November 2008 has become significant for me not only because of my birthday, but due to my FIRST BASS ALBUM, a very special event in my musical career! I began working on this album at the beginning of 2008, but I had been giving a birth to the idea for several years.

Time-wheel has been spinning, and life has been going on, the playing has been changing for the better as well as the technique and the country, where I live. Computers have rushed into life, thus having added new color and new studio opportunities! The new musical atmosphere has starting heating at a full speed! A great number of groups and wonderful players, who finished their carries at the first half of the nineties, have begun waking up after a long hibernation. Old groups began reuniting, and having breathed in a new century, have started playing better, more beautifully and colorfully! And excellent, fashionable, young and very bright groups are the stimulus for this!

I have also been changing, laughing, crying and listening to music again and again!

My long-standing dream about a five-string bass guitar has been altering into a six-string one. I have just been crazy about such a wide, beautiful and rather stylish range of a six-string bass guitar! Colors have been condensing, and the wallpaper of my PC was decorated by a picture of John Mayunga with his wonderful six-string bass guitar, and more often my player played John Patitucci, Steve Bailey, Stanley Clarke and Billy "Buddah" Dickens...

Feng-Shui has done its work. On a beautiful, warm May afternoon I took my six-string ESP LTD B206 baby into my hands and since that time I don't let it go! So, for almost a year I have worked hard on this album! I was planning to finish it at the beginning of September, but the process went on for 2 months more. Nevertheless, I do not regret at all. During these 2 unplanned months, I corrected a lot for the better. I can confidently name this work as a hand-made piece! I personally supervised, produced and mixed the recording. I could entrust this work to nobody!

Eight wonderful years spent in radio studios have taught me to create small masterpieces dressed for broadcasting, commercials as well as interesting works of young groups.

The album is comprised of 14 tracks - 12 complete compositions and one Intro and one Outro.
Album is moderately ethnic.
Here my Kyrgyz roots fused into common and remarkable trio of the bass guitar, Temir-Komuz (Kyrgyz jew harp) and scat vocal style.
Also drums and percussion play an important role in the album.
And one cannot find any other instruments in this album!
Yes, indeed, this is a really bass album!
Here, the bass guitar plays three basic roles:
Bass Solo
Bass Rhythm
Bass Groove

The whole album is not available yet.
I keep the album waiting for a special moment.
I believe that any album should be logically completed.
And I think that the most normal logic end is when an album is released on a good license and beautiful disk. This is what I have been busy with now.
I hope that the CD will be released in the near future!

P.S. My new album is unique in a way, but it is necessary to remember that I am not the first and not the last one in the world of the bass guitar art. However I am sure I have managed to make good contribution into development of this art!
