Gleb Kolyadin

Gleb Kolyadin is a Russian pianist and composer whose intricate blend of classical virtuosity and modern progressive rock has carved out a unique space in contemporary music. Best known as one-half of the acclaimed chamber prog duo iamthemorning, Kolyadin’s solo work expands on his signature style—think cascading piano melodies colliding with lush, cinematic arrangements. His self-titled 2018 debut solo album and its expanded edition showcased collaborations with prog legends like Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) and Nick Beggs (Steven Wilson Band), cementing his reputation as a forward-thinking musician.

Recent releases like *Dawnlight*, *Glimmer*, and *The Outland* continue to highlight Kolyadin’s knack for storytelling through instrumental textures, weaving jazz fusion and neoclassical touches into richly layered soundscapes. Whether through intimate solo piano pieces (*Water Movements*) or dynamic ensemble work (*Storyteller*), his music feels both introspective and wildly adventurous. While he stays rooted in his classical training, Kolyadin’s genre-blurring experiments keep listeners guessing—and coming back for more.
