Rarely in life do we find an individual who has experienced the trials and tragedies reminiscent of a Hollywood movie. Aksana is an exception. This blog charts the development of the material and the Aksana

Aksana is still in a Monastery in Russia. I've decided that for me this project is at an end and I will now be offering the material to other artists

Hollow Victory with ST Vocals
24/09/06

I said I wouldn't do this but what the hell. This is me singing the completed song Hollow Victory

The orchestra at the front will not necessarily stay but so long as we're in a what the hell mood .......

This really needs a session singer. I'm not able to put it across as I completely hear it and as I had to drop the key I've lost the crunch guitars as in this version.

Lyrics to this song are here

The Story So Far
20/09/06

Well, Aksana has joined a Monastery in Russia. That's the closest translation Graeme could put on it. Where does that leave the project - who knows? This girl lives the life of a Hollywood tragedy as has been commented on before. Apparently she's trying to find herself. Let's hope she does as I aint going there to find her myself and I'm not recording her vocals in a monastery!

Don't Look Down

Don't Look Down One of my legion of fans :-) spotted that this features in the "Jobs To Do" section but withoutany sample of the work. I forgot to add this. Fact is I'm unsure if it's right for Aksana but since it comes from the same burst of creativity I'll finish it and see how we go.

Bel - R - US

Project is stalled a bit at present as Aksana got arrested by 8 armed cops bent on deporting her. When they realised their mistake they said oops ! - you can use the deportation airline ticket for a little holiday instead. (only one way of course) so she's in Belarus for a little while

Hollow Victory
26/08/06

Hollow Victory This is now complete as a song with arrangement, lyrics etc. The link above is to a partial backing track that may be about the right key for Oxana or maybe a tone up from that. I've sung a version of this but I ain't uploading it here as it's a little embarrassing.  (NB the graphic now has people in it.

How long does it take to back up a load of data, format a hard drive and re-install windows? As long as it takes to lay this track on another computer:- -MARCHING Bored with the maintenance process I started noodling on an acoustic guitar and then this sort of happened. Yes, there are lyrics and a top line more of which later. Hey! at least it's not called XP or Bill Gates or something.

Sleepin Train To Paris - Just a short clip to evaluate the key. I can see several adjustments to make to this before version 2 is uploaded
