geographer, analyst, occasional creator
about
My name is Ilya Shevelev and mostly I'm working on geospatial software solutions for commercial companies. The biggest things I've worked on and can name are: Agisoft Cloud and Sputnik GIS.
Besides the job, I create different stuff from musical compositions to interactive visualizations and express myself in other ways. This website is mostly about those self-expressions that I cherish.
sounds
I love sounds. Be it music, people chatting, rustling foliage or the creaking snow underfoot. Sounds are like a time machine, they allow us to revisit places and to relive the sensations we were in or had once in our lives.
That's why I use a recorder more often than I use my camera, and that is how the audio postcards project was born. I invite you to visit some places I’ve once been with your ears only, don’t forget to put on your headphones.

music
For me, making music is a form of therapy. It’s my way of processing emotions and finding calm. I don’t focus on creating polished tracks—rather, I let myself explore and experiment, letting the music flow naturally.
Feel free to listen in and explore these spontaneous pieces. Put on your headphones and experience the music as it unfolds.

poetry
Writing poetry has always been a way for me to capture moments and emotions from my time at university. These poems are snapshots of my thoughts and experiences during those formative years.
Take a look and see what stands out to you. I hope these words give you a glimpse into that period and the emotions I was experiencing.
