Our new song – an ancient Russian lullaby in our interpretation.

Our new song – an ancient Russian lullaby in our interpretation. We will play it at our upcoming concerts and maybe we will include it in the next album. Lullabies were used as a protection against evil, danger, or disease – if you see something bad, horrible in a dream then you don’t see it in reality. The ancient lullabies lyrics were magic and scaring, it was their power. Photo by Մշակութային վերածնունդ Օրորոց (2)

Theodor Bastard – Kolodec (Official music video)

On September 29 the early experimental Theodor Bastard’s album BossaNova_Trip will be re-released on CD

on By
We have great news for you! On September 29 the early experimental Theodor Bastard’s album BossaNova_Trip will be re-released on CD. This electronic album with no vocal was recorded by Fedor Svoloch in 2002, some years before the main members joined the band. The track “PU’s_Tota” was born exactly within this album. It was the initial electronic version, two years later it was heavily modified and became the first main hit of the band. The bonus track is that vocal version of “PU’s_Tota”, where that very well-known melody and text were first performed by Yana Veva. This is a limited edition of 300 copies in digisleeve with two cards.

Theodor Bastard have finished the whole soundtrack for the game Life is Feudal: MMO

on By

“The music of the Early Middle ages — this is where modern music originates from, after all, and especially the period of Northern early medieval music that we know so little about. Take any folk music — it’s like a breath of antiquity that has reached us, contemporary people. You simply can’t not get inspired by this, it’s like archeology or paleontology. Full of mysteries and never ending sources of inspiration! For instance, take various folk music harmonies, instruments with various sound and tunings.

In this day and age, everything is standardized and factory made — all those same model plastic instruments that people use in a modern music band — it hasn’t always been like this. Medieval world is a cluster of various ideas and musical concepts starting from instrument set and ending with harmony and melody ideas. It was a period of wonder, and the music itself had a different meaning.” — Theodor Bastard

Full concert at Central House of Artists 2015

on By

Finally, we have heroically finished the edition of our chamber concert at Central House of Artists, 2015. We published some fragments from it earlier.

Sometimes we felt we will never complete it. Twelve cameras, forty audio tracks, terabytes of data!

This is the first Theodor Bastard’s concert completely taken with multi-camera setup and recorded in multitrack, then mixed in the studio.

It was a unique experience when our fans who didn’t know each other before it, were working together as camera operators. And it was the great experience for Fedor (band’s guitarist) in audio mixing.

We are happy. Many thanks to everyone who worked with us!

This music video ‘Alteya’ from our chamber concert

on By

This music video “Alteya” from our chamber concert at Central House of Artists with Prohor Alekseev (Theremin). This song is named in honour of Althaea – a heroine of ancient Greek mythology. She had been mentioned by Ovid, Hesiod, Homer, Aeschylus. The theremin (also known as the termenvox) is an amazing instrument named after the name of its inventor, Leon Theremin, who invented it in 1920 in Petrograd. In order to play theremin, a musician must have perfect pitch, absolute pitch recognition, because theremin is controlled without physical contact by the performer.
