Mykola Lebed

Mykola Lebed (born 1992) is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on music and sound. Drawing on a classical training as a pianist and saxophonist, he works at the intersection of acoustic and electronic music, bringing together minimalism, improvisation, free jazz, ambient, and field recording. His artistic practice is shaped by an open, exploratory engagement with material, place, and situation; it evolves from experiences across diverse musical scenes as well as from an ongoing engagement with migration, memory, and cultural displacement. Lebed’s work has been presented, among other venues, in Berlin, Hamburg, Magdeburg, Lviv, Dnipro, and Ivano-Frankivsk; he has also composed music for theatre, film, and video works. In his live performances, fragile sound spaces emerge that make audible what lies between presence and loss, between language and silence.
