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.
