The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra – ICON
If life is a bio-cinematic experience, let the soundtrack be excellent. ICON encapsulates work undertaken during one of the coldest winters in recent history. The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra barricaded themselves in their south studio in Rock Island, Illinois, and produced the works that only cabin fever can produce. Their north studio in Davenport, Iowa, was the site of the mixing and engineering. Fueled by warm camaraderie, banana liqueur, and the transcendent spirits of a deep winter, the Orchestra produced its first full-length album.
Kinoslava. Cinema glory.

Behind the release
Kinoslav Studio Orchestra ↗
The Kinoslav Studio Orchestra is a trio of musicians who create soundtracks – soundtracks for the bio-cinematic experience of living in the modern age. The themes are timeless, and yet the music goes to places yet unexplored. Combining the best of organic and electronic instruments, their palette provides a wide spectrum of sounds, centering in the somewhat darker regions of the ambient genre.
Sergei Czerewko was born in Australia of Ukrainian and Belorussian extraction, and has trained on violin and mandolin since his tender youth. When not dreaming of budgies and tending to his tomato patch, he delves deeply into the dark and progressive ambient genre.
Thomas Wakeland is a native of Rock Island, Illinois, and has devoted his life to the the pursuit of musical excellence. An accomplished bassist, he tempers his musical drive with hard work and devotion to family and recreational pursuits.
Tom Janikowski plays guitar and keyboard and stands in the flames before the altar.
