Starting with drawing Russian ornaments on graph paper, Ilya Novikov gradually developed his own understanding of sacred geometry. One of the results of this work, captured in ash wood carving, can be seen on the cover. In parallel, he explored the world of electronic music and studied the North Indian tradition of playing the bansuri flute, while simultaneously mastering wind instruments from Japanese, Turkish, and other traditions. This research and training continue today, manifesting in music production, flute crafting, and healing meditation concerts. In his works, Ilya seeks a fine balance between calm, healing atmospheres and the unrestrained energy of drums, where the ultimate measure is the beauty of the final result.
