Some more by Theagony online

Today is the lucky day! I managed to upload more files online. While something went wrong with our server and it doesn't count internet traffic :)
So in the sake of music let the server go wrong for a little while, while I'm uploading my files :)
So, here's the next imporvisation by Theagony. Yeah, improvisation is our best loved thing to do at studio. This is kind of fusion, I figure. Though, I doubt how to describe this style.

Theagony - warming up at band practice, 14th, dec, 2007

The file is in OGG format, packed to ZIP.It is large - about 8Mb in size.

A vocal record is put online: Iron Lady song

I put the 'Iron Lady' song in Diamanda Galas' style (actually, that's her variant of the 'Iron Lady' song) on mediafire free hosting. The file is packed in ZIP format (I can't upload mp3 files here, alas). The file is about 3.2Mb in size, mp3 file inside the ZIP.

Iron Lady (vocal)

Theagony on Myspace.com

I have created a little page on myspace.com:

Theagony band on myspace.com

So this page will be my band's place on myspace.
I hope ppl won't have troubles with downloading my samples from there.

For a while I put there two samples that were recorded on two past band practices at studio where we play.
One is pure jam with one gutiar, bass and drums and the other is a sketch for one of our songs, recorded with full band cast: two guitars, bass and drums and I also made some mastering of this record.

Comments are allowed for everyone

hey, I allowed comments feature for anybody who visit the blog.
I hope that works but doesn't attract spam bots, though.
So you may leave your comments to the topics of my blog if you want.

Some of our jam records online

Phew! I've done with putting some of our samples online. These are raw records, made at live jam sessions at Theagony band practice. That all was recorded with primitive old Zoom 708 II gizmo, so the quality is not the topmost. Well, anyway that is a kind of proof of our utter musical madness :) Nothing of death metal, though. Totally free-style thing.

P.S. A little help for my english-speaking friends. Alas, the ifolder.ru doesn't have english interface. So I will try to explain how to download files from there. I hope this issue can help some.
After you click the link in my blog, the ifolder.ru site page appears.The first page on ifolder.ru in the lower part of the page there's a pic with numbers and an edit field to the right. That is a spam protection. The idea is to put the numbers from the picture in the box and then press the link with a small red arrow that is situated right below the edit box for numbers (the link is named Далее, that means Next).
The next ifolder.ru page contains the direct link to the file. The link looks like http://ifolder.ru/download/ and then some numbers. Clicking on that link opens file save dialog so you can save the file on your PC and then listen to it. The link is computer-specific. That means, it works only on your PC. That's why I can't put direct links here.
Alas, I can't make the downloading faster. I promise I will put my files on some english site soon.



Here're the links:


Bass jam alone (6.57Mb, ogg format)



Jam with two guitarists, acoustic-like style (1.71Mb, ogg format)



Jam with my guitarist, jazz-like style (1.57Mb, ogg format)



Mega crazy jam with my guitarist(9.69Mb, mp3 format)

A new song, the first try.

I've composed a new song. It's a way weird, I would say. Well, I like it, anyway. Can't define style. Death metal mixed with something like Diamanda Galas' songs. Jazz vocal applied to heavy tunes, my experiments. Here's the first try record - bass and vocal:
Kill Your Christ (first record) (3.60 Mb, ogg format)
And here's one remake I accidentally made playing with SoundForge delay plugins. It's funny:
Kill Your Christ (delay effect) (3.67 Mb, ogg format)
Remark: The files are in ogg format, that is better than mp3 - so I used it.
Important!!! Files are not in plain stream format. This means the server won't send the files to your PC automatically on mouse click. To download the files pick 'save file' in your browser (usually the point from a dropdown menu on right mouse click on a reference), save them somewhere on your disk, then unpack from zip and listen.

Legacy Note

after browsing through blogs about music I came to decision I have to add this note to my blog:

all of the music files found on the links to my projects here have been recorded by myself. it's my intention to support legal free downloading. the purpose of this blog is to allow people to determine which music is worth listening. the music shown here should be removed from your computer within 24 hours after downloading if you didn't like it. the music on links in this blog is intended for review purposes and should not be seen as a final variant because I may change any bass line at any time (due to my addiction to improvising) and have too little time to update that on the net.

The Beginning

well, I've just created the blog. what for? maybe it's some kind of SETI program: if there's some kind of intellect over there, in outer space.
as it's seen from my brief resume in the profile, I'm a bassist. also a programmer, mathematician by education, exactly (thus, bassists with high IQ level exist, despite of all rumors around this :]). programming is all right, but the space I'm living in is mainly death metal and all around it. again, I don't consider death metal something primitive. the thing that have been grasping my attention lately is experimental metal music, like, for instance, mixing such styles as death and jazz. it doesn't seem like loads of materials on this theme on the net. public chats and forums are crowded with weirdos that don't make much sense, in general. maybe it's foolish but I still have hope somewhere there're ppl interested in philosophy and heavy music on the net. I would like to find that rare species.
what about myself? well, I like to play my basses, two ones: Schecter Omen-5 - fretted 5-stringer and Carvin LB75PF, custom fretless. the most opinions I've heard about bass is that it's the background instrument and should go as more simple as possible. well, my point of view is a way different, also as it's different considering the music itself. as it's said in the profile, I play for progressive death metal band Theagony(it's my project, as a fact, that I tried to gather for quite long time) and also play bass for brutal death metal and grind bands. maybe this is not usual for metal player, but I always liked good jazz. so, I don't mind to play it at all. and as far as I like heavy tunes, I try to mix that styles.
I haven't had that good access to the net lately, but try to get online at least sometimes on ICQ and yahoo. so maybe the blog could help find ppl that share the same views.

I created this blog in english, for it's the international language and many ppl can speak it. but I also fluentely speak russian, for it's my native language - so there's no problem contacting me in any of these languages.

this all above is the preview for this blog.
