    Thank you with all my heart!

    ARMANDII, you made me laugh!
    'dim', I'm sceptical. I don't think that music and money have many lucky intersections in today's world. :WINK1:

    Victoria, I dream of simple things: I want both my garden and my music to flower so that we can share and enjoy!

                I loved it, and that kind of singing is not easy, either.

                  Well, here are two more.

                  How am I supposed
                  This is one chunk I composed myself. Having no skill to play an instrument I sang all the harmonies.

                  How am I supposed (my composition) by Angelina_ on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free


                  Enjoy the Silence
                  This is another cover version. It is again an online collaboration and emerged on the Bulgarian music forum some time ago, when Depeche Mode's concert in Sofia was cancelled (after being sold out). People were unhappy and pianist Alex, who resides in Prague, decided to express her deep discontent by providing the piano track for other monkeys to play with. :D

                  Then came Bulgarian jazz guitarist Kolyo_k who's in Switzerland and played the acoustic guitar and percussion.

                  I'm not a Depeche fan in particular, that's why I was lurking in the nearby shrubbery. :WINK1:But the guitar sound inspired me towards something wriggling between the melody and a tribal chant.

                  And in the end Bobby Zasheff (who's a sound engineer also) assaulted the resulting track and 'industrialised' it, adding a panoramic battlefield view. When I asked him how he did that, he admitted that some of the bombing roar was achieved by a 'very-delayed-typing keystrokes' effect. :rolleyespink:

                  Crazy people do such things... :D

                  Enjoy! :sunny:

                      Let me 'infect' you with some Bulgarian folklore. :SUNsmile:

                      It's a dance piece called 'KRIVO HORÓ' in Bulgarian and it is not originally intended for singing.
                      But I loved the melody of the wind instrument (named kavál, roughly resembles a flute) and I decided to learn to sing it.

                      Well, it was so damn difficult that I lapsed into inarticulate silence for almost a year. Just listening and stammering... :biggrin:

                      Though the recording is still far from 'perfect', I think I've broken through a musical barrier, and transcended into what I thought of as 'impossible'.

                      I did it last night in the original tempo.
                      Hope you don't find it too strange: :biggrin:

                          Hiya Angelina.

                          As Peter said, a bit 'out of the usual' to British tastes. However, I quite enjoyed it. I feel that 'we' (British) miss out sometimes, devoted as we are to 'regular' pop music. BTW, you are a good singer, with a good voice:blue thumb:

                          Cheers...Freddy

                            Here's something you will probably feel more affiliated with....

                            A friend sent me the harmonies (the guitar part) and an awfully long, beautiful, unrhymed text, which I had to tailor into a song and make the language sound archaic.
                            I also had to come up with the melody and do anything 'vocal' which I thought appropriate.
                            Don't how successful I was in achieving both of these aims, it took me a certain amount of reworking...
                            But it's one of my favourite collaborations:

                              Hi there Angelina.

                              Not bad! I particularly liked the harmonies/backing vocals. I should add that when I said "regular pop music", I was speaking in broad terms. I actually don't like todays pop music. I find it all pretty much sounds the same, and is instantly forgettable.

                              Speaking of harmonies, I really like this....



                              Anyway, keep up the good work, cos you sound great;)
