GOOW releasing VISIONS EP
Multi-instrumentalist Goow Offers a Calm Trip That Follows Kandinsky’s Style
GOOW (Egor Efimuk), a multi-instrumentalist and sound creator, has returned with a new EP, “VISIONS,” released on March 14, 2025. This electronic work uses an unusual way to make music. Inspired by Kandinsky, GOOW does not produce music from paintings; he makes pictures with sound. The EP consists of three instrumental pieces, each meant to bring out a clear emotion, which you can experiment with by pressing play in the audio box below.
The first piece “You Finally Go Out for a Walk on a Warm and Sunny Spring Day,” sets a calm mood with Rhodes piano and African drums. As the music goes on, the initial calm gradually changes with more harsh sounds.
“You Notice Something Strange and Watch Until You Realise That You’re Standing on the Verge of a Fascinating Discovery” shifts from a soft piano sound to a strong burst of post-rock and ambient-rock guitars. This piece uses piano sounds played loudly, clear synth parts, live guitars plus drums.
The last piece “You Look into the Sky. Nothing Makes Sense, but You Don’t Care Anymore,” is a sad, rough drone with simple tunes hidden under many layers using granular synthesis for change and live-played kalimba for one tune.

Using Experiment and Free Play
GOOW gives his tracks long, clear names to help the listener see the picture he wants them to imagine. “VISIONS” was made after a lot of trial with sound, with most parts recorded live on a MIDI keyboard or real instruments. GOOW allowed freedom and live performance to show true feeling and truth in each piece. This method shows in the clear changes and many layers in the EP.
As a music professional team from PopHits.Co, we liked GOOW’s way to form clear soundscapes. The EP shows his skill as a sound creator and his new way to shape experimental electronic music.
Egor Efimuk, born in Udmurtia, Russia, has worked in music for 13 years. This release is his fourth official project, after his rock project Ærgjo and previous GOOW projects including the single “Stories” and the two-track EP “Luminescent” in 2023. With “VISIONS,” GOOW keeps his promise to make music that does not stick to one style.
Like artists Brian Eno or Aphex Twin, GOOW makes detailed sound patterns that are both clear and calm. His music calls for careful listening while also serving a simple backdrop for everyday life.
“I always wanted to create music that would reward careful listening with full attention. At the same time, it should serve as a good backdrop for daily tasks, to set the mood for work or reading in the evening,” says GOOW. “I think I have reached that goal with this release.”
