I wrote this special song in 1998 after I was back from St. Petersburg, Russia.
And I wrote lyrics in 2007 for My friend's wedding in Moscow, and sung it by myself :-)

I've often played this song with some musicians in different arrangements.
Now I love this MASELLICA version very much!

I Will Always Be

Vocal: Ellina Erika

My old friend Alex  ashumm  needs your help.
His wife Lena was killed by a heartless driver's car at Yasenevaya street, Moscow on 13th May.

He needs witnesses! If you live in Moscow, please read his journal and if you know anything about it, please help him!!

Укроп в моем саду сегодня :-)
Dill in my garden today :-)

I've planted it again a few months ago...

"Usher Waltz" is a song inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher"
Written by Nikita Koshkin. I've met this amazing song about 10 years ago.
I was so impressed, possessed by the song and I thought I wanna try to play it immediately.
Playing this song is really fun but also very difficult. I couldn't play it well at that time.
I played it after a long time, it's been a few years since I played it last time...
Watch it in "HQ" mode if your connection speed is fast enough.

Yeah, it's still hard to play... I'll keep trying :-)

Sakura has gone and now everything's began to be green...
I always feel a little melancholy at that moment, however, I'm already looking forward to summer :-)

I've played "Sakura Variations" again and recorded it.
Hope you enjoy it with these photos :-)
