musical instruments, significantly expanding my capabilities as a composer. Alkenion remains a crucial part of my musical path, allowing me to bring to life ideas that don't fit within the framework of group work.

The project Astrovarium focuses on keyboard instruments and experimental sound.
