We present something for listening to us for these years.
From our
videotapes a variety of songs either scattered around our
videotapes - on the tapes with games - or collected on a whole
tape called "Zilantcon Concerts 95..96..97..98..99".
But now to listen to it - do you hear the wonderful singing? To
this little glade, in which you are caught, around the bushes sit
various minstrels, ready to indulge you with their singing.
It must be acknowledged, that by the selection of these somethings
we oriented ourselves in the main by our own tastes - that way there's
not ___ among them... The sound is heard in MP3.
Here or
here (ZIP, 177K) you can download players - if you don't have one
yet... All files provided in 32K/s 22K GTs mono (real quality recorded
higher than even on the original VHS). And consider this, that the
sound was recorded by an implant on the camera, therefore out of frame
one inevitably hears conversations, squeaking doors, jingling swords,
groans of the wounded, volcanoes flowing zdravura...
For the moment I haven't collected song lyrics - it's laziness ;) If
someone wishes to find them -- I'll be thankful.
So:
Not quite new A. Sviridov,
or 10 songs, sung by the Byzantine ex-emperor in
Fangorn-on-the-Volga after ______ the Paradise melee.
Commentary in italics by that same A. Sviridov.

Mama, ya tormoz (Mama, I'm braking) This song's not mine,
I heard it at Arbat. Possibly its author is German Gelovani, but it
might not be. |

Glass). |

recorded at Zilantcon-97. The "original" was recorded by
Rust at Zilantcon-95. |

|
Some songs by Lora, Ezhen and Co.,
I may not have noted that the figure Ezhen (Ezhen'd'Albi, Evgenii
Susorov) is at times undeservedly lost behind Lora. I don't know to
whom belongs each specific song's authorship and their exact names -
and in ties long ago I cannot now find this out - therefore listen
to each as it is. In the present situation, italics still mean my
commentary.
|
Zvezda i smert' Feanora (The Star and Death of Feanor)
The first three songs were recorded in the corridor of Zilantcon-95. There
was the performance of almost a full opera under the name "The Star and
Death of Feanor". And this is the finale. |

|
The name of this song is apparently in Quenya - not good, not
good. :( |

|
Manve, ya Noldora lyublyu (Manwe, I love the Noldor)
It happened, it happened... |
(298K)
|
The next three songs have some previous history. At Zilantcon-96 at the
time of the masquerade ball, the Thieves' Guild stole Lora and demanded
from Ezhen - neither more nor less - to sing to them the world in which
they might be able to settle. With sorrow, I submitted the first song.
|
U smerti golos rebenka (Near death the child's voice)
Here in this world was universal Death... |

|
Dzhon Beksvord (John Becksword) Now in the preceding song
Bacchus was simply mentioned one time... Indeed, and here are the
thieves without him. I offer my apologies for the low quality sound -
particularly in this half of the song... It's just that the bandits
received this song very enthusiastically. |

|
Didli-Didli At the same event, this song was not recorded
by Ezhen (which he immediately admitted). And it was called at this
event "Bezum'e" (Madness). And in winter appeared the Oldnikol'erov Order
(a Staronikolian order of knights). Words and music were written by the
Seneschal of the above Order, Timothy Hillsboro, mundanely Dmitri
Protasov of the city of Pervomaisk. |

Alan McMedd This song is heard in a clearing near
Paris... The game was
"Conquest of Paradise".
Party percussion - Lora Bocharova. |

Drakkar This song was heard again at the tavern in the
LARP "Volki Odina" (Wolves
of Odin). In the tavern it's always noisy... |

Idol And this song is set entwined in the fabric
of my game... The song is apparently new - to the extreme measure
I didn't listen to it much - not before, not after. |

Now, and here's a few songs,
by writer/performer friends, heard by us in various places.
|
Kosari (Mowers) As popular in these circles as this song is,
its author is, unbelievably, unknown. I re-established it fairly.
The song is by Andrei Kozlovskov, Kazan songwriter from the town of
Bologdi. Performed by the writer, assisted by Vitaly Kharisov.
Recorded at the Siberian Highway studio in Kazan. |

|
Nye goryui (Not grief?) Another song by this songwriter.

Sonnii Ritsar' (Sleeping Knight)Song performed by Rust
(Rustem Yakulov, Ufa), (verses by Pavla Kalmikova (Ekv),
from her moving "The School of Wise Rulers; or, The History of
Kinglets". Recorded at Zilantkon-95, re-recorded
at Zilantcon-97 |
(923K)
|
|
Crusaders Song recorded at the game "Conquest of
Paradise", but the author of it I don't know, and I don't recognize
- both times on the videotape he sang it in the field in chainmail armor,
and only his eyes and guitar are visible. Look for yourself. Who knows
the songwriter? Help... |

|
|
Kem bit' (By whom to be) And this song was recorded at
Sibkon-98, but dedicated, again,
to the game "Conquest of Paradise". The songwriter and
performer, Chris (from Novosibirsk), sings heaps of
first-class songs, too... Generally in Siberia he sings wholesome
songs - this is probably interesting to him, what I brought out with
Sibkon....

|
Posvyashchenie Menestrelyam (Dedication to the Minstrels)
These two songs are also from Sibkon. Her name is Pyatka (Nastya
Makarova) and she sings ___ songs. Here are two - listen. |

|
Svoboda (Freedom) Hear more from her... |
(731K)
|
|
Kogda idet boi (When war comes) Seldom is an alteration
received well, but this is such a exception. Two more songs - by birth
from Siberia (Rerik - Yuri Ermolaev, from Novosibirsk), but it was
recorded at the game "Wolves of Odin" near Piter. The sound of the rain
was clearly audible.
Zoloto i
Stal' (Gold and Steel)
A ballad from the game "Lions of
Normandy" |

|
|
Zov Krovi (Call of the Blood) And two songs brought from
HI-97. Heledis (Khelavisa) performed it by the Freedom gate, to see off
Glorfindel to the duel with Sauron. |
(881K)
|
|
Volk-Odinochestvo (Wolf-Loneliness) Nienna. She performed it
at the time of the song duel between Sauron and Daeron, appearing in
the role of the Voice of Sauron (who sits a little bit behind).
|

|
|
Molitva (Prayer) Relax and soar up to the heavens (exactly -
taken to the peaks). The song is quite un-actionpacked, but entirely
____. Songwriter - Sergei Korichev, of Irkutsk (a Kazan songwriter
traditionally) performs in place of Yevgenii Logvinov. It was recorded
also, by the way, at Siberian Highway studio. |
