Borrowed Dreams : Igor Vitkevich

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Igor Vitkevich has a new album available for download based on Visions Fugitives” (Op. 22) by Sergey Prokofiev.

Igor said this of the new album :

Music of “Visions Fugitives” is very similar to soundtracks to dreams, on my look. So you can look at BORROWED DREAMS as a certain catalog of the company which lets out such specific product as DREAMS BY REQUEST. No more uncontrolled dreams! You lie down in bed, connect “dreamvision”, choose number in the catalog, for example “a dream â„– 379″ and press “play” or “sleep”.  It is very “intimate” music,with fragile character, full of semitones, twilights, incomplete lines… I  wanted to keep spirit of this work very much and I hope that it has turned out.

The result is a great sounding album with many of Igor’s characteristic sounds, a sample of which can be heard with Dream 6 below.

Borrowed Dreams is available from many major online music retailers and from Igor’s website http://www.ivitkevich.net/#!gallery/vstc2=page-5

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

A warm welcome to Igor Vitkevich from Latvia and now living in London who discovered Classitronic a few days ago and I’m very glad he did.

He has done some really great work which I have posted a couple of examples of here.

This is what says about himself on his website http://www.ivitkevich.net/

“I Was born on October, 16th 1962 in Balvi (Latvia).
In music took a great interest since the childhood. As the musician, has made the first steps at children’s musical school of the town of Balvi.
After five years of studying of physics and mathematics at Daugavpils State University has made sharp “turn” in a music and theatre direction.
As the actor worked at theatre (the Daugavpils State Theatre, theater group CHEMODAN), acted in film.
Wrote music to drama performances, acted with different groups (DZINTARS, OVERNIGHT SENSATION, RUSSKIJ KVAS). After acquaintance to computer technologies becomes their active supporter and starts the “classical” project.
Now lives in London, where actively co-operates with electronic groups and works over solo projects.”

I’m really looking forward to hearing more from Igor, i really like  CARMINA BURANA part II which you’ll find on his soundcloud area, its great fun track and sounds brilliant, a great Classitronic track I ever i heard one.
