Welcome back (Fourth Reactor Theme) - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 OST
MUSIC COMPOSER & SOUND PRODUCER
With over a decade in the music industry, my journey began on major stages as a solo vocalist and finalist on top-tier television shows, including The Voice (Ukraine) and The X-Factor, as well as lead vocalist for Dancing with the Stars.
Later, I transitioned into television music production and songwriting. Alongside this practical experience, I hold a Ph.D. from the Pyotr Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine. Operating through my own music production studio, I combine a strong academic foundation with analog synthesis and custom sound design to craft immersive sonic worlds for AAA interactive media and screen projects—always treating music not as background atmosphere, but as a core narrative character capable of driving a story forward.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a next-generation AAA open-world survival shooter set inside the hazardous Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Renowned for its atmosphere, high narrative drama, and tactical gameplay, it stands as one of the most iconic global franchises in gaming.
Over multiple years, I engaged in crafting the auditory identity of this world — composing original scores for cinematic narrative cutscenes, immersive location ambient, dynamic interactive combat encounters, and official promotional trailers.
Scoring cutscenes in AAA game development is fundamentally identical to feature film scoring. It involves direct synchronization with camera staging, live motion-capture (MoCap) performances, actor voice dynamics, and linear narrative drama.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl • Original Score by Andrew Luchanko
History of Crimean Tatars is a flagship 7-part documentary TV series produced for Suspilne National Public Broadcasting. The project chronicles the tragic May 18, 1944 deportation of over 190,000 Indigenous Crimean Tatars by the Soviet regime, decades of struggle in exile, and the triumphant return to their ancestral homeland.
To match the deep historical memory and emotional gravity of eyewitness testimonies, I crafted a score uniting rare authentic Crimean Tatar ethnic instruments with expansive orchestral depth and modern hybrid soundscapes.
The music serves as a living bridge between historical trauma and cultural revival. By recording traditional Crimean Tatar melodies and pairing them with tragic, soaring orchestral textures, the score echoes both the sorrow of exile and the resilience of a nation rebuilding its heritage.
