Lil Skrillex and Glen Landing

Hello!

Lovely August day. Can you guys believe it's already August?!! and almost middle of it?

Well, well... I surely do not notice days going by while living in the land of "new tracks" and "delay designer"... The land of Loggic.

Danelectro guitar, me, and our Koteek DIY speaker :)

So here is it: my first song is finally here on our Soundcloud!

The name in English is Stars Stars, and in Russian Звездные Звезды (Zvezdnye Zvezdy as you can pronounce it)

Here are the lyrics:

звездные звезды
звездные звезды

звездные звезды
слушают волны
небо в вуали
в Сны приглашает

звездные звездыe
звездные звезды

I find the whole process quite fascinating. Coming from the world of recording only real instruments and mine are all analog :))) the electronic world is very new and FUN!

This song was written in one hour :) Dan made a beat. And then 1-2-3 Skrillex sole landed on my computer and we wrote the rest of stuff. Then i sang the melody line and was amazed how cool you can make it sound .... And i did use only some of basic stuff.... Then i recorded piano and guitar. I used my old lovely Lester piano and Danelectro guitar.


To document my journey i am going to write in a blog http://www.aniamaliakina.wordpress.com in Russian.


Also TONIGHT we are going to play a show in Pottsville PA at the festival Rockin the Aggie 2012 It is ALL AGES  and there going to be lots of music in the open air!! "FOOD, GAMES AND GIVEAWAYS!!!! AND ITS **BYOB** " (wow!!!!) We are going to play with our favorite friends The Sunset Villains!!!

OK! Gotta go may be finish a dress I am making for tonight :)) mmm, just kiddin, more likely "finish the beat"....


All the best to you, Ania

Summer Pick Of The Week - BOOK

Hello !

We hope that your summer days are going well so far! And today we are going to tell you what book is our Summer Pick Of The Week.

“Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” 
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Yes, yes, it is The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway! He is my favorite American writer and this book was his first one i read and is sort of "classic" for me.

A perfect book for your summer days on the beach (i hope) or just those relaxing moments. For everyone who loves and lives the sea.

“Then he began to pity the great fish that he had hooked. He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he thought. Never have I had such a strong fish nor one who acted so strangely. Perhaps he is too wise to jump. He could ruin me by jumping or by a wild rush. But perhaps he has been hooked many times before and he knows that this is how he should make his fight. He cannot know it is only one man against him, nor that it is an old man. But what a great fish he is! He took the bait like a male and he pulls like a male and his fight has no panic in it. I wonder if he has plans or if he is just as desperate as I am?” 
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

(is it time to go to the beach yet?) While i am writing this, i am looking at the ocean. It is one of it's best blue days. There is no boundaries between the ocean and the sky. Only shades of blue and white caps.

In the meanwhile we are presenting you our new "Friend" - a new piece of equipment. It is called Reverb Tank by Fender. We'll see what kinda jokes it got for us. It is specifically made for "surf" guitar sound and this is sound we are going for. Super excited to experiment with it.

We have been writing new songs! And in the latest one that 'came" to us the chorus is "mermaid is my girlfriend" :0 ! ha! i like it very much, it is cool and melodic and very catchy! (i've been singing it all morning today)

All the best, and
till the next post!!!
