From the misty edges of memory and melody emerges Sergey Khomenko — a composer whose music feels like it has lived many lives. Born in Ukraine and now residing in Italy, Sergey is no stranger to the emotional crossroads of cultures. His music, heard in TV series across Ukraine, Latvia, and Kazakhstan between 2020 and 2024, carries with it a quiet eloquence that’s deeply cinematic and profoundly human.
In “Ukrainian Kolyskova,” Sergey offers a masterclass in emotional subtlety. This piano-led instrumental whispers rather than shouts, gently unfolding like a lullaby remembered from childhood but reimagined through the lens of a seasoned composer. The track is anchored by soft and tender, deliberate piano lines that create a space of stillness and reflection. There’s no rush here, no flourish for flourish’s sake; instead, Sergey allows each note the dignity of its full breath. This is restraint at its most powerful.
The production is crystalline and intimate, drawing you in as if sitting beside the piano bench. There are no distractions; just pure, heartfelt performance. Every aspect of this track was shaped with intention. Even in its simplicity, “Ukrainian Kolyskova” feels like it holds the weight of stories unsaid, of lullabies once sung, and of a homeland always remembered.
Sergey Khomenko has won my heart with this one. His art isn’t just composed — it’s lived, breathed, and generously given. If you’ve never heard his name before, now’s the time. Welcome him in — not just to your playlist, but to the quiet corners of your soul.
