Feen the Music

I'm told I think outside of the box. It's hard to think why I'd be inside one in the first place.  A FREE DOWNLOAD of some of my tracks:

My music and production style can sound unique, unconventional and surprising, all for good reasons and intentions. Thanks to all who have listened, liked, reposted and/or commented throughout the years . I always notice and respond.

The attempt is to create a music which combines the modern structure of soundtrack with a rock rhythmic, an industrial approach, and a little use of synths and keyboards. Inspired by Neu!, Velvet Underground, Throbbing Gristle, Slint, Karlheinz Stockhausen and modern soundtracks.

Always interested in searching and reposting good music here on SC.

Art painter, poetry author, self-taught musician with almost no style limits.
Music is structured time, thank you heartfelt much for sharing it with me!

Composing music for enjoyment for over 26 years. Please enjoy the harmonic transitions, beats, and flows. All music is experimental, all of this is from education and passion for classical, orchestral, new age, ambient, and other awesome music genres. Thank you.

Skalski is an electo industrial project founded by Bogdan Skalski. He grew up in a cold, depressive city somewhere in the middle of Siberia. Cold beat, dark lyrics, vocal full of emotions and a little bit of self-sarcasm. New kind of darkness.

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
