rough translation of russian bio:
Behind the pseudonym Ajoura hides an experimentalist composer from Russia. He writes simple instrumental music, playing all instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Disagreements with the idea of copyright and the author's individuality led him to little fame, but he continues to work for his few listeners.
Ajoura started out in 2008 posting music online for his friends. The first full-length album, Ordo Halosus Contemplatio, he composed in 2012, and then it was a mockery of the elitism of the dark scene.
Over time, the composer began to improvise more, releasing his second album on New Year's Eve 2013 - Secure, Contain, Protect. This album was more experimental and was dedicated to the secret fantasy organization The SCP Foundation.
Only after the release of the third album, the composer began to use more and more acoustic instruments, bringing his style to a mixture of everything he had dealt with before - from keyboard classics to dark ambient and minimalism.
Since then, on the albums you can hear many different instruments, both folk and classical: acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, melody, violin, Irish bouzouki and others; all this is mixed with synthesizers and pre-prepared sounds, giving rise to a kind of mixture. Experimenting within the style, Ajoura wants to both bring innovative ideas to the music, and not turn it into something that can only be understood by a narrow circle of connoisseurs.
