He was born at 1980 in Charkow (East Ukraine). Since 1996 he has been playing in a couple of rock and metal bands. In 2000 he came to Germany and started making electronic music, whilst he was also playing in the electronic punk-band Skrinshot from Hamburg, and working at 20359records.\n\nKirill has experimented a lot with different music styles, untill he finally found his own authentic sound. The music is a gentle mix of ambient, electronic music and post-rock with long meditative compositions with smooth guitar sounds and electronic beats. Kirill creates and produces his music by using only virtual synths and clean electric guitar sounds, combining these to get a relaxing, multi-layered, sometimes drone and slow flowing sound.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/snowsleep.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/snowsleep/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "snowsleep-songsofcold", "name" : "Songs of Cold", "artist" : { "name" : "Snowsleep", "page" : "snowsleep" }, "release_date" : "2021-04-02", "genres" : ["Ambient","Instrumental New Age","Instrumental Electronica","Instrumental Ambient"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["calm","meditative","dreamy","mysterious","melancholic","reflective"], "uses" : ["podcast background","meditation or yoga","spa or massage","study or focus","emotional storytelling","nature documentary"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["synths","electronic textures","downtempo beats","ambient layers","classical electronic elements"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "Smooth, dark-tinged ambient electronic music blending downtempo, techno, and classical electronic elements;
