Welcome to the creative blog for slavic epic music.

This genre encompasses heroic and fantasy music, conveying ancient high adventures and epic folk tales (bylinas).
All music is perfomed by the composer and multi-talanted musician Kirill Bogomilov, who plays the unique 25-stringed Gusli (an old Slavic instrument) as an accompaniment to enrich the expression sounds of Balcan flutes. 

The Gusli is a wooden instrument with ancient roots, similar to the slavic psaltery (kantele) which have been played amongst the oldest Slavic civilizations and neighboring cultures for hundreds and hundreds of years. 

This instrument is also linked to the old Slavonic national art of rune & folk tale singing - both accompanying rune singing and featuring as a significant motif of such runes. This genre is deeply rooted to the epic & medieval national music of the legendary heroes Sadko (the romantic-bard from Novgorod, a mighty national hero) and Boyan (the wandering guslar-minstrel). 

These music immerse you in the spirit and echoes of ancient Myths and Legends, which combine different cultures of the ancient worlds of old-Slavic and European civilizations. 

The project “Kanteleon” is recognised for its unique distinctive sound as well as for its innovative explorations in to new music styles for different genres: World, New Age, Epic, Medieval, Celtic, Folk, Scandinavian and Nordic. This music will lift your spirits and calm you! It can accompany you, whilst you work, study or simply relax.

We hope our music will bring peace and joy to the world!
