…Big art always
brings joy. It may be the only criterion to distinguish temporary,
small art from the art of eternity. Let the message it embodies be
tragic, but joy comes from the mere fact that it is embodied. M.Voloshin Greetings from Little Tragedies! Feel free to sign our guestbook. News 03/28/08 We added a 1-minute sample of Little Tragedies' Inferno song. Release of the CD collection (Musea) is scheduled for June. 01/27/08 The "Cross", new Little Tragedies album recorded last August has been mastered and is now ready to go. But for certain reasons beyond our control it cannot be released before November. We'll have to be patient :o) 01/21/08 We confirmed our participation in the next joint project of Colossus & Musea - this time based on the 2nd part of Dante's "Divine Comedy" called Purgatory. With a 7-minute song to Canto 14 Little Tragedies will appear on the 2nd CD of the 3CD Purgatorio set (see the other bands).  According to the project coordinator, the song collection based on the 1st part of the "Divine Comedy" - Inferno - has all the chances to become the best prog-release of 2008. Well, altogether we can make it happen! 12/20/07 Below is a literally HOME-made video clip: Gennady Ilyin writing the score of the new Little Tragedies album (the soundtrack is a piece from that album).
11/14/07 To facilitate your impressions of the video clip we thought you might want to listen to the same part of the Spaghetti suite recordered in the studio in August 2007 (mixed, but not mastered). Of course, on this recording Gennady is playing a real MiniMoog (instead of synthesizers as on the video clip). 11/10/07 One of our friends sneaked in with a camera and made a video clip of us practicing the song for the Spaghetti Epic 3 project. There it is. Kursk, April 2007. Sorry for the sound quality...
11/03/07 We opened a guestbook. You are welcome to leave your messages there. You can also post your feedback at our forum. In case you are wondering, the forum works all right, in spite of the reply counter showing "0" and wrong dates. We contacted the support service a few times, but there seems to be nothing they can do to fix this :( 10/21/07 MALS is planning to reissue "The Sun of the Spirit" and "Porcelain Pavilion". We are hoping to make new booklets and add bonus tracks. 09/30/07 Now you can order Little Tragedies' CDs directly from our web page! Please note that ordering from us gives financial support to the band. We will appreciate it! 09/26/07 We are happy to announce that "Little Tragedies" recorded their 20-minute suite for the Colossus & Musea project "Spaghetti Epic 3" and the instrumental composition for the "Inferno" 3CD set (see more information below). The band is now working on their new album called "The Cross". 08/31/07 "Chinese Songs. Part II" is now available! 07/26/07 Hi! Now you can listen to more mp3 samples. Enjoy! 07/24/07 We added lots of poems to our lyrics section, from "The Sun of the Spirit" to the brand new "Chinese Songs. Part II". Finally you will know what Little Tragedies songs were about! With some of the translations (especially for "Chinese Songs") you can even sing along :o) 06/30/07
Today we are celebrating the official release of "Chinese
Songs. Part I" - the brand new album by Little Tragedies! 03/23/07
Good news! Little
Tragedies will join the new Musea & Colossus
project "Inferno"
(Hell) based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy".
03/11/07 Hi everybody! The most recent interview of Gennady Ilyin is now posted at Arlequins in both English and Italian. G.Ilyin introduces the other musicians of the band, shares his thoughts about music and musicians, tells about the influence of other composers, the role of improvisation in his music, his connection to the poetry of N.Gumilev and, finally, reveals the new plans of the band. 03/04/07 We are going to participate in a joint project of Musea label (France) and Colossus Magazine (Finland) called “Spaghetti Epic 3”! Here is the CD cover image. Little Tragedies will contribute a 21-minute suite based on Ennio Morricone’s themes to the film “The Great Silence”. The music is already composed, written down and will hopefully be recorded in August 2007. More information on the project is available at Colossus' website. 10/11/06 Gennady Ilyin's latest interview explaining the concept and lyrics of "The Sixth Sense" is now available at Nucleus' website. 10/09/06 Little Tragedies recorded a new album entitled “Chinese Songs” to the verses of 8-12th century Chinese poets. Again it has Russian vocals, but we will try to provide English translation of each song for our international audience. It’s a double CD again, and we hope MALS will kindly release it next year. So watch for our news! 09/15/06 The band is playing a concert in Kursk, Russia. Hope it will be your home city one day… 09/01/06 “The Sixth Sense” has finally come out!

The first batch will be completely in Russian. The international version with an English CD cover will come out later. Music samples from “New Faust” and “The Sixth Sense” are available at the label's website. 03/26/06 “Little Tragedies” are going to perform at InProg-2006, the International Progressive Music Festival in Moscow, on Sunday, April 23, at 6:00 p.m. in “B2” Club. They will play a new album based on the verses of mediaeval Chinese poets (in Russian translation). You are welcome to come! 03/24/06 “Return” is coming out in Russia today! Last September this album was released by Musea Records, France, and now, thanks to the MALS label in Moscow, it’s available with a Russian CD cover. |
