This music has a story. Once upon a time I fell it love with a melodic metal band called Eidos (St. Petersburg, Russia), and at that time they were looking for a piano player. So to attract some attention I composed this cover to one of their songs "Die Apart", and they invited me to their rehearsal. However, whether because of my pure piano skills or because they could not recognise genius when they saw one, they never accepted my to their band :)
Nowadays, the band is long gone, but my cover is here to your attention.
If you recognised the melody of the last part, you've probably understood the joke which this cover is all about)

Die Apart (Eidos Symphonic Cover)

My orchestral cover of a song written by a Russian power metal band "Catharsis". I liked the song from the very first notes, and always wanted to make something like a cover. When the band announced that they would make an orchestral version, I took it as a challenge ) However, I never expected that working on this track would be so educational and I would discover so many harmonic ideas there, nonetheless add something to them. 

Острова Во Сне (Catharsis Symphonic Cover)

The gates were locked behind them, and the only path now lied forward, through the dark labyrinth of Knossos caves. The ancient forsaken dungeon where so many left their lives, where the hungry lurking shadow was ready to devour the lost unfortunates who had abandoned the hope. But this time, there was the one who had not.

This song is the part of the metal opera "Dawn of Hellas", yet unreleased. Subscribe to not to miss the other parts!

Into The Dark Caves Of Knossos (epic symphonic metal)

In 1827 Alexander Pushkin sent a letter to his Decembrist fellows  imprisoned at hard labour in Siberia:

0:33
Deep in mines, let naught
Subdue your proud and patient spirit.
Toil and lofty thought
Shall not be wasted - do not fear it.
Hope - Misfortune's friend -
From sombre dungeon pain will banish;
'Twill come to an end
Joy will awake and sorrow vanish.

1:18
Locks will burst - rejoice! -
And love and friendship 'thought delusion
As the Freedom's voice,
Will reach you in your grim seclusion
Walls will crash. Content,
Will prison fall, will grant you freedom
And your brothers then
Will present you your sword and kingdom

Later Alexander Odoevsky secretly sent his reply:

2:03
Poet, do not doubt
We're proud of our fate and our chains
In our hearts we laugh
A spark - we know - will kindle new flames
Chains will turn to swords
We'll light again the flame of freedom
Men will rise once more
Will fall the kings, will fall their kingdoms!

To Siberia (symphonic metal)

And Hero Stepped Forward (epic battle music)

Elan (Epic Orchestral Nightwish Cover)

Classical music medley in rock / metal style, featuring best pieces of such classical composers as Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and few others. Basically I tried to make "best of classical music in two minutes" mix ;)
Orchestration and arrangements by Deatharmony.

Divine Counterpoint (Classical music mashup)

Narratio Prima (neoclassical symphonic metal)

This dark piano composition is inspired by music from Tanz der Vampires and some compositions by Peter Gundry. So the music is sort of sort of dark, vampiric etc. In addition to piano, I also used some Russian native musical instruments to add some spirit of Eastern Europe vampirism to it :)

Endless Promenade (dark piano music)

Dramatic piano instrumental music with the dark / surreal ambient, similar to my previous composition "Endless promenade". 

Surreal Sanity (dramatic dark piano music)

Shudder Before The Beautiful (Orchestral Nightwish Cover)

In this instrumental composition I tried to blend traditional Russian instruments, (balalaika, domba, bayan and others) with conventional orchestra in attempt to create somewhat epic sound keeping "native, folk" touch of the village ambiance. 

Tale Begins (russian folk instrumental orchestral music)

Symphonic metal composition with orchestral sound and dark fantasy ambience. Here I experimented with transitions from intimate mysterious orchestral moments to epic guitar riffs, and used some elvish voices to create the fairy tale atmosphere.

Fairy Tale (Dark Fantasy Orchestral Metal)

Orchestral version of our Nightwish cover in collaboration with Elmas on vocals and Amr on guitars. For the first time I could hear my orchestrations with real vocal and guitar - it is the best filling in the world!


Sleepwalker (Orchestral Nightwish Cover)

Orchestral cover of Gethsemane (yes Nightwish again!) in collaboration with amazing vocalist Elmas. This is the first composition in which I actually recorded me playing piano, so all the sloppiness that you hear must bring warm filings of human touch, enjoy it! :)

Gethsemane (Orchestral Nightwish Cover)

Winter Entropy (Sad Piano Music)

Empty Empathy (Dark Sad Piano Music)

Metal version of Rolling Down to Old Maui. When I first heard this shanty in Assassin's Creed Rogue, I thought that it would awesome to make a heavy version. Originally, it's a sea shanty, i.e. has no music, so it became an interesting experience as I had to write my music around the vocal. It's a bit different from my other music, so I hope you'll like it :)

Rolling Down To Old Maui (Metal Cover)

Finally finished an instrumental piano piace, whose melody I've been playing for a while. This misic has some notes of joy and happiness as well as some cold and dramatic moments, hence the title. This time, I tried to explore more the ochestral arrangements and experiment with the embience. I hope it will bring some joy to you too :)

Happy Indifference (Joyful piano instrumental)

Symphonic cover of Darkness of Eternity - the song from Amberian Dawn's new album - featuring amazing vocalist Elmas!
In this cover we tried to create some mystical / magical ambiance with some unusual instruments and make a clip with some kind of dark story. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did :)

Darkness Of Eternity (Amberian Dawn cover)

In this piano composition I tried to work on my arrangements and atmosphere of French soirées, so forgive my linear harmonies this time.

Lonely Lyon (Dark Piano Instrumental Music)

Нюркина Песня(Янка Дягилева кавер)

My new piano composition in which I tried to experiment with tempo and signature as well as some key changes.

Substantial Sympathy

Substantial Sympathy (Sad piano music)
