On March 16, Kirpichi celebrated their 18th anniversary at Aurora.

I tried editing a short backstage clip from the soundcheck. I shot 10 minutes, but in the end cut everything down to one minute. Anton, our lighting designer, did a really cool light show at this concert.

The Diablo Swing Orchestra concert from Sweden at Aurora on February 23 was unexpectedly great. Based on the description «metal, operatic vocals, orchestral instruments», I expected some gloomy Scandinavian death metal with summoning Satan. But the band was a very pleasant surprise.

Something very strange happened with the sound, though. It recorded only into the left channel, so I had to fix it, although I checked the gear and everything seemed fine.

Today (well, already yesterday) I filmed The Ghost Inside from the States at Arktika. Surprisingly, the camera microphone held up. The sound on stage is of course completely different, but the result turned out dynamic.

I got back from Thailand. On the way home I had to wait six hours at night at Phuket airport before check-in for my flight started. I was really counting on the Irish pub at the airport, but it turned out it was open only until 11 pm. As a result, everything at the airport was closed except the flight check-in counters. During those six hours I explored all three floors of the airport, shot some video, and even found a power outlet to recharge.
