How it started
Azat finished music school and kept writing songs as a hobby, alone at the piano, for years. The three early pieces on this site, Three Letters, Still Water and Zamok iz Dozhdya (Castle of Rain), date from 2010.
In 2026 he started working with Larisa, a concert pianist trained at the Gnesin Academy in Moscow. Azat brings melodies. Larisa brings the training to turn them into complete piano works. Together they wrote eight new pieces in 2026. They named the project after their initials: L and A.
