Hello Stein. What strengths do you have that you believe make you a great musician?

My imagination.

Who inspired you to make music?

Pink Floyd, Santana, Genesis, and Opeth.

Your latest release is 'The Lost Horse'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?

The Lost Horse was my first surf album. I usually make progressive rock. My first album was Stein, The Magister, and another progrock album was Telegraph, Mir.

The work on my last release was done indoors during COVID, and it actually saved me from losing my mind...

Can you shortly describe each of the tracks that are on the album?

Every track is a "scene" from an imagined western film.

How do you stay up-to-date with the latest musical trends?

I don't. It really does not intrigue me.

What do you feel is the best song that you have ever released and why?

From this album, it's "thr dry tree". It felt very intense and paranoid, like a scene from "No Country for Old Men."

Why do you want to record and release your own music?

Is there any other way to create music? If it is not recorded, it does not exist.

Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans.

Facebook, Messenger, or email.

What advice would you have for someone wanting to follow in your footsteps?

Don't! Haha

What are your plans for the future?

Another complete album, of course.
