VALENTINE PARKHOMENKO
COMPOSER/SOUND DESIGNER
Short Bio
Hi! I was born in Kiev on the 3rd of June, 1995. At the age of 6 I began studying at the M.V.Lysenko Secondary School for the Advanced Study of Music in Kiev. I graduated from the theatre department of the High College of Arts, V.P.Andreev studio.
In 2012 I returned to music, learning to compose and experimenting with different genres. I joined the Flying Cafe for Semianimals studio in 2014, where I joined initially as a sound designer and then a year later composed the soundtrack for the computer game Cradle.
During work, I like to use the principle of “use ordinary things in unusual situations for them and vice versa.”
Sometimes, quite unexpectedly, this leads to really cool results.
