The NO.

I like the scary feeling in music, but also the versatility of arts. Black metal is utterly not for me and Lacrimosa is probably too one-sided, too. So, I have tried to make something fresh, non-banal, non-monotonous, with hints at black metal album intros & outros, with sometimes somewhat scary vocals; with hints at ambient, noise, this way of making music; with hints at progressive rock in terms of innovative inventions and especially unexpectedness. My music is of course unexpected at many points. This is for sure.

 

However, since it is all made on a casual notebook by using the free samples from GG's Scraping The Barrel Box Set or simply by copypasting excerpts from some well-known East-European pop or rock songs (then to mutilate them heavily until noone is able to identify them, usually!), of course, the resulting sound is very raw, very amateur in quality. 128 Kbps, I made it in Audacity, one track was even made in mono (intentionally). There are obvious clicks and the like abound.

 

I personally like classic prog, prefer the older times to the 2000s, like retro (especially, theSoviet songs, including great WWII ones like The Sacred War (power metal of the 40s, as I call it), Katyusha, Three Tankmen, At The City Of Kronshtadt, etc.). I cannot say I like the modern day BD and such stuff - fine quality DVD and fine quality Audio CD are what I think is the final top. I listen to most recordings in 128 Kbps mp3, btw. Clarity issues, depths are not my hobbies.

 

I think that maybe at some point with all those clicks removed, polished (and tested in terms of the legality of using other bands' music fragments), this disc will be released officially. For me it is not that important, though. This is the true art. I wanted to create it, no matter how other people will treat it. I felt that I had to make it. This is what makes it the true art for me. For me. I am not that crazy to believe every listener should think the way I do...

 

As of now, nine out of eleven tracks are made. I have posted them all on YouTube.

You can watch those audios either from https://gg-etc.at.ua/theno1.html or directly from YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtYxb5NGVLmhu4WzICSLlGbvqV87Cwl7I

 

I can say that I am mad about this my music and adore it . But it's neither quite doom metal, nor quite ambient, nor quite your progressive classics. It is hardly metal at all, because there is little use of guitars in the samples that I used, at all.

 

What I tend to describe it is "neurotic raw atmospheric scary diverse dark sample-based ambient" . Some pieces do sound close to early Lacrimosa, to my ears. Anyway, I think that maybe some of you people could also like it. Please notice that the track no. 3 contains recordings of what can be considered real female orgasms, so it's not for children, definitely.

 

Also, I can say that if you don't like the style of one of those 9 compositions, you may give a try to all the rest, since each of them is different in style.

 

Ehm, you say in the rules that there must be complete possible information. Feel free to ask me anything. I would be glad not to read really 100% negative commentaries. I tried relatively hard, after all.

 

Thanks for your attention!

 

Goodbye! Good listening!

 

P.S. Yes, I know, there are quite a few audible clicks. It is just testing of what it might be. Also, it is a guarantee that nobody will download it from YT to pretend it is his/hers to have a profit from it...

 

I wanted the mystery to be kept as long as possible. But if you insist: when I was a beginning teenager I dreamt of creating the real rock band like say Aerosmith (I haven't heard of prog back then). I have coupled my favourite number (as of then) with my fave fruit (as of then). It has brought me the name Ninth Orange. In short, NO. This band's name is already about 23 years old, though there is no band as such to this name.

 

Since I do not take all this scary stuff put in music seriously, this album is of course a bit of parody. The Eastern Slavic languages do not have the concept of articles. We traditionally confuse a/the/lack_of_them because this concept is alien to us. I have added The to NO just for joke.

 

It's just a joke. All of it. However, it's not pure circus. To those who do not know some clues about these songs they should be perceived with all the seriousness and scariness.

The funny thing that I didn't mention earlier is that being a native Russian speaker, a few years ago I have realized that if translated in Russian Ninth Orange becomes Devyaty Apelsin - that is, DA (that is, YES)! That was incredible. The mystics of the highest calibre.

Everything is right there!

Please remember: By no means is it satanic, occult, magick(al). By no means was I intending to call somebody to kill himself/herself/themselves or anybody else. It is just a pure art created for the art's sake.
