Feygelson's creative practice embraces improvisation and collaboration, blending minimalist, folk-influenced styles with expressive contemporary techniques. He co-founded the i = u Improvisation Festival, a multidisciplinary event uniting music, theatre, dance, and visual arts, based between London and New York, and participates regularly in Finding Rhythms, a socially engaged music initiative supporting songwriting projects in UK prisons and secure mental health settings.
Academically, he holds a PhD from King’s College London, specializing in musical interaction and nonverbal communication within improvisation. He teaches creative music practice and performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire and is a visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge’s Centre for Music and Science. His research explores cognitive and social dimensions of musical collaboration, focusing on gesture, timing, and group dynamics.
Feygelson is also co-author of an Oxford University Press publication with Milton Mermikides on music and shape in improvisation, reflecting his commitment to blending scholarship and practice.
In May 2025, he collaborated with movement researcher Emma Fisher on their project Water Monitor, exploring the intersection of sound and movement. This collaboration was featured in a performance that highlighted the dynamic relationship between auditory and physical expression.
In June 2025, he participated in the Re:Sound residency at Emerge Lakefront in Sköndal, Sweden. This immersive event brought together musicians, builders, and sound explorers to repurpose instruments and materials, culminating in a unique concert experience that redefined the future of resonance.
Feygelson has also regularly participated in the Resonances series at the Centre Culturel in Paris, performing alongside pianist Kenzo Zurzolo. This series focused on the exploration of sound and resonance, providing a platform for innovative musical expressions and collaborations, with respect to Pauline Olivieros’ Deep Listening and Quantum Listening practices.
In October 2025, Feygelson launches Echos with eco-lobbyist Jordan Allouche, in Paris, an event focusing on shedding light on the environmental legislation being discussed in Brussels, Paris and Washington, D.C. The event will feature resonant harmonic music that will allow community to listen and embody the soul of the legal word, something we rarely have time to directly engage in unless it is our professional engagement. Echos will also extend to other sociocultural causes, such as AI ethics and human rights.

Alternative Classical: London
London's vibrant contemporary classical scene boasts a complex range of global textures. Here, you'll discover composers like Anna Meredith, whose pieces throb with percussive elements borrowed from glitch, electronic music, and club scenes. And you'll find out what Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood sounds like when working with Israeli and Indian classical musicians.
Listen here
Alternative Classical: New York
The “alt” in this movement doesn't just indicate the contributions of indie-rock talents like The National's Bryce Dessner; it also suggests an alternative to classical-music factionalism. Members of this scene gleefully combine lessons learned from early American minimalism with influences that include the European repertoire and the progressive edge of contemporary pop.
Listen here
Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky
Given that this composer pushed orchestral vituosity to new heights with fiercely complex compositions such as The Rite of Spring, it makes sense that his own recordings have a singular energy. Stravinsky had a talent for making sure each layer of an extravagantly orchestrated piece had its moment to shine, an attribute that makes his conducting unmistable for fance of his powerful aesthetic.

Baltic Contemporary Classical
Arvo Pärt is the most famous member of this regional contemporary classical scene, but his profound sacred works aren't the only inspired music you'll encounter here. In this playlist, compositions that indulge in spellbinding chromatic vocal polyphony mix with pieces that, variously, feature big band-style stomp, Romantic-influenced orchestration, and experimental electronic timbres.
Deleted - dunno why...
European Kindness & Goat’s Cheese
Classic and fulfilling love filled 70s and 80s non-English language funky chunes - with some modern correlates and classics that just fit the bill.
