Classical Composer Reacts to DIMASH: SOS | The Daily Doug (Episode 700)

#dimash #dimashreaction #dimashsos
In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to music from international sensation Dimash for the first time. He's singing SOS d'un terrien en détresse, a song originally written in the late 1970's. I had never heard of him nor heard him sing before, and I was quite taken with his talent and impeccable technique. I hope you enjoy!

Dimash is a 29-year-old Kazakh vocalist and composer; He speaks Kasakh, Russian and English and is learning Mandarin Chinese. He sings in more than 14 languages, plays 7 musical instruments. He graduated from the Kazakhstan University of Arts with a master's degree in composition and I was informed that he has already completed a doctorate in musicology. He also dances, acts and is an advertising model (he is 6.3 feet tall). He has received countless awards and honors around the world. He was recently in Los Angeles, USA, working on new material of his that his fans (he affectionately calls us "dears") are looking forward to. He is a kind, polite and compassionate person, proud of his culture and his country.

[@christinabrain1426]

You forgot to mention that he is a composer too. Both low and high notes were not his full range. He sings all ranges of opera from bass to tenor to soprano all in one song. Have a look at Olympico and El Amor En Ti. He doesn't speak many languages, but does sing in about 14 languages. He speaks Kazakh, Russian, English and some Chinese. Great reaction thank you 😊🙏💕

[@deborahwilliamson2173]

It is so refreshing to finally find a reactor that took the time to do his own research on Dimash. So many others dive into Dimash and then ask the listeners to bring them up to speed. Excellent job. Now, all you have to do is sit back and be amazed at his talent. Dimash does vocal training for 3-5 hours a day, every day. He made a statement that if you were to cut open his heart, you would see music. I hope you continue to listen to Dimash. He is not just a singer. He is a true performer and totally immerses himself in every song he sings. He has input into everything about his music. He still does vocal training for 3-5 hours a day every day. He also had a concert in New York that sold out. There were "Dears", the name he has given his fans, from 47 States and 54 countries. With all that he has going for himself, he is a very humble person and never misses an opportunity to acknowledge everyone who works with him. Before you become too inundated with suggestions, I would like to recommend Love Is Like A Dream, Sinful Passion, Your Love, Oplympico, Ave Maria, Ikanaide, Love Of Tired Swans, and Stranger. Thank you again for this video and I look forward to more of Dimash from you.

Except his more poppy songs, which I personally dont like at all. There's a bunch of them, and theyre are forgettable

[@jeanblythe1595]

I discovered Dimash 2 months ago, and since then have had to listen to him every day as many times as I can fit in. I try to listen to all his songs, but some still pop up that I had not yet heard. My daily "must hear" is Ikanaide (Japanese for Don't go), which is from the Tokyo 2021 (? might be 2020) Jazz Festival. He sings it in studio, and is wearing a handsome heather green sweater. I also love The Story of One Sky music video (the mini movie that took 3 years for Dimash to write, compose, and act in, because it was a very complex project, with movie-theater quality cinematography. It is about the horror of war, and what we must do to end war. 13 minutes plus long. It is difficult to watch, but if you realize that the meaning of the video is to choose life, it is easier. I love it and have watched it at least 100 times.

I just hope Dimash's fame continues to grow and expand, because he takes me places music has never taken me before, and I've been musical since I was a baby! I just wish I could join a fan club of Dears, or Fawns. I'm in Wisconsin, USA.

Speaking of music composition, Dimash has a relatively recent music video which is 13:40 long, titled The Story of One Sky. He worked for 3 years composing the music for it and also wrote the script for the MV. It is a very moving and hard-hitting piece that you may find particularly interesting and to your liking. We Dimash fans, who he has named DEARS, would very much like for you to do a reaction to music video. Thank you for your consideration.

This was fun to watch, thank you for taking the time to appreciate and share Dimash! I'm sure this has been mentioned more than once but this is no where near the top nor the bottom of his range. Personally I don't even feel that this is his best performance of this piece, though all of his performances are incredible! Check out "Stranger" at New Wave, "Olympico", or if you want your head to explode watch "Unforgettable Day" at Gakku. Really he has a song for every feeling, every preference, every mood. He knows how to put on a show, top to bottom, start to finish, no detail left unaddressed. He is a true showman, an artist unmatched in skill, and the most humble being. Love from Oregon!

Dimash is the singer of the millennia. No-one can do what he does, and in so many genres. I've yet to find anyone in history to match his abilities.

[@user-sz7ur8xq5f]

Thank you for reacting to this amazing artist. I tell you there is much more than this by Dimash! You don`t heart the lowest and not the highest note of him. In addition to his great technique it`s his feeling for music. He is also a fabulous entertainer on stage. There are so many great performances of him. For example: "Ave Maria" and "Stranger" (new composition by Igor Krutoy for Dimash), "El Amor En Ti" at his Almaty concert (composer Dimash), "Autumn strong" at his Arnau tour (Mandarin/Chinese cover) But he did also pop, traditional Kazakh folk, rap ...

[@jr4chargers]

Trust me when I say, that this is barely scratching the surface of what Dimash can do with his voice. I recommend watching more of his performances. I think the best one must be ‘The Story of One Sky’ live!

[@RRbobreed]

Given that you're a composer, you could provide such a different analysis to Dimash's songs! Although Dimash has a very large vocal range he uses the notes he sings to serve the song.. In interviews, he will not talk about his range. There are so many choices that he makes from notes, key changes and remarkably subtle things most of us would love to hear about. PLEASE consider doing more videos on Dimash.

[@peggyuser-oq6xz7fg9o]

One of his personal compositions is Omir which means Life in his language. This song reveals the heart of the young man. It is tender, intimate and raw. Thank you for a response with "seasoning"😅. Very valuable.

Glad you reacted to Dimash and liked this song. 😊❤ Dimash is very versatile. So you have a wide variety of songs to choose from. But it almost doesn’t matter which one you choose next - all of them are incredible. 😊🤩 If you want beautiful melodies and strong emotions (often kinda longing) choose his kazach songs (Daididau, Samaltau, Omir, Almanat, even Dudarai - but the newest one has a twist to it 😉) If you want crazy vocals: Olimpico, Sinful Passion, Stranger, El Amor En Ti, Jasmine, The Story of One Sky - wait with that one…trust me 😅 and so many others

I see my fellow Dears have already made a number of suggestions, in relation to Dimash's long and impressive list of songs. I have been a Dear for almost 7 years now and I am more impressed by him, as a musician and as a human being (Dimash is a magnificent soul!) than I was in February 2017, when I first heard him sing SOS! Of all the vocalists I've encountered thus far in my 71 years, Dimash, in my book, is number one - followed by Barbra Streisand! I think you would marvel at his (and Igor Krutoy's) rendition of "Ave Maria" and of course Dimash's 15 minute movie, entitled "The Story of One Sky", which he wrote and composed. However, be forewarned, while it is a true masterpiece, it is truthful and very heavy! You have a new sub, Doug. Thank you for already "getting" our collective Kazakh son/brother!!!

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

Who is Dimash? Only the singer of the millennia. From Kazakhstan, beginning his singing career at age 5 (he's 29 now), Dimash was accepted into the most distinguished music academy in his country. His range extends from the top of the bass register to the highest notes of the coloratura soprano and whistle register. His first digital music album "ID" went platinum in only 37 seconds after release, and 3x platinum in only one hour, and 5x platinum in only one day on Chinese music platforms In December 2019, he made his US debut in New York at the Barclays Center. Dears (those he calls his fans) traveled from 68 different countries, 43 states & 2 US territories, and was sold out. Now writing his Doctoral thesis for a PhD in Musicology/ Composing, received all his degrees with honors while simultaneously filling arenas and maintaining his performing career, a first! He has a bachelors degree in vocals, a master's degree in composition and is about to complete his PhD in musicology this year. Perhaps his admiration is focused on the fact that Dimash can sing in 14 different languages and has a vocal range of 7.7 octaves, with his highest note being a D8 (off the end of a piano keyboard).

[@neya333]

Dimash is a brilliant musical artist and Man. You can say about his range - going back and forth with himself. "Stranger" is next.

[@zemanoshtronz]

Some things that make Dimash a different singer are his absolute pitch and the ability to perceive and reproduce microtonalities (which currently reach 32 semitones and which is not a common scale in the West, which uses the well-tempered scale of 7 tones and 5 semitones ). He is also a phenomenal composer and arranger, a fact that complements his singing, as everything that needs to be done is already built into his mind! Dimash is a graduate of the University of the Arts in piano, opera, contemporary and jazz, has a master's degree in composition, plays seven musical instruments and is currently completing a doctorate in musicology. The complexity of the works created by Dimash (such as “The Story Of One Sky” and “El Amor En Ti”) demonstrates that, in addition to being a singer, Dimash can assert himself as one of the most talented modern composers!

[@Ascension721]

I think you'd really like Olympico. Dimash in general is pretty fantastic stuff and youll see more sides of him the more you watch. Hes a superstar in the Eastern world but is trying to make a name for himself in the west as of recently. Not all of his stuff is the flashy stuff, but thats usually what gets recommended because the flashier stuff is what makes him such an outstanding artist. I'd recommend listening to some of the less reacted to performances on Dimash's channel, to prove that its not about ego (as people have falsely said that in the past)

[@janetlawson4482]

Sir, just to let you know honestly, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Dimash utizes his range to express the emotion, he is always asked about his range, which he says is not important, what is important is to allow the listeners to escape their reality and its important to Dimash to convey the proper emotion needed for each song. He also uses his voice like an instrument, violin or traditional instrument. I do hope that you continue with this journey, Dimash’s character equals his talent, at the beginning of this song, in the right had corner, it said Charity Partner Project Cure, if you read Wikipedia, while the information is very outdated, read about Humanitarian, he is also an Ambassador of Peace ❤.

Very respectful with his fans (Dears) and his family. Hope time gives him the international success he deserves. Note: he hasn't sign with any record company to keep his freedom as an artist, that´s why he is growing on his own hard work.

I think when making recommendations people forget that all of us have music preferences. I always recommend my favorites first but I also think they showcase his voice the best. I'm going to give you a nice list of songs in different genres. So, depending on your mood... Dimash has over 170 songs available to the public. Here are my top choices for each genre by Dimash. Must watch! STRANGER (English) Classical Ballads S.O.S. (French) Love Is Like A Dream (Russian) The Love of Tired Swans (Russian) Sinful Passion (Russian) Your Love (English) original song More Operatic Olimpico (Italian) original song Ti Amo Cosi (Italian) w/Aida & Lara Fabian Ulysses (Italian) Softer tear jerkers/must hear voice Ave Maria (Vocalize) Autumn Strong (Mandarin) The Meaning of Eternity (Mandarin) Give Me Love (Kazakh) Daybreak (Mandarin) Pop/faster beat/Rap Fly Away (English) Be With Me (English, Kazakh) Screaming (English) Jamaica (Italian) Soundtracks Across Endless Dimensions (English) Battle Of Memories (Mandarin) Oceans Over Time (for video game-Mandarin) Songs in his teens - all in Kazakh My Beauty (he composed) Astana Waltz Aliya Unforgettable Day (he composed) Rock/duets War and Peace (he composed) Queen Medley w/Super Vocal Boys (avaliable on vimeo) Swan Goose w/Tengri Drunken Concubine/Diva Dance w/Li Yugang Dearest Mother w/his parents Fun/Other stuff/Power House Opera 2 (Russian) Mademoiselle Hyde (English) Adagio (English) The Crown (Mandarin) Know (Russian) Folk/Traditional - all in Kazakh Samaltau Daididau Qaraqym Ai

[@simonbastien5949]

Excellent recommendations! In the folk/traditionnal Kazakh songs, I would add two essential songs: - Qairan Elim, a very moving song and a superb video - Omir Oter, a masterpiece and, unfortunately, one of the most underrated Dimash's songs.

[@SeeliaVachon]

@@simonbastien5949 yes, it's an old list that I hardly update and only to let reactors get an idea of what's best in the different genres. I also LOVE Omir Oter! ❤️

[@anahills3836]

I'm happy that you have taken a listen to Dimash also! I really enjoy listening to reactors who know music, because they appreciate what Dimash is able to do right away! Oh yes, we have many songs to recommend! I think you would enjoy watching a song he composed himself and sang at a recent concert. It's in Spanish and is called "El Amor en Ti". The lyrics were written by a Spanish speaker on his behalf. You will get to have a good listen to some of his different vocal ranges and there is a surprise at the end. Another great song of his that is a must see is "Stranger" from New Wave. Just be aware that it is almost always blocked by KZbin so you will probably need to stop it a few times throughout the song and put some sort of screen over it. But it's worth it! Enjoy! 🇨🇦

[@user-qe7lu5zf2y]

THANK YOU OH GOOD SIR! Respected Classical Composer Sir Doug as Dimash is enjoyed by all he is only TRULY appreciated by highly educated and experienced people like yourself THANK you my good man keep on your Dimash Journey and prepare to be AMAZED!!! Cheers your grace

Bienvenido a nuestro maravilloso mundo musical:Dimash!quien nos devuelve la buena música que nos hace soñar,suspirar,amar y flotar en cada nota que interpreta ❤ Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@addison5938]

As you come to know him better as other musicians and vocalists and vocal coaches have learned, You didn't hear his whistle tone in this performance. He has an incredible whistle register as high as a D8 as a matter of fact, but The high notes in this piece were full on falsetto in the soprano register. He's an anomaly and what would be whistle register for other vocalists he sings in his falsetto. Looking forward to many more Dimash reactions from you.

[@simonbastien5949]

You're 100% right about his falsetto in the soprano register. We can hear his whistle tone in the 7th and 8th octave. For Dimash, everything in the 6th octave is head voice ou falsetto in the soprano register.

Siii Dimash es maravilloso! No hay nadie como él. Cada vez que lo escuchas es una experiencia de vida. Gracias por tu reacción. Saludos desde México

[@MisterWondrous]

When I saw a version of this by Dimash I was floored, and sought out other versions of him and others singing it. Lots of great listening there, but this one takes the cake. He is right up there with Lisa Gerrard, David Hykes, Dawn Upshaw, and Kiri Ti Kanawa.

[@MrBubba311]

I also sought out other singers who performed this. They are good, but Dimash is great.

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

I wish he would collaborate with Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer ..

[@MisterWondrous]

@@ssshadowwolf6762 Lord, that would be sublime. Hold that vision!

[@osovagabundo1]

After his appearance in china His next album went triple platinum in three hours. He has a Russian composer writing songs big enough that showcase his ever growing capacity to deliver. You’ll have a great time unfolding this puzzle

[@RutaArcanaTV]

Welcome to the Dimash world 😊. You'll love his work song by song like I do. Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela.

[@sunnysmiles2930]

Dimash is unbelievable. He never copy someone's eong. He create his oen version. Watch what he did with Lionel's Richi Hello.

[@juliaclementfontaine3506]

Thanks for this. Dimash is the most talented artist I have ever heard, he is very versatile, he can sing practically any musical genre. It is difficult to classify him into one, I think he is creating something totally new. You will realize it. see something in #Kazakh more folk #SALMATAU TOKIO JAZZ + PLUS FESTIVAL

[@ngairesnow5265]

Thank you so much Doug for such a sincere, intelligent reaction to our beloved Dimash. I really appreciate the fact that you did your homework first too. I have subscribed in the hopes that you will react & enjoy a lot more DQ music. Hugs from a New Zealand Dear🤗🤗👍👍

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Please watch more of Dimash's performances, Sir. He sings everything from opera to pop, and sometimes even blends the genres. May I suggest "El Amore En Ti" ? As a classical composer, I think you might really enjoy that one, but be ready for a real magical stage show.

[@mishellgagnon5771]

An AMAZING, TRULY AMAZING talent! We just keep being amazed at such a wonderful singer. And what presence on stage..! 1

[@TheMedicineCouch]

As I'm sure others have said, this is just a drop in the bucket! There is SO MUCH MORE to discover with Dimash and I hope you will continue to react to him. I would especially love to here your reaction to songs he has written, especially his 2 most recent compositions: Omir and The Story of One Sky. However, these would be best to wait on until you've digested some of his other material and gotten to know him a little more. Omir is a composition he wrote for his fans on his birthday and it is basically his thoughts on his career and his life up to this point. The Story of One Sky is his magnum opus to date. He spent 3 years composing it and wrote the storyline for the music video (really a mini movie!). That song is about the need for world peace. You should definitely react to the music video at some point. It is quite heavy and has some difficult moments to watch, but it is amazing.

Спасибо за реакцию на самого космического Димаша 😃☝️👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍💯🤩💥❤

[@carmencarrasco1414]

Gracias por escuchar a éste maravilloso cantante llamado Dimash, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

[@jiso5232]

I'd recommend Adagio (2017 version, his international beginning - his technique improved since the performance, but it's great anyway), Stranger, Olimpico (the version on Igor Krutoy's channel), Your Love, Diva Dance (Bastau version), if you know The Fifth Element movie. Maybe also Unforgettable Day (Gakku version), where he sings the highest note of his recorded career (he also composed the song). Regards 🙂

[@user-xk3xy2to6g]

Добро пожаловать в потрясающий мир Димаша. Не останавливайтесь, Вас ждет еще много невероятного на этом пути❤

[@lolawants2008]

Hi Doug, believe me this one song is only a fraction of all he does… I hope you go down the Dimash rabbit hole :) Check out Olimpico- the version from his live concert you will find it on composer Igor Krutoy’s channel (thumbnail has a ring of white lights)- very operatic, Ave Maria (a new composition just for him, out of this world), Stranger from New Wave (this is in English, it feels like it belongs in a fantasy film, you must see this but this 1 in particular has issues with copyright so definitely you want to blur or otherwise do something to the image). He has literally dozens of masterpieces. You’d love also Know… look for live version in white suit

[@EdanDavey]

Ave Maria is a composition written in the early 1800s (Schubert/Liszt). Definitely not a new composition written for Dimash.

[@debbiemorgan859]

​@@EdanDaveyover 600 Ave Marias have been written throughout history. This is a brand new vocalise version written specifically for Dimash by the Russian Composer Igor Krutoy. The now famous Ave Maria by Schubert wasn't even originally known by that name.

[@EdanDavey]

@@debbiemorgan859 it’s not a new composition. It’s a new vocalize arrangement of an existing composition.

[@kcraft9087]

Igor Krutoy composed Dimash's Ave Maria.

[@jeanblythe1595]

@@EdanDavey Dimash's version was specifically written for him by Igor Krutoy, who came out of retirement when he heard Dimash sing, because he said he had been waiting all his life for a singer like him, who appreciates the poetry and history in a song, not just phoning in performances. Dimash lives his songs. Igor wrote many songs for Dimash, and plays piano for him during performances of the songs he wrote. Igor is the good looking bald man, at the piano and often in the audience of Dimash's concerts. They became very great friends. Igor makes full use of Dimash's ever-expanding musical range and styles of singing. The Ave Maria is new, and the amazing thing is that it has no words, so it is literally for everyone.

[@reneedevry4361]

Welcome to the world of Dimash. Not only an incredible singer a truly generous and great guy.👍❤️ Loved your reaction but widest range in one song?🤔🤔 Stranger or Our Love (Masked Singer-China) perhaps.....😏 Check out Drunken Concubine and Diva Dance duet with Li Yugang at Shanghi Spring Festival. FYI .... Dimash had a sold out Concert in December, 2019 at the Barclay Center in New York. 🥰🥰🥰🇨🇦

[@Karin_Aquatica]

Since you are a composer you maybe would like to react to one of his own compositions for example „El Amor En Ti“ or „War and Peace“. I think he is a dream for any composer, isn’t he? You can compose whatever you want for him without any limits. Every octave, every singing technique, every genre - he sings it all brilliantly.

[@user-jm5hf7fp8v]

Liked your reaction so much. It was so nice to watch someone review him with some research ahead of time rather than going in cold and clueless. Most will tell you while this is awesome, this is only the very tip of the Dimash iceberg. I started wriiting a list of my favorite songs of his but stopped when I got to 50. His first real breakthrough was in China in 2017 in the show The Singer. He was put in as a "ringer" up against all professional singers. He sang S.O.S. as the first contestant and the internet crashed in China. Later, when his first album came out there, it took 37 seconds to go platinum and was triple platinum in the first hour. If you want to watch him sing one of his own compositions, Unforgettable Day, which he wrote at 19, he performs wonderfully on The Singer. It is a nice place to start. I hope you continue the Dimash journey and know you will notice the composer, especially when it is Dimash. It can be frustrating to watch a reviewer be amazed at his incredible performance of El Amor En Ti at Almaty but not know he COMPOSED it at the request of his Spanish speaking fans. Enjoy your journey. Welcome to Dimash....

[@Doug.Helvering]

Truly incredible! Cannot wait to explore further... It is such a joy to discover this one of a kind talent!

[@andydear4490]

Congratulations . You’ve found the greatest artist ever. Dimash is phenomenal. Thank you for your reaction and analysis. Much appreciated. More please. I have subscribed to your channel for Dimash. A Dear from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@niwdenapolis]

Dimash has a vocal range spanning 6 octaves with his whistle register reaching into the eight-octave range SOS is the tip of the iceberg.

[@ManxThor]

Some recommended songs from Dimash are, Stranger (sung in English), Sinful Passion, Ave Maria, Love is Like a Dream & Ogni Pietra (Olimpico). The last one being an operatic song written for him by Igor Krutoy. Best version here :-- kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpyzhGmqbZmknZY

Dimash is the Best of the best......no comparacy to no one.....🤗🤗🤗

[@victoriah.2083]

He keeps expanding his range and improving the timbre and tone in the extreme registers. I think he will move into directing movies. And, later, teaching.

[@oddviews]

Loved this reaction. Be prepared for the Dimash journey that will have you saying often, "I wasn't expecting that". Dimash is the ideal musical treat! I am 78 and old enough to have heard hitherto some of the best singers and performers in all genres including over 200 operas and Dimash has it all for me! I have been to a Dimash live concert earlier this year - an experience I can never forget; and the only thing in life that could be better, would be to go to another! Welcome aboard the Dimash train ,that for you hasn't even left the station yet.

[@nadiap.5900]

He is wonderful, marvelous, special, unique, and all kinds of words that haven't been invented yet to describe the magic that is Dimash) Thank you, sir, subbed!

[@getaiftodie]

Great reaction! Our beloved Dimash is a wonder of the world. His talent and charisma are unmatchable. He can sing everything. For some opera, please check his masterpiece Olimpico. He won the Victoria award in Russia as Best classsical singer. All the best.

[@Gokash4672]

Watch Unforgettable Day. Gakku Open Air concert with 150,000 I attendance. He will surprise you. He was only 22 yrs old in 2017. Thank you so much for showcasing Dimash. I found out about him post pandemic, alas, that was my loss! But I’m making up on lost time. 🤩🥰👍❤️🇨🇦

[@Benobot99]

Please do Dimash - Sinful Passion next! It's unbelievable!

[@FawziaTung]

👍👍👍👏👏👏🌷💕🌷💕Great comments and analysis and reaction!!! So happy you found Dimash, for he is indeed the greatest singer of all time! However amazing SOS was, it was only the tip of the iceberg of Dimash’s talent. These were neither the lowest nor the highest notes he can sing. Actually the highest in record so far is a D8, which he inadvertently sang in Unforgettable Day (a song he composed at age 17) at the 2017 Gakku music festival. He never did it again, possibly because he doesn’t do high notes for show but to underline emotions. His lowest appear in several songs. He can sing in any style as you sampled already, and loves mixing them within one song or one line. Suggestions for more Dimash: For Olympic level vocal acrobatics: Sinful Passion. For variety of styles: Stranger. For classical style: Ti Amo Cosi (trio with Lara Fabian and Aida Garifullina). Ballad: Adagio (version at Singer 2017). Rock: Go Go Power Rangers; Queen Medley (with the Super Vocal Boys); pop and rap: Be with Me (the MV). Jazz funk and folk: Dudarai (on cctv 1). Just marvelous: Love Is like a Dream; Know (especially the Vocalise version); The Love of Tired Swans; The Meaning of Eternity. Examples of genius: The Story of One Sky (the musical mini movie); El Amor en Ti. These are for starters. Looking forward to your reactions!!!👍🌷

Sinful Passion is equally amazing, but Unforgettable Day Live will knock your socks off! Dimash is a phenomenon! If you want to go the other way and plumb the depths then your very own Geoff Castellucci sings 16 tons, Elvis's "way on down"... His Group "voiceplay" have done some great covers, but I recommend Valhalla Calling or the Oogie Boogie song from the nightmare become Christmas. Hopefully the arrangements for these will appeal to your compositional mind! Great reaction!

*before Christmas... Because my autocorrect is ironic!

[@duniatucker1638]

this is the tip of the iceberg 😅 DIMASH is a MUSICAL GENIUS 💓💖💝STRANGER next please thank you

[@wbrenne]

For you as a composer, I think that it would be most interesting to listen and react to Dimash's own composition The Story Of One Sky. It is an epic 13 min music video (that he also directed). In addition to his voice, he is using so many musical and arrangement techniques to tell the story and to support the message that he wants to get across that you should be able to talk about it for hours. The whole project took him three years to complete.
