Yegor Zabelov

With Yegor Zabelov, the accordion gains a new voice. The Belarus-born musician living in Poland unleashes sound worlds on his instrument that hover between minimal music, ambient trance, and avant-garde improvisation. Zabelov takes the accordion far beyond its traditional boundaries. He creates music that is as physical as it is introspective – with rhythmic structures reminiscent of electronic beats and meditative soundscapes that evoke thoughts of Aphex Twin or Colin Stetson. "A testament to the power of imagination," writes Louder Than War – and indeed, his concerts are less performances than experiences: immersive, focused, and quietly powerful. Zabelov has already been featured at festivals such as Womex, Moers, Rudolstadt, and Europavox – and now transforms the Sargfabrik into a resonance space for sound, movement, and silence.
