Have plans to extend this with a solo guitar section .

Rumbling And Tumbling (ft. Harmonica Jack)

:-)Guess what is my favorite movie?

@harmonicajack - harmonicas
Igor  - whistling!!! Composition, all the music, all the rest instruments, mix and production
Lee Lucas - @lee-lucas - idea to apply harmonica here

I invented the main riff and the chord progression in 1997.

The main idea is a duel between 2 guitars using 2 famous fuzz pedals: DoD FX32 Classic Fuzz (the best fuzz pedal ever) and Ibanez L.A. Metal (which also a fuzz and the worst fuzz ever according to HarmonyCentral.com reviews). As you can see L.A.Metal is not so bad :-)

The second idea is to demonstrate how banjo nicely lays over fuzzed guitar. That part was recorded a year ago and it seems this idea is becoming a trend on SC.

When the song https://soundcloud.com/project-managers-trio/fuzzy-logic-version-2 was released, too many good materials with Wild West flavor which really excite me: banjo, whistling and "surf"-like guitars were edited out.

So I remembered Lee's idea about harmonica and asked Jack for help. The key of C#m is not very convenient scale for a harp and Jack did a astonishing job nicely fitting to Spaghetti Western feel of the composition.


Fuzzy Logic: Wild West instrumental(with harmonica, banjo, whistling). Ft. Harmonica Jack

Heidi-Marie Arapa - https://soundcloud.com/heidi-marie-arapa - accordion, dobro chords and slide, and composition of respective parts
Igor M. -  original composition, all the rest instruments, overall mix , production and whistling ;-)

this thing unexpectedly has become an "on-demand" open collaboration project. 

Despite there already a whole bunch of instruments, Frau Heidi-Marie managed to put there 2 more and their parts fit perfectly well and she did it in 1 or 2 hours. For comparison, the whole song was evolving gradually for 15 years.

I would say that dobro chords in intro and coda ideally reflect that experiments Morricone did with a choir long time ago in the movie soundtracks.

I did my best to put this new material into my mix, so many similar sounding instruments will be distinguishable.

Previously released versions of this theme featuring vocals or harmonica:

So, thanks a lot to Heidi-Marie for this fantastic additions allowing to release a 3rd version. Please also visit her post of this song and comment her work on accordion and dobro there https://soundcloud.com/tosanetworkworldwide/fuzzy-logic-wild-west-2-ft-frau-heidi-marie-on-accordion-dobro


Fuzzy Logic, Wild West version 2(ft. frau Heidi-Marie - accordion and slide dobro)

Gave a try to open collaboartion invite https://soundcloud.com/megsmusicjourney/strings-improvisation-open-collab-invite

Original track by Megan McCarthy - strings
Guitar part by Igor M. - (no edit)
A bit of mixing/mastering by Igor M.

Many thanks to Megan for this wonderful lovely music.

For some reason I thought that I had to improvise too, so after one or two runs along the original track I recorded it. 

Hope I'm not much out of original tune, but at least it has culmination  :-)

And probably I will made another, "mature" take.

Here is a playlist of all the participants in this open collaboration:

I haven't listened to them before I made my record.

Fallen tears of μετάνοια (Strings Improvisation by Megan McCarthy, guitar improvisation by Igor M.)

This track has been possible thanks to the help of artists from USA/Russia/Germany/France on the base of a simple base track with leading ideas of giving tribute to French authors/composers Maxime Leforestier and Claude Nougaro's wonderful melodies (see links herebelow) supporting awareness on important issues at their time ...and nowadays still it seems .... Further melodic routes were found by all through musical interactions ... 
I feel I owe so much recognition to these great artists who understood my first musical ideas ...and pushed them to a height I would never had imagined :)

@kat330 for her singing (I love her idea of evoking native americans incantations)
@joerxworx whose sax is so soulful and who plays so well with other instruments (clarinet in particular which he understands and plays very well ;-)
@project-managers-trio : (Igor) for his amazing satrianesque/pagesque guitar solos 
@jules-keys-1 : for his amazing duduk play (armenian oboe)
https://soundcloud.com/johnbodi : for fantastic classic/jazzy colors added with the piano
Wonderful graphic image from : JT Lindroos


I'm the one behind all this, I play all other real (including rythmic guitar and my brother's old trumpet ! ..) or vst instruments ..; I  have been so happy to mix everyone's inputs

Born Somewhere (Né quelque part)- feat Kathleen, Igor, Jörg, John &  Julien

Megan McCarthy https://soundcloud.com/megsmusicjourney - original piano improvisation "Sadness" (Open Collaboration) == Thank you, Megan, for this wonderful melody!

Igor - orchestration, guitars, production, enhancing the piano sound.

In memory of 224 passengers and the crew of Metrojet Flight 9268 heading from Sharm el-Sheikh to Saint Petersburg and disintegrated by a bomb above the northern Sinai on 31 October 2015. Also in memory of recent Paris events and all the victims of recent "hybrid" wars.

I believe there is an evil power at work in the world deliberately overthrowing stable countries one after another and turning them into bloody chaos. And that chaos spreads over borders further and further. Lives of millions of people means nothing to those who make such schemes.

For a year and a half I have this feeling deep inside. On the surface I can smile, can live normal life, but I feel it. There is no hope for peace. Only grief.

Grief.There is no hope for peace. (Contemplation over Megan McCarthy's piano piece)

I originally wrote & produced this song for a songwriting class and it's earned a spot as one of my favorites. This song was also rearranged and sung by my university's jazz ensemble. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/fnYTJ2BTDBw !

Come Hell Or High Water - Faerie

Vocals & lyrics by @dinamn7
Music & mix by @guiville

Will I ever be me
As I'm constantly
Running
Running away
Till I reach the sun
Every step I think I'm there, I am free
But I'm lost, stranded at sea
Who am I?
Who are you?
Who are we?
Will I ever find me?
I never stop being,
I'm not one, but eternal rays of color
Euphoric as I run, each day a new way
Till I finally reach the sun
Will I ever find me?
Till I finally reach the sun

Two Hearts feat. Dinamn

There’s a place right off the corner. 
Where they sing old lullabies. 
They sing for us to dream at night.
And so I dreamt of somewhere 
cause we’ve got nowhere now.
But I could show you how…you’ll see.

I’ll meet you somewhere on the outside.
I’ll find you waiting on the outside.
This winter we’re falling like snow
and then darling, we’ll melt like in summertime.
Out there, somewhere on the outside.

I could hear their voices ringing.
Shadows danced away.
Once I saw, I knew I couldn’t stay.
And so I ran into the streets
Looking out to see
If there’s something more for me to be…

So I’ll meet you somewhere on the outside.
I’ll find you waiting on the outside.
This winter we’re falling like snow
and then darling, we’ll melt like in summertime.
Out there, somewhere on the outside.

Outside Feat. Faerie - Guiville - Heidi-Marie Arapa Mix

BRAND NEW: My first release for more than a half year. It's another powerful part of the successful theme "Pulse Of Steel" - about 3,5 years after composing Part II and about 20(!) years after Part I (meanwhile you can find Part I on my debut CD "Neverending", too). Again it's a very rhythmic and melodic track (after a gloomy intro). So: Let's go and enjoy! :)
