Ruslan Bozhok
Composer · sound engineer · producer
Different fields, one mastery: shifting how a person feels. It grew on two grounds — in sound (a composer and ASCAP member) and in language (the Ericksonian approach, NLP, years of private practice). Today it all converges in one pursuit.

The musician Synth Dimension · instrumental electronica
Ruslan has worked with sound professionally for over twenty-five years. His own studio since seventeen; his project Synth Dimension — seven releases on labels across Britain and Europe, published and protected to the letter of the law. Here sound is not a hobby but a profession, with a name and papers behind it.
Classic ’80s electronic sound, made in a modern studio on the latest gear and exclusive vintage hardware; influences — Space, Modern Talking, Laserdance, italo-disco. “Melody and harmony over rhythm.” The debut album, Dreams of Electronic Mind, was written in 2006, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 2009, and released in full in 2013; beyond it, Synth Dimension tracks appear on spacesynth compilations:

Baikal · the source Baikal Mystic, 2006 · recordings of nature’s sacred places
The idea behind all of Ruslan’s work with sound was born not in a studio but at Lake Baikal. In the summer of 2005 he travelled these shores himself; in 2006, living by the lake, he launched the “Energetic Audio from Baikal” project — not music, but field recordings of the places themselves: the wind over Olkhon, the water, the silence of the sacred rocks. It was then that the thought which guides him to this day first took shape — that sound can hold and carry the energy of a place.
Shamanka Rock on Olkhon is one of Asia’s most revered places of power — a living trace of a shamanic cult. That early idea — sound holds the energy of a place — became the direct ancestor of the provenance approach in his work today: sound assembled from a real place and sky.
“…The energy of Baikal is possible to imprint and render exactly through the sound.” — baikalmystic.com, 2006
What stands behind this
Different fields — sound and language — add up, in one person, to a single thing: creating genuine experience.
Years at the mixing desk and behind the synths, membership of ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), musical works registered with the U.S. Library of Congress, training in the Ericksonian approach and NLP, a counselling practice, field recordings of Baikal’s unique places and of genuine ancient shamanic rites in their natural setting — these are not résumé lines but one continuous line the length of a life.
“In an age when everyone is trying to make something out of almost nothing, value shifts toward real lived experience, built on solid ground.” — Ruslan Bozhok
Everything on this page has been preparation. What Ruslan is building now is where the two lines finally meet — a single instrument in which sound is shaped by the way perception actually works. It isn’t public yet.
