Alfred Momotenko-Levitsky

Alfred Momotenko-Levitsky (Russian: Альфред Момотенко-Левицкий; born 7 August 1970), also known as Fred Momotenko or just Momotenko, is a Russian and Dutch composer, percussionist, and sound engineer. Born to a musical family, he pursued studies in music in his native Soviet Union, where his experiences with vocal music and audio recording were important to his later development. An invitation to play in the Netherlands led him to settle there permanently. Initially composing electronic and multimedia works, a commission that led him to discover Alfred Schnittke's Choir Concerto eventually resulted in his later works being increasingly influenced by Znamenny and Byzantine chant.
