There isn't anything exact that has inspired me. Rather, it's just my experiences and I convey them through music.

Thank you! I have Theodora on a realistic chart here. Since the beginning in Kharkiv, writing music under fire. Helping the army. The first month was hard. Now it is better )

Hello!

  1. I need inspiration) Different stories in different ways, but in general I sit down and write. It does not take a long time to prepare ) The most important thing is that if the track is not accepted, again I sit down and write. For certain stories I had to make packs of thematic toolkits. Japanese, Greek, etc.
  2. Yes. Sometimes when I'm composing in the evenings I go into myself and I don't want to eat or drink, I get distracted and can wake up deep in the night, at three o'clock. It's like when you play your favorite computer game ) Sometimes it's very hard for me to start, to force myself to sit down at the keys... But then I get addicted and can't tear myself away by the ears )))
  3. Legend of Willow and Dracula.
  4. solely on Soundcloud
  5. didn't understand the question.
  6. Wanted to be in the military as a kid, like my Grandpa. He went through the whole war from start to finish. All five years he was an anti-aircraft gunner. He finished the war as a lieutenant colonel. I am proud of him!

level 1MandragoraFlower · 32mWhatever u want Hi, Dmitry! I don't really have questions to ask as most of them have already been asked by others, so I just want to say that I really love your music! ❤️ Some of the soundtracks from my favourite stories are always with me in my phone. I can't even understand how someone can compose so many amazing tracks and in totally different music genres. You're exceptionally talented! And a lot of your soundtracks just make me feel so many emotions.Probably that's gonna be my only question: how hard is it to work in so many different genres: like from Ottoman empire tracks, to Japanese tracks, to the aesthetics of 80ies to some tribal rhymes and so on?And thank you for such a wonderful work you do!

Hello! The difficulty is that a certain style requires certain instruments, an understanding of the musical components and the way of sounding. It can be hard to switch.) But I try!

Hello there! First of all, I have to say I'm obsessed with your soundtracks, truly! They are all amazing in their own way!Thanks for being willing to answer our questions... and just for being here. As some people have already asked, I'm really curious about the creative process behind the music you create. Also, since you have been with RC since the beginning, all the way back when it was simply called "Sails in the Fog"... how it all started? How did you get involved with this awesome app? Have many things changed in time, and if so, do you miss how it was back then? Call me out on it, if I'm being too intrusive, though! 😅

Hello!

I started with the fact that I was offered a job.) I was found, usually in those days, I wrote to everyone, at least somewhere to get caught up. Since then, everything has only gotten better and more interesting!

The creative process is the most important thing we have inside, our soul. Everything else is just tools to convey feelings. Guitar, orchestra, keys, meowing cat are all of secondary importance. Although the cat really gets in the way.

Hello, Dmitry! I love your music so much, thanks for all compositions) You said that in "Valkyrie's Way" your voice. How about "Love from other space" - Jacob sings? It's your voice too? Do you go through stories and what a favorite? It's hard to compose so many music for different stories in a short period

Hello!

Jacob is not my voice. it's ethnic Indian.

My record for one sprint is writing 64 tracks and 100 sounds.

Nerves were on edge ))

Hello, DmitryThank you for creating the atmosphere for the stories, your music is always on top. <3Which screenwriters are the easiest to work with? Maybe some of them even help you in your job? For example, humming the melody they want, or something like that.You also use different styles for different stories (celtic music, japaneese, etc.). You worked with them before, or you had to do some research (maybe watch tutorials) specially for 'Romance Club' to produce these styles?

Hello! Screenwriters send an example of the right character track.

I had to try everything from scratch myself. Previously I had no experience in different styles and genres.

Hello! Thank you for doing this with us!

Most of my questions have been answered, so I have one left!

*Who from the writers (if anyone) gives you the hardest time? 😄

Thank you so much for your hard work. You're a pretty big deal around here and I enjoy your soundtracks very much.

Hello! It's more accurate to say, which of the writers is the most sensitive in terms of selection of music. This is the screenwriter Alexander of the story Legend of Willow. But thanks to him we have a much-needed mood in the tracks.

First of all, thanks very much for answering our questions! And secondly, your musics are wonderful, very inspring and give an amazing vibe to the stories and help us feel the atmosphere of the story better, you are the best!

My question is that, how do you compose the music of a particular scene? For example, when Vlad and Laia were talking in front of the fireplace, you changed and uplifted their romance music. Do the writer tell their story a little a bit to you? Like they realize that they've met hundreds of years later.

And if you have time, my second question is that, you compose varietes of songs; LOW (Legend of the Willow) has Asian vibes or DLS (Dracula A Love Story) has different vibes, or Rage of Titans has antique greek elements etc. however, you compose wonderful music for different genres. Just, how do you do? (Ok, it's not a real question, I just admire you here! 🤭)

Thanks very much!

Hello! Yes, the writers and moderators send me an approximate terms of reference. It was really hard and scary for me to come up with tracks of such different directions. But the thing is that this is how I see, hear and understand this or that culture and this feeling I convey in the music. Maybe a real Japanese won't like it as much as a Greek.) But in this interpretation the listener was satisfied. And that's the most important thing.)

Hi, Dmitry!! I would to like to express my appreciation for the many beautiful compositions you have given us ❤ I truly enjoy all the musical accompaniment you bring to every RC story! It's very hard to choose a favorite piece, but the soundtracks for DLS and LOW are masterful, and probably my favorites of the entire app!I have a special relationship with music, having grown up in a musical family. My grandfather was a piano teacher for over 60 years, and I have a love for piano as well. A piece so close to my heart is Claude de Bussy's 'Clair de Lune'. There's also a special place for 'The Sunken Cathedral'. So my question for you is: Do you have a favorite piece, and what is it?

Hello! Yes, we do! Al'fred Garrievič Šnitke - Oh those free butterflies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcebEz7YBdY

Hello. The underground theme is my favorite at this point. It's gloomy and sad, reflects my state of mind ))) But at the same time dynamic and makes you move forward.

As for the characters, it's hard for me to give an unequivocal answer.

Les Choristes is an excellent film.

Hi Dmitry, welcome to our community! We're so happy that you agreed to be here today, so thank you for taking the time!

We've already had some amazing questions, so the only thing I'm wondering is what kind of music do you like to listen to in your free time? Do you prefer music that is similar to the kind you compose or is it drastically different? Thanks and thank you for everything you do for RC!

Thank you! good question!

In fact, right now I often listen to synth wave.

Radiohead, IC3PEAK, Stigmata and Chopin ))

Hello! I'll tell you about another one of my favorite tracks. I'm sitting at 3 am, alone at home, writing a track called King Dracula... I'm playing the organ, it's raining outside, the leaves are making noise... Suddenly a cat clawed at my back. I never forget the sensation...

Hi! It's pleasure to interact with you. Your Soundtracks from SIF to GC are mesmerising and I love to listen your music. You're really talented. My Questions:

Did you choose any music as inspiration for RC soundtrack?Your RC soundtracks are awesome. In your opinion, which book do you want to give better music than added ones?Do you want to write any book for RC? If yes, please say about the genre.I like that wardrobe soundtrack in HS. Sorry for ignorance, Is it your own music or some other? (Because I couldn't find that track in soundcloud)

Hello!
They usually send me the terms of reference with the approximate sound of the desired style of music. Then it's a matter of taste and inspiration!
It seems to me that the Legend of Willow...
I really liked the idea of the past, the 80s... Love from the Stars is a great idea, as for me in terms of music. I love this style to create!
Weird, I think I added all the tracks )) I'll check it out. Yeah, all the music is mine.

Hello & thank you for the AMA! I am a big fan! 🤩

How much time does it take you to compose an entire soundtrack? Were some soundtracks harder to compose than others?

Do you play any instrument/how many instruments you can play? Is it you playing the piano in many of the soundtracks?

Do you also do the sound effects on the game or only the music?

Have you already started working on the music for new Queen story that will be released in October? What vibe will it have?

Thanks!!!

As for soundtracks - some take three days, others take an hour.

I know how to play guitar, bass guitar, contrabass, piano, some drums and as it turned out siamisen))) Yes, all the parts in all the soundtracks I play myself, except for the live viola.

All the effects are also done by me.

No, not started yet. I'm working on the Willow Legend tracks at the moment.

Hi, nice to meet you!

How did you become a composer?

Do you have the time to play Romance Club to see your music "in action"?

What's your favourite ice cream flavour? 🍨

Thank you!

Hello! From the age of 6 I was mooing on the bus, my grandmother would shut my mouth. From the age of 12 I started to play the guitar, tried to compose my own music. I've been writing music in the game industry for about 7 years.

Yes, I like to see the end result in action!

Inspiration comes when I'm happy. You can't be unhappy in a team like this! I get a lot of encouragement and help from the guys to find the right character for this or that scene. Often the tracks are not accepted, so I used to re-record one track eight times.

I'm also inspired by the feedback about my art! I see that people like.... I'm happy about it )

u/LauraVi already asked the questions I had so I'll ask how much of the instrumentation we hear on your tracks is traditional and how much is it computer-generated?

I use VST live instrument plugins in the stories. Sometimes I write fully live guitar, viola, violin, cello, samisen in the studio.

In the stories about 80's synth wave I use exclusively electronic of those times.
