Becasso Office.



A pencil - is a subject designated for drawing. The traces of such activity could be words, pictures and signs (aka: literature, painting and music). That's why a pencil is the primary tool of BO.
...And now about BO itself. We are a group of authors from Moscow's suburbs (Russia), and we do... well... "tna" is probably too pathetic and immodest word... Although, why would we underrate ourselves? Yes goddammit! We are actually trying to create something, that can be of interest to a consumer (though maybe not an average one) and not to fall into a slow moving swampy mass of a contemporary showbiz.
You are to judge whether we are successful or not.

1997. 43:44 min, 346 k
This is our first joint project It is very experimental from the very beginning to the very end. This is the period of apprenticeship in all areas of music making and animation, our heads are full of ideas, all this mess is too difficult to digest at once - as a result we have an album with the psychotropic rhythms blended with the hints to a melody, and a pretentious cover challenging all the human nature is in the center of composition. Only the most sturdy listeners and midi-sound fans are capable of listening to this from the beginning to end.

  1. Unhappy
  2. Crazy Jazz
  3. A?
  4. I'm glad to see
  5. N's yies

  10. to be with you
  11. Come!
  12. Sleeping on the banch
  13. Thinks as a horses
  14. the train to the south
  15. Don't you think so?
  16. Let me go, please
  17. If i can kill
  18. Eat the ryabchik!

1998. 36:25 min, 212 k
We more or less managed to organize our talents to develop the Bzdoba project into a single concept in both sound and animation ptnas. All compositions in the album are re-mixes of popular (or at least recognizable) themes of Russian and foreign authors. The cover is slim and serious as mentors in Dickens' novels. The musical smiles toward the absolute geniuses are full of adolescent maximalism and childish insolence.

  1. Complimentary (author of music is unrecognized)
  2. Remember (old Russian romance)
  3. What a flower (author of music is unrecognized)
  4. Tired of nice weather (author of music is unrecognized)
  5. Good night, caravan (mix of two themes: popular Russian music from a TV-show for kids, and D. Ellington's Caravan)
  6. Paris in the winter (G. Johns)
  7. Rejected (Cabaret-duet "Academy")
  8. MUR (old Moscow urban romance)
  9. Four steps (author of music is unrecognized)
  10. Kostya (author of music is unrecognized)
  11. Santa Barbara (music from the movie of the same name)

This is the most serious project in the area of midi-sound. The concept of the album was verified with the micron precision, as was checked every stroke of the cover, as was tuned every note in compositions. This is one of our favorite works.

  1. In love - at first
  2. In love - nothing's happend
  3. In love - don't say anything
  4. In love - pressure
  5. In love - hating you

  7. In love - between lifes
  8. I love you (valtz)

Special for Anyok.
1999. 15:08 min, 4.7 Mb
This is an accidentally and hurriedly created minion. All songs are recorded at 3am specially for Anyok. The songs are old, this is a mingle of soviet rock, authors songs, simplified jazz, and genuine spring mood. The cover is the author's picture taken the same morning, during the finalization [сведения] of compositions (also hastily).
  1. Dream territory
  2. February
  3. Prison
  4. Snow
  5. I tell you hello

This is an industrial project. The first experience in the area of real sound. Multitude of steam locomotives and other machines. The cover reiterates the real photograph (the photos are a separate story by itself - we were circling the Moscow suburbs in search of the heaviest industrial views). The compositions' themes are as industrially simple as a lathe.

  1. first train
  2. mobille mood
  3. metro mood
  4. children's mood
  5. downtown mood
  6. factory mood
  7. last train
