I am a singer-songwriter, who also does game and film scoring. I have previously worked as an arranger, my forte is work with small chamber ensembles. Have scored Balakirev's Russian Folk Tunes for orchestra (orchestrated from piano sheet score). I am open for any type of collaboration.
I can compose using both real instruments and sampled ones (the first one would require me to hire musicians and a studio space). I believe that collaborative work is the key to originality and generally is a more enjoyable process. I am Russia-Moscow based.

Interview with Fedor Voronov
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I have orchestrated a book of folk tunes collected by Milliy Balakirev, it did not matter to me that it was I who was making it, I just wanted to create beautiful content, and that is true to its core, I wish I could have done more to that project, but the budget puts its limitations

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
