Yegor Zabelov is a unique and distinctive Belarusian accordion explorer, currently based in Poland.
On stage, Zabelov pushes the accordion far beyond tradition — creating hypnotic soundscapes, pulsating drones, and moments of raw silence that feel almost sacred. His concerts are not just listened to, but experienced — somewhere between minimalism, ambient trance, and the energy of avant-garde improvisation.
Yegor has performed at leading European festivals such as Eurosonic ESNS (NL), Europavox (FR), Les Nuits Botanique (BE), Rudolstadt festival (DE), Moers festival (DE), Pop-Kultur (DE), Vienna Accordion festival (AT), MENT (SI), Tallinn Music Week (EST), Elevate Festival (AT) etc..
This year, he has been selected to perform at WOMEX—the world’s largest conference and showcase for global music—which will take place in Finland.
Press:
„This accordionist who’ll likely hold a room in complete awe, like Colin Stetson can do when he’s in full swing, conjures saturated, haunting, intense soundscapes on his instrument. The live recordings we’ve heard thus far tear up all pre-conceptions of what an accordion-led band would sound like.” - Gigwise
"Zabelov finds a mindmap between traditional accordion playing and post-rave, beatless soundscapes. His music is a testament to the power of the imagination. No-one would imagine that making Aphex Twin-like ambient noises on an accordion was possible." - Louder Than War

Tickets: 15 euro online / 20 euro doors
------------------------
Yegor Zabelov ist ein äußerst einzigartiger belarusischer Akkordeonspieler. Zabelov widmet seine Arbeit der Erforschung der Möglichkeiten des Instruments, auf das er sich spezialisiert hat, und stößt dabei oft an dessen Grenzen. In seinen Händen wird das Akkordeon zum Werkzeug mystischer Erlebnisse und seine Auftritte zu einem musikalischen Ritual.
Seine Musik ist eine experimentelle Mischung aus Akkordeon-Ambient, Avantgarde-Jazz und Neoklassik.
In den letzten Jahren hat sich Zabelov auf seine Solokarriere konzentriert. Er ist ein regelmäßiger Gast auf europäischen Festivals. In diesem Jahr wurde er ausgewählt, bei der WOMEX – der weltweit größten Konferenz und Plattform für globale Musik – aufzutreten, die in Finnland stattfindet.
Einige der Highlights sind das Eurosonic ESNS (NL), Europavox (FR), Les Nuits Botanique (BE), Rudolstadt festival (DE), Moers festival (DE), Pop-Kultur (DE), Vienna Accordion festival (AT), MENT (SI), Tallinn Music Week (EST), Elevate Festival (AT) ...

Presse:
"Seine Musik ist ein Beweis für die Kraft der Imagination. Zuvor hätte niemand gedacht, dass es möglich ist, Aphex Twin-Sounds auf einem Akkordeon zu erzeugen." - Louder Than War
"Dieser Akkordeonist zaubert satte, eindringliche, intensive Klanglandschaften aus seinem Instrument. Was wir live von ihm gehört haben, hat alle Vorurteile darüber, wie eine Akkordeon-geführte Band klingen würde, zunichte gemacht." - Gigwise

Eintritt: 15 Euro Online / 20 Euro Abendkasse

Ягор Забелаў, унікальны Беларускі музыка, кампазітар, аккардыяніст. Забелаў вядомы сваім незвычайным падыходам да выканання на акардэоне.Ён прысвячае сваю працу вывучэнню магчымасцей інструмента, часта дасягаючы яго межаў. У яго руках акардэон становіцца інструментам для стварэння містычных перажыванняў, а выступленні набываюць форму музычнага рытуалу.
Яго музыка - эксперыментальны сплаў акардыённага эмбіента, авангарднага джаза і неа-класікі.
На працягу апошніх некалькіх гадоў Забелаў засяродзіўся на сваёй сольнай кар'еры. Музыка з'яўляецца частым госцем еўрапейскіх фестываляў.
Вось некаторыя з іх: Eurosonic ESNS (NL), Europavox (FR), Les Nuits Botanique (BE), Rudolstadt festival (DE), Moers festival (DE), Pop-Kultur (DE), Vienna Accordion festival (AT), MENT (SI), Tallinn Music Week (EST), Elevate Festival (AT) ...
Прэса:
«Ягор Забелаў-акардэаніст, які, верагодна, будзе трымаць канцэртную залу ў поўным захапленні, як Колін Стэтсан можа гэта зрабіць, калі ён на хвалі. Музыка стварае насычаныя, захапляльныя, інтэнсіўныя гукавыя пейзажы на сваім інструменце. Жывыя выступы, якія мы чулі дагэтуль, знішчаюць любыя стэрэатыпы адносна таго, як будзе гучаць акардэон.” - Gigwise
