Sliding Pictures out

Sliding Pictures out

«Sliding Pictures» has been released.

The Album is about transformation of the concept of home against the backdrop of two wars. A bomb shelter in Tel Aviv, a snow-covered Novoslobodskaya street, Mitzpe Street with the smell of the sea, the tree-lined Vykhino district — I rush through them as if in a dream.

The album title is a reference to transfer USSR stickers from the 70s. Sliding pictures capture the moment when a part of life has already been imprinted on tiles, while its continuation hangs in the air. In this movement — lies all the beauty and horror. I find home in it.

Almost all tracks on the album are collaborations with my friends, musicians, and alumni.

It’s as if I’ve had an epiphany: for the first time, I’ve gone beyond my self and found new strength in collaboration and synergy. It seems that with this strength, one can endure any war and truly feel support.

The brilliant cover of the animated months was made by Polina Gisich.

New music book is published!

Anton Maskeliade wrote a book for beginner musicians called “Your First Track“.

Today, anyone can create their own music using only a computer and headphones. If you have something to say to the world, you can also become a musician.

The book will guide you through all the steps of creating a musical track: from the idea and sounds to the released track. The book will help to deal with criticism and procrastination. It has three principal parts: how the music is arranged, how to make it technically and how to engage in creativity. Your first track may appear in a few hours.

Successful Russian editor Maxim Ilyahov was the editor of the book.

You can order it here. Or buy digital version.

Audio guide for GULAG Museum

Maskeliade has made audio guide for The GULAG History State Museum, creating atmospheric soundscapes for the exhibition.

The exhibition is dedicated to the history of the rise, development and decline of the Soviet labor camp system, an instrumental and integral part of the Soviet state machinery in the 1930s – 50s, and its political, administrative and economic role. The exhibition room also displays personal cases of various people who fell victims of the Soviet repressive policy and were sentenced to labor camp imprisonment.

The audio guide is available in two languages, Russian and English.
