Easy to influence, hard to convince.

Hello, visitor. In Russia, we say здравствуй when greeting a person, which means you wish them to be healthy. Regardless of the reason why you have come to my page (reasons may vary from sending a friend request to bashing my userpic/music taste/about me section, I wish you to be healthy. Because health is probably the most important thing in our short lives.

I'm a native Russian, but I was born in Astana, Kazakhstan. Now I live in Russia, and it's kinda fun, especially if we don't count bad roads and closed doors/gates/whatever everywhere. I like how the weather changes here throughout the year: the temperature varies from -30 in winter to +40 in summer. It's fun, actually. I like my country, I like the people here (not all of them, of course), I like the air I breathe. I understand my country has some serious problems and I hope people here will soon live better. Something is definitely changing, I can see that. We are changing. Our minds are changing. Our country is changing. And it's amazing, though I'd like things to change much faster.

Some kind of lyrical digression here. Now back to myself. I am:
- a keyboardist/pianist
- a KORG PA-588 owner (and it's a BEAST of an instrument)
- a music theory/rhythm/harmony/melody/structure geek
- a cynic
- an egoist hedonist
- crazy about languages: apart from Russian and English, I speak a little French (though I'm close to forgetting everything), Finnish and Estonian, and I've recently started studying Danish. I'm also trying to learn Welsh, cause I really like the way it looks and sounds. I have even learnt how to sing 'Sosban Fach', a Welsh nonsence folk song.
- a phonetics geek (palatal lateral spirant/fricative for the win!!!)
- much more than just that! find out more here: http://last.fm/user/leechoflife. seriously, just leave me a shout.

Some special thing about me: I don't really understand people who claim that they want their lastfm friends to be 'friends'. I think it's kinda strange. You can't call a person you've never seen a real friend of yours, and the fact that he wrote 'hi' in your shoutbox doesn't make him such. Go outside, get some real friends in real life if you want real friends. It's the internet, everything is strange here. Friends aren't friends, trolls aren't trolls, even cats aren't always cats. Only music remains the same. So, if you send me a friend request, I'll accept it if I consider your charts decent. Even if you didn't say hi. I don't want to have a shitload of friends here, but if you do, it doesn't bother me.

But it would be much more interesting if you had something to say to me, maybe some artist to recommend. I'd like to expand my musical horizons, so don't hesitate to recommend me new music!


I do speak English.

Minä puhun suomea.

Ma räägin eesti keelt.

Jeg kan lidt dansk.


Всё остальное время говорю преимущественно по-русски, десу.


things that I DO really like:

- Russia

- Nordic countries and languages
- Færøerne, Nordkapp, Reykjavik, fjorder, lakritsia, partitiivi, humoncomics, æ, ø, Helsingin Sanomat, Muumipeikko, Nokia og så videre

- Balkans



- pwoper wock and woll
- irregular and strange rhythms (no matter if it's 5/4 or 13/32)
- pure fucking emotion
- concept albums
- HAMMOND ORGAN!
yeah, pretty much like this:

- experiments with instruments, atmosphere, structure, lyrics and so on and so forth
- tolerance (especially if it annoys your opponent trying to provoke you)

things I don't really like or even hate sometimes:

- subcultures
- electronic music that contains one melody/beat repeated thousand times
- arrogant talking that wants to be called music
- primitive music
- communism (surprising, isn't it?)
- over-tolerant people and behaviour
- rusophobia
- fascism and racism
- various clichés such as:
"if you don't like <insert the artist name here>, you just envy them/her/him."
"first do what they/he/she did, then bash them/him/her."
"the world/some particular band used to be better than now". You know, it's just getting repetitive and pathetic. If you don't like the present, don't idealize the past.

Trolls, hipsters, Limberneck and kivancbilgin are welcome now. I need to practise my English. Or maybe even Finnish.
