My mother Carol died when I was a baby and this was an old reel to reel tape that was discovered in my family. The 1st time I heard her voice since I was 3 months old.  I am compelled to share this because on a very deep level this has touched my soul. Whatever anyone might think-- I think on a very deep level (even as a baby) I 'remember' this because the grief I am now experiencing is beyond words. Music that transcended straight to my soul. My "mom' singing to me. When I 1st heard her voice 2 weeks ago and now I tremble at my core..I hyper ventilate. I feel the horror of the loss at that time. Real life straight up. This knocks me to my knees with grief, love, and GRATITUDE. My mom in some way has come back to me and now lives on a cloud and in me.


Friga is a musical project of Dmitry Friga, musician, composer and sound engineer from Belarus. Author of music for three movies, more then ten theatre plays, member of techno–house project Trockensaft and KDB Records music label. 

FRIGA was created in 2008 by a musician and composer Dmitry Friga.

It is difficult to determine the musical style of the project inside one certain genre. In the first place it is based on the British rock traditions (that's why all songs are performed in English). Sometimes it is hard rock minced through electronic sounds and loops, but after a few songs music covers a listener with a wave of soft lyric melodies, taking roots in the best pieces of pop-rock of 80's-beginning of 90's. It was time, when musicians thought about their music, but not how to perform pop-rock. 

How can you express what you feel when you are walking down the street and music starts playing in your head? When you are listening to it, you feel, the style or instruments, which may help to realize it, are not important. You just listening to the music and don't want it to disappear like many other feelings that come to us and then pass away without a trace. That's how Dmitry Friga's music comes into being. It was created not for the fans of a certain genre. It is like mood pictures frozen in sound, and when you listen to it you can try on the mood of the person who composed it.

This band came together in April 09' from an ad that was put out by a drummer looking for people to start a band. Gonzales (Guitar) and Herrera (Vocals) answered and soon after brought in Ortega (Bass) and Rojas (Guitar, Keyboards). After a month it was clear that the drummer was not working out so Gonzales, Herrera and Rojas started the "Frantic Acoustic Project" while Ortega went on hiatus. After a few months of playing around town, Rojas brought in Allen (Drums) in August 09'. With the new development Ortega was back on bass and the "Frantic Acoustic Project" became simply "Frantic". Although we moved into being an electric band we still continue to keep our acoustic sense abilities. The rest of the year was spent playing out and writing songs of which the recording process began in January 10'. Now we find ourselves in December 10' still working on the CD. We are doing the project completely on our own so It's been quite a learning process and we hope to have it released in the early part of 11'. We already have enough material to start working on our second CD when we are through with the first. With all that we have learned and accomplished over the past year I predict that Frantic will be releasing two CD's within 2011 which will make next year a very rewarding one.

I create
sometimes with sinphonics
sometimes as myself
sometimes as John Nochtli Tourner
