Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Beautiful strumental music that makes reflect,think,dream...Thank you for you comment about our "measuring desert".A see you know V.Galaktionov,i(Lena)was in the same classroom whis him in the music college in Moscow.Anyway,we like very much your music.

I decided to tap into my latent '80s Depeche Mode subconscious, and this bouncy tune popped out! Ian Beardsley heard an earlier version of this and immediately detected Spanish flamenco hidden in the techno dance chords. I opened up the stage…

Great mix of music and ray tracing. I like the sun setting on the horizon.
My studio door is open and the wind is blowing......my wind chimes are chiming.
Very nice music.

about your comment to my romance for orchestra: yes, I agree... how much I need a real orchestra!!! I really thank you, you know? I was thinking on doing that piece over again :) thanks again

what an interesting and amazing project, the music really takes you into this surreal dream, the combination images and music was absolutly perfect, congratz Edward you always bring fine works to us.

While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…

This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…

Background music for a fun father/daughter YouTube video editing collaboration/experiment (embedded here.) My daughter and I filmed and edited the movie, and I wrote the music after hearing some video-game music my daughter wanted me to emulate…
Fun, I like how this sidesteps the normal trancy stuff with its own flair and wild percussion. And the violin is an awesome addition, I could have had a lot more of your playing in this :-)
I am singing/vocalizing audio to accompany short scenes in a film made by an artist friend of mine. She calls it "Pattern Pattern". This segment goes with a snowy scene where shadows move in and out like wolves.
I like your description of the scene, and the movie sounds intriguing. Nice chilly dissonance there with the echoed half-step down. I Also noticed that I'm commenting on a bit from many months ago... so inquiring minds want to know, how is the movie coming along? I know these can become huge projects. From what I've heard here, I'd love to see what you come up with, if possible.
Intriguing, love the ascending motif where you play guitar along with the synth bells, very dreamy sequences. I'm not sure I like the breathy hiss that comes and goes in some spots (side-effect of guitar effects, or separate synth?) but the rest of this is great.
Very good... all you have to do is couple 3/4 time with a catchy melody on bells, and it will be an instant hit... I don't know why that is. :-) Very nicely done. If you decide to rework this, I would choose a different synth voice for the chorus, it was a bit frenetic. Maybe stick with orchestral samples, a flute maybe? Very enjoyable piece.
Hilariously weird and fun... I've never EVER wanted to put hot vodka on anything, but this almost makes me want to try, in a weird twisted way. Except I'd probably wake up with my head sounding like this :-)
I enjoy your music, there is always a strong wonderful Russian feel to the melodies, but you experiment with other sounds too. This piece opened, and began to have a Spanish flair. Then it dropped into a fast dance that was great fun. Nice! I should upload my "Mexican waltz" next, with a Russian jazz trumpeter (Vladimir Galaktionov) playing along.
This is a segment that's going into my piece "The Interview: When Words Fail". It's created entirely from a one second sample of a nervous swallow followed by a mouth click extracted from an interview. Overtones were manipulated to create the…
Delightful bit of technical wizardry here... as well as a good sense of build-up and rhythm. Knowing that all this was from a single second sample makes it even more impressive, but still a fun listen on its own.
Intriguing. I thought the intro was a little weird with the fast-panned piano, but the main driving section was awesome... reminded me a bit of old Galbatron.
Turquoise is for memory to you about me.
Turquoise is as my eyes,
you will see heaven in them,
you will sink in them for ever...
This song is about love, about leaving.
Recording from live concert
Wow, very nicely written pop music, and indeed a great voice you have. I love the language (Russian?) and the occasional Middle-Eastern feel in the music.
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
Nothing like a great cup of fresh-ground coffee... but then, there's nothing quite like this bit of warmth sparkling off your fingertips... gorgeous little bit of music, wonderfully played.
I wanted to start composing in the "classical" or "romantic" style for piano. This is the first movement of a sonata fantasia, its a sonata because it has three movements, but a fantasia because it doesnt have the exact structure of a sonata.

YOU'VE GOT GIRLS
i told you once
i told you twice
you'd have to go
if you couldn't play nice
so tell me
have you been good
let's chat
i told you before
i made it clear
you keep on actin that way…
Yay, glad to see the incomparable A&M (and the unusual suspects) here too! Always love your singing and harmonies. Mr. FunkyMonk did a great job with the music (sounds like a real sax?) Fun lyrics, unfortunately reminds me of my old best friend from high school (uh, long ago), who left a trail of girls I had to console.
Comments on drakonis's stuff
mmm, beautiful, what an imaginative composition. playful, mystical and fun.
This could suit to these beautiful fairy tales like Corpse Bride. Fantastic arrangement and magical melodies !
BRAVO! w;-)
Very Nice Track, It Sparks My Imagination. Beautiful Composition.
Beautiful strumental music that makes reflect,think,dream...Thank you for you comment about our "measuring desert".A see you know V.Galaktionov,i(Lena)was in the same classroom whis him in the music college in Moscow.Anyway,we like very much your music.
great again!!!
My little ladies love your music and video.

Oh wow, it's a fairytale.
what an interesting and amazing project, the music really takes you into this surreal dream, the combination images and music was absolutly perfect, congratz Edward you always bring fine works to us.
Magical indeed!!
Spooky wind chimes! :-) Predictably gorgeous, magical sounds from Drakonis.
Another one that I had missed the video for. Very interesting and the music is lovely!
Hadn't seen the video before- great stuff and the guitar was a nice addition!
going from minor to major tones.. that was perfect
The more I hear it, the more I like it... great work
Love the use of the voice. I use a text to speech engine and then edit within melodyne - gives realistic results.
Great stuff.
Each time I hear this, I hear something I had missed previously.

Great Russian classical piano intro, and rich soulful singing, nice orchestral-pop backing.
Definitely not rock, your guitar just Rolls along here... well played and fun to listen to.
Enjoyed the music, great performance by the band, your nice singing, and the YouTube video too!
Intriguing. I thought the intro was a little weird with the fast-panned piano, but the main driving section was awesome... reminded me a bit of old Galbatron.
The music suggests a bit of disorientation... perhaps go with that, and add non-sequiter soliloquy, half-haiku, or dramatic darkwave twisted lyrics.
fun bubbly synth bed, and very nice flute melody soaring over this.
Wow, very nicely written pop music, and indeed a great voice you have. I love the language (Russian?) and the occasional Middle-Eastern feel in the music.
intriguing music, and the way the lyrics flow so nicely and are sung, reminds me a bit of Supertramp. Great guitar & drum work on this.
What if Mike Oldfield did Darkwave... it might sound like this. The wild-panned backward drum solo in the middle tickled my ears, nice stuff!
Cool ideas here, nice sequencing and use of sounds as rhythm. Does have a dreamy quality.
Nothing like a great cup of fresh-ground coffee... but then, there's nothing quite like this bit of warmth sparkling off your fingertips... gorgeous little bit of music, wonderfully played.
enjoyable composition, lots of surprises at every turn.
