Maria Grigoryeva

I'm a composer and violinist passionate about creating and performing music in different styles. Every day I search for a new sound, combining various instruments, rhythms, styles. I discover combinations I’d never imagined just days before. Inspiration comes from everywhere, but especially from the people surrounding me. Sometimes your client suggests some really weird combination like techno, orchestral cinematic phrases and chords. You have no idea how to put it together and you think it not gonna work. Then you go home, experiment and after a few hours something magical appears. Composing opens up the limits of your fantasy. Music intuition leads you. An important part of collaboration is to take other people's ideas seriously and to think how you can contribute to the project. That's the key to success being a media composer or a part of a band or ensemble. I really enjoy doing that as the results are always unexpected. If you are creative it doesn't matter what you're working with. You'll always be able to adopt it to your style or adopt yourself to the required style. Just never say NO without trying.
