Deconstructed and Mixed
Here I am, back in October 2005, so excited to own my first ever t.A.T.u. record. Saturday was officially Record Store Day, and I love physical media! The following media, however, is 100% unofficial (and purely digitally created fan-art).
I used the format of an actual bootleg vinyl record to help shape the tracklist for an imagined Remix Version of the album, Dangerous and Moving. Four parts, each approx. 25 minutes long. I enjoy the experience of listening to each part – beginning with an intro, blending the individual tracks into one another, and bookending the two pairs with Dangerous and Moving / Lyudi Invalidi.
I wanted to write something meaningful to describe the inspiration behind the project. Something about how the isolation I felt during the pandemic lead me to find deeper meaning in the music and lyrics of t.A.T.u. – in turn isolating the vocals, drum loops, synths, acoustics and remixing them to create something new, just like we had to adjust to a new normal in the world.

This Is Our Future

“We must warn you before listening to this song…” a rather apt introduction to my playlist of original lyric recordings. They might not sound polished as they were all performed, written, and recorded on cassette by myself – in my bedroom, between 1996 and 1999. I began writing lyrics when I was about 8-years-old, but didn’t really focus on my talent until I turned 10! That year I started writing down verse after verse of anything and everything that was on mind. From harmless childhood games, to first loves, and breaking free and being rebellious, I documented it all, and still keep most of the original handwritten lyrics in a folder in my bedroom. These aren’t necessarily the best of the bunch, in fact, I only just managed to scrape together the required 8 by including a few alternate recordings. So, press play, and read more about each song below…
White Robe (Apologize Mash Up)
I’ve made another Mash Up! Well, sort of… it’s the English lyric version of my Beliy Plaschik / Apologize Mash Up, by t.A.T.u. and Timbaland.
Here is the accompanying video…
t.A.T.u vs. Timbaland and OneRepublic // White Robe (Apologize Mash Up)
The song combines the vocals from White Robe, and the music from Apologize. The video only features t.A.T.u. and is available to download, along with the MP3, on my Music page.
P.S. – I’m using a brand new service to host the audio, so I “apologize” if it fails!
