ilya karpushkin - walks

Free improvisations for guitar within jazz idioms freed from the tenacious claws of a pulsating rhythm and harmonic standarts. These are home meditations for jazz guitar in the spirit of an evening jam for one person. The recordings concentrate the sensations of a solitary journey through surreal wastelands, where under a geometrical sun melts not only asphalt , but musical structure itself. A road movie for a lone guitarist in the throes of an existential crisis, seeking mental footing in the relaxed, searching melodies of a guitar capable of both reflection and lament.

The recordings were made in 2026 by guitarist and songwriter Ilya Karpushkin.
