Gleb Kanasevich’s new solo project “We only have but a moment” delivers a highly intimate experience through its sonic purity and psychoacoustic intensity. Conjured just with extremely still clarinet playing and a six-speaker pure wave setup, the set creates a warm, secluded corner for individual reflection and existence in a “space with no walls.” It’s a seemingly subtle test of physical endurance for the performer that still flows effortlessly throughout.

Gleb Kanasevich is a clarinetist and composer based in Detroit, MI. He is an active soloist and session musician, having recently worked with indie rock bands, death metal bands, A24 films, and Netflix. He has been closely working with the Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival in New York City since 2021, frequently covering the festival’s electronic and live sound needs, concert production, and clarinet duties. He is currently the festival’s chief operating officer. As a composer he is interested in exploring expressive possibilities in very simple electronic setups, stark sonic landscapes, and extremely fine microtonality.

Most recently, he was commissioned by Ensemble Intercontemporain, Michigan State University’s Musique 21, Callithumpian Consort (Boston), and No Exit New Music Ensemble (Cleveland). His newest solo record “We Only Have But A Moment” is to be released in early 2026 on Flag Day Recordings. From 2016 until Spring, 2019, Kanasevich also worked as a curator/video maker for the online new music database and audio/video/score resource ScoreFollower/Incipitsify.
