Crap, I've just realized that I've lost vocal tracks.

The year is almost over

...and now I have a lot of time for a certain period. So tomorrow I'll start my little experiment, and I think that you'll see rhythm section with details on how I did it on tomorrow evening. As I've already said, stay tuned! )))

Crazy Frog vs Yarilo - garmoshka-core drum'n'bass mix

This one is a funny thing ))) Sometimes my friends formed a joke-band named "Yarilo" and started to perform some Russian and world-music hits in a funny way accompanied by accordeon. I've then made a remix on their performing of famous "Crazy Frog" theme (originally "Axel F" electronic theme from "Beverly Hills Cop" movie) in Propellerheads Reason. Here's what I made.



By the way, all songs of "Yarilo", including cover-version of David Guetta's "The World Is Mine" are available for free download on last.fm. Here is the link. If you just want to listen to what Yarilo is, here's David Guetta's cover:

Roxette cover

Another not finished work. In early March, 2006 I've been working on cover version of "Listen to your heart" by Roxette. I didn't even get to recording guitars for it. Here's what I've finished on.



This record doesn't contain any live instrument. Drums are from EZ Drummer, piano - Edirol Orchestral, bass is done with my favourite Fender Jazz Bass SoundFont, different synth sounds - Korg Legacy Collection.

A little experiment

Recently my friend and me decided to rewrite one of the most beautiful songs of our old band "DiZkordanT". This was some kind of indie hard-electronical band, and it wasn't very popular, as always ))) Anyway, I decided also to present parts of upcoming work in this blog. I'll rewrite everything but vocals, and will put parts of the song here for you to look at them. And now, let me introduce you the song itself.



Song is called "Morning" ("Utro" in russian). This was the last serious song our band ever released. Musical part was composed and performed by Kasyanov, and lyrics and vocal parts were performed by Salut. Song was written in 2005. I always wanted our band to be more live, less electronic, but this song doesn't fit in this rules ))) This is one of the things I'd like to correct by reinterpreting it. And Kasyanov doesn't like song's arrangement at all by now. So, we have some general ideas about how to rewrite it, and we'll try. Stay tuned.
