MUSICA: When you begin a cinematic composition, what usually comes first: an emotion, a visual scene or a musical theme?
Sergey Rybytskyy: Most often, it begins with an emotion. I may have a feeling I want to express—a quiet sadness, a sense of wonder, a distant memory or the feeling of standing before something much larger than myself. From there, a melody, image or atmosphere usually appears.
Sometimes I imagine a scene first, but I rarely know the entire story in advance. I prefer to follow the music and allow it to show me where it wants to go.
MUSICA: Your influences range from J. S. Bach to Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone. Which aspect of their work has most shaped your own musical voice?
Sergey Rybytskyy: I think what connects these composers for me is their ability to make music feel inevitable and deeply expressive. Bach showed me the beauty of polyphony where several independent musical voices move together, while Herrmann taught me how harmony, repetition and orchestral colour can create psychological, mysterious tension. Morricone showed me that a simple melody, when chosen and placed harmonically perfectly, can stay in the memory for a lifetime.
My journey began at the Dnipro Music College in Ukraine, where I developed a strong foundation in classical music. I was also fortunate to take private lessons with the renowned composer Volodymyr Skuratovsky, and those lessons greatly expanded my musical thinking and repertoire.
MUSICA: What new music or creative projects can listeners expect from you in the coming weeks?
Sergey Rybytskyy: Currently, I release 2 singles per month. I am continuing to work on new cinematic, Medieval Gregorian chants, dark ambient, and modern classical pieces, with some electronic and darker atmospheric elements as well. I am especially interested in creating music that feels spacious and emotional, but still contains enough detail to reward close listening.
I do not want to make music that is interesting only for the first minute. I would like each piece to reveal something new when people return to it—a hidden harmonic turn, an inner melody or a change in atmosphere.
