Yegor Zabelov is a very unique Belarusian accordion player. Zabelov devotes his work to exploring the possibilities of the instrument in which he specializes, often reaching its limits. In his hands, the accordion becomes a tool for creating mystical experiences, and performances take the form of a musical ritual.
"Seine Musik ist ein Beweis für die Kraft der Imagination. Zuvor hätte niemand gedacht, dass es möglich ist, Aphex Twin-Sounds auf einem Akkordeon zu erzeugen." - Louder Than War

press:
- „This accordionist who’ll likely hold a room in complete awe, like Colin Stetson can do when he’s in full swing, conjures saturated, haunting, intense soundscapes on his instrument. The live recordings we’ve heard thus far tear up all pre-conceptions of what an accordion-led band would sound like.” - Gigwise.
- "Zabelov finds a mindmap between traditional accordion playing and post-rave, beatless soundscapes. His music is a testament to the power of the imagination. No-one would imagine that making Aphex Twin-like ambient noises on an accordion was possible." - Louder Than War
