Anton Batagov

The style of Batagov's post-minimalist compositions is rooted in the harmonic and rhythmic patterns of Russian church bells and folk songs seamlessly mixed with the spirit of Buddhist philosophy and the dynamic pulse of early Soviet avant-garde.

Batagov is the author of several movie soundtracks, and original music for major Russian TV channels.

His repertoire includes works by Bach, Pachelbel, Purcell and early English music, Mozart, Schubert, Debussy, as well as many other composers, and his numerous piano compositions.

Anton Batagov's compositions have been performed and recorded by outstanding Russian classical and rock musicians and orchestras.

The philosophy of Batagov's projects eliminates any boundaries between "performance" and "composition" by viewing all existing musical practices—from ancient rituals to rock and pop culture and advanced computer technologies—as inseparable elements of his practice.
