GET TO KNOW KOLESNIKOV/TSOY DUO

NATIONALITY:

Russian, resident in London

MEDIA APPLAUSE:

“... electrifying intimacy…”

— The Guardian


Where do you find inspiration to create music?

Samson (ST): In music itself, but also in life. 

Pavel (PK): In art. Seeing or hearing a really great, original work boosts my energy. But also mediocre art can make me feel depleted.


Which field outside of music most influences your creative process (art, design, architecture, fashion, film)?

PK: Everything. The exact mix is impossible to determine, and it depends on the particular pieces I happen to be working on. But always – drawing and painting, they inform everything I do. 

ST: Human creativity in all its forms has a huge impact on my work. I try to keep my eyes and ears open to different perspectives and ideas, which often find their way into my music-making


Can you describe a routine that helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle outside of music?

ST: Gym is a key part of my routine. I love HYROX classes, they are very challenging, keeping me strong and focused.

PK: There is an assumption in the question! I try to walk as much as possible and jog...even though I hate jogging.


What energizes you to keep creating and moving forward?

PK: Fear of boredom. Creation is the best possible way to entertain oneself – and occasionally, others.

ST: A good cup of coffee!
