    QUICK COURSE

    This track is made out of a raw recording of whale sounds. Check out on-i-on.net/whalekit for details.


    This track is called "Rainy Day Renegade". Re-arranged for 56stuff.ru for a remix project which has almost happened.


    One more preview track from a folky ambient EP "Two forests". It's a collaborative work between me and Bedroom Bear called Peresheek. We are looking for a nice label to release it, rather cd/vinyl/cassette


    A simple piece of music with a quotation of J-L.Godard which perfectly describes the essence of art and music nowadays and which I really like.
