VITER’s NEW DRUMMER

After the series of probes we are glad to inform that Andriy Hordiychuk became the new VITER drummer. He is well known by his work in TOSTER band.

CHANGES IN BAND LINE-UP

Due to the different reasons VITER will not continue its work with Andriy “Tur” Kopylchak (drums). New nominees are being considered and work over full length album will not be interrupted.

ALBUM “DIVA RUZHA” IS COMING SOON

Audio disc of VITER and KINGS & BEGGARS musical project will be released in a short time by  CASUS BELLI MUSICA. The album will contain 5 joint and solo songs.  Track-list is given below:

1. VITER  and  KINGS & BEGGARS  - “Diva Ruzha”


2. KINGS & BEGGARS - “Ai Vis Lo Lop”


3. VITER  and  KINGS & BEGGARS  - “Vänner och fränder”


4. KINGS & BEGGARS  and VITER  - “Migla, Migla, Rasa, Rasa”


5. VITER  - “Chycheri”

All songs on current CD have traditional roots but they will appear in completely different form. Songs were performed in four languages – Ukrainian, Swedish, Latvian and old French. Music for “Migla, Migla, Rasa, Rasa” was written by SKYFORGER, lyrics – traditional.
 

This album is quite experimental in many ways. The main conceptual point of the current work was an attempt to integrate such things as Carpathian folklore with a Swedish native song, to perform European traditional music by means of medieval instruments with appropriate arrangement; and at last to present an unexpected sounding of all these compositions.
 

The work over the album was performed in three recording studios during Autumn 2010 – Winter 2011.
 

None of the keyboards and samples were used in the recording process – dozens of various traditional and medieval instruments (precisely - 35) were recorded live. Their complete list will be mentioned in the CD booklet as well as the information concerning their appearance in the songs.
 

Unique handmade instruments made by VITER members – Heracleum horns were used in a title song. They are 3 meters long thus 3 times wider then common Ukrainian Trembita.
 

Professional artist Yuriy Koval, well known for his portrait artworks for the first two KRODA albums worked over the album cover.
 

This CD will be released as a limited collection digipack.
