Konstanty Usenko

was born in 1977 and has been connected to the Jelonki residential district in Warsaw ever since. He plays the cello. His post-punk and industrial tastes were shaped by the sounds of sirens coming from the nearby factory, which woke him every day at 6am while he slept in his 12th floor flat. Today, he wanders between Berlin, Warsaw, and the republics with large ethnic minorities in Volga Federal District. He published a book about counterculture in Russia 100 years after the revolution.
