michael gray - the weekend (sped up)

On November 18 of 2020, Vladivostok was hit by a Blizzard. I was studying that day. I had the plan to record a video podcast with my tutor at the time, Dmitry Morozov (vtol). The studio was set up and people were waiting for us. The producer called and said there is no electricity, and we can't make it today. So I decided to go home. The weather was brutal. The road usually takes me 10 minutes take almost half an hour. I was constantly falling. I was wet, cold, and bruised from falling on the ice. The wind was insane. 
When I was home, I was shaking from adrenaline and was grateful I survived. The next morning I woke up from crackling noises. I open up the shades and I saw massive branches fall from the trees one by one. The ice on the branches was too heavy. Every piece of grass becomes an ice obelisk. As terrifying the experience was, as beautiful as it looks after it was over.

Cuartero - Only One

This is another rare concert record of Sofia Rotaru’s performing Love Blooms Just Once (Тільки раз цвіте любов), written by Ukrainian composer Volodymir Ivasyuk in 1973, which has become a national hit in Soviet Ukraine and across the USSR in 1975, after Rotaru’s stellar performance in the musical film “Song will stay with us”. In 1977, the song was included into Rotaru’s highly acclaimed LP “Sofia Rotaru sings Volodymir Ivasyuk’s Songs”. This live version was aired on Ukrainian radio in 1975 and was recorded on tape in mono quality. Audio was polished and reverbed with Logic Pro.
