RUSTY REMAINS (Eurorack, Softube Modular, Bitwig Studio)

The process of creating this work was quite unusual for me - I rarely come back to unfinished projects or ideas. But like most music producers, I complete only a fraction of projects I start. Few days ago I decided to explore how a couple of old eurorack textures would sound together - and it was great! I've found more and more unused sound design material, and some things didn't work, but some totally made sense.
Of course, this kind of dense, abstract dark ambient is not a huge part of my music now, but I really enjoy how it sounds and feels.
The video is based on my photograph, taken inside of an old school (or kinder-garden) in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. By the end of it I’ll come out of the screen and will shake your hand.
The track is now available on bandcamp: fedortkachev.b...

Буду краток - Восторг! Умеешь ты Фёдор страху навести.... респект.

Great work, very well done!

Sounds so eerie and spooky dear Fedor Tkachev Music! It has the atmosphere of drifting and floating in an other unearthly dimension! The accompanying photograph is dark and ambient as well, blends perfectly with the special sounding! Thanks for sharing this very special experience with us! We joined your impressive and inspiring channel! With friendly greetings and kind wishes, Alex and Alexandra

There is a haunting madness in this piece that is oh so delightful to the ears- awesome. Woof woof. Sincerely, Guard Dog Records

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

Hello and welcome to my domain! I think you nailed it to put my feelings about this track into words better than I ever could. In a weird way it sounds messed up and comfortable at the same time)

[@Probbie]

Wow, that's deep! 😮👌

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

yes, a little comeback to my younger musical self)

[@GroundPilotsMusic]

This is class, what a journey into that was man, amazing work !!!

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

yeah, this track got out of hand a little bit) Thank you so much for subscribing! It’s a really pleasant surprise, coming from a band of musicians on a quite different artistic level than what I am now. You’ll probably enjoy my other works.

[@BrokenSines]

Haunting and mesmerizing. The visuals compliment the mood perfectly. Great track Fedor.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

thanks! I really enjoy not having to record myself playing on camera, and figuring out these loosely conceptual videos

[@BrokenSines]

@@Fedor_Tkachev_Music I could see this being a nice change. It's fun to switch things up, keeps things fresh

Let the zone take me

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

you, golubchik, are already in the zone

[@pawespychaa4786]

Nice sound

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

thanks a lot, Paweł, and welcome to my world!

[@taylorharrison3585]

This is savage. If you mean, I'll totally snag this from BandCamp. I love the texture and the darkness and the length.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

Thank you, Taylor, I’ll release it there as soon as I can) This could even be a start of a dark ambient album, current times are quite appropriate for that)

[@taylorharrison3585]

@@Fedor_Tkachev_Music for sure. If you do, I'll buy it without heaitation.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

​@@taylorharrison3585 you inspired me to release it, and to potentially build a bigger ep or album, so thank you! Here's the link: fedortkachev.bandcamp.com/track/rusty-remains

[@taylorharrison3585]

@@Fedor_Tkachev_Music it has now been purchased. Hope to hear more like it! Thanks!

[@marekveleba]

Fedor, this was great. Nice textures and atmosphere. You have chosen an interesting approach with this piece. I'd love to visit the Zone someday. I started to plan the trip there more than year ago and then the conflict started. Not sure if is safe nowadays.

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

Thanks, Marek! Yeah, I’m kinda proud how it turned out. Safety… well the second attack from Belarus is highly unlikely. But the Zone and the nuclear station were under occupation temporary, so I don’t even know if tourism companies allowed to work, it’s a strategic object after all.

[@hrbarnhartart]

Hi, Fedor. The music is deeply moving, and the video track is closely and powerfully linked to the sound. May I ask, w as the video derived from a single image or a video clip?

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

Yes it’s just a single image and a some fx in resolve

[@hrbarnhartart]

@@Fedor_Tkachev_Music Thanks. Very well done IMO. Congratulations!
