ДАРАСТ the band
but during the year
two of members decide to left
the group because their vision and plans
didnt connect with the band's interests
and that is okay
that is life
and we must all follow our hearts and connect our inner feelings with outer reality.
its like the big bang theory: something big connect us on the beginning
but then our ways separate, because we dont associate
ourselves with the CURRENT REALITY SITUATION AND WANT TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE in another place.
the reason why we keep og naming after 2 of members left more than "people already know us by this name".
i think darast is more than just combination of letters:
its about the one and only spirit that united us and show us that passion to your dreams is possible after falls.

of course i started to help as much as i can to the band as an art director and visual artist with posters for events and documentation. i thought and felt that it is very important, im watching the history in the making of something legendary. and also i performed on every single concert with guys. yes, one song, you can say, why you spend your time and hours and hours for just one song? i was working with stage fright and in general, the fear of manifestation in front of the world. and when you choose to make music, you have no options not to show up, so I began to directly fight my fear and remove the internal clamps that prevented me from living.
time passed by and two members of the band in different time decided to leave the band. i continued stay with guys and was unofficial band member with (already) 2 written songs and artworks for them. i felt very strange, because im always near but im just... on the featuring and keep perform on every single concert, and didnt understand should i leave all the group chats just to give guys some space or what is going on? why i feel left out? maybe my time as creative helper is up?
but hahaha
no.
it was not that simple.
because when you actually want something – it would find you no matter what. you never know how, you never know when. but it is coming to you because it wants you as much as you want it.
lets back to my childhood memories and dreams about music.
the first instrument i tried was a piano. my brother loved piano very much and he explored the solfegio with passion. i never met people like him who would say "omg yes i looooved solfegio in music school it was my the most favorite subject". he was and he still the very unique mind.
he teached me how to play the first notes of emperor march from star wars when i was a little girl. it blowed my mind and actually....i think it sowed a desire in me to start making music someday. but idk why i was scared to tell parents that i want to learn music too, they wouldnt reject this if i say.
when i started to learn how to produce music in digital apps i didnt know anything about theory and the basic rules of rhythms. i wanted to understand my sound without any rules, like a child. but i knew that i have to start my education journey in music language and theory somehow and someday. i knew the people from my life who can teach me, i talked to them about this and they actually were open with their heart to help me. buuuut.... it didn't go beyond talking. time was not right for that start.
and then i went as xmas tree girl for the project that my friend set designed. i had to only create beautiful xmas tree for the set of christmas episode of reality show, and there i met a beautiful soul woman - Elena Pechernikova, who was a lunch lady for the crew of project. She was a real cute chatterbox, and for the end of the day of shooting we met at the WC and сhatted about everything. and in the middle of the dialogue she dropped the info about her actual work as a composer. i stopped her and answer her a question: "wait, are you a composer???" she said yes, and i paid my respects and offered my help as an illustrator to help her finish a children's book on solfeggio, because I've always dreamed of doing something for children's printing. we share contacts with each other and walked out from the WC.
but minutes later we crossed paths again and then she asked me about my experience and what im doing for life. i started to tell her a story about my visual guru experience and dreams about music making, and when she heard about my desire to learn music - she suggest me to share opportunities with each other. She will teach me the music theory with practice on piano to help me understand everything for creating illustrations. I accept this suggestion and when i came to my first lesson and touched the piano after long long time without fear i felt that YES. this is my instrument. after a very long long way, after all denying in my life and searching for the another instrument for me (yes i tried a lot of times guitar and bass guitar buttttttt i had to accept that i dont like guitars. i love strings and their sound and their potential to create something, but not the actual instrument, cause it feels very uncomfortable for me) and you know what? my close existence with a band started make a lot of sense. it was all about the time. I became responsible for the instrument – instrument that was missing in our rock orchestra. THE SYNTH.
finally omg.
yes.
and thank god everybody in the group supported me and very patient with my low skills of playing and knowing the theory. they allow me to practise with them, learn from them and create with them.
thank you life
you are beautiful
thank you god
for letting myself be on the place where i am now.
everything needs time.
and ill repeat it again: if you want something very hard and you work hard on it, you will meet with each other on the rightest time of life journey.
if somebody said to me year ago from the moment that i wrote this text that my life will be like that and im gonna do and learn everything i ever wanted - i would laugh. but everything is possible in this life if you stay true to yourself.
if something didnt work out - nah, it just cleared the space for what you actually need, what actually need your soul.
i hope more people will cancel the fear in their mind and allow themselves to dream and make, for the beginning, micro steps for their happiness.

i hope more people will cancel the fear in their mind and allow themselves to dream and make, for the beginning, micro steps for their happiness.
for the first time in my life i started to express myself in every possible way because of these people. i started to express myself not for the commercials projects, not for the big boss over our heads, just for myself and for art, in honor of the beauty of the process.
it is the freedom - allowing yourself the experiments with visuals and sounds and meanings. and the most precious is the people around you who support your ideas and let you be yourself.
nobody of us could even imagine that years later we gonna connect
and create beautiful things. we were all broken and lost that time.
we wanted to feel warm and acceptance, and everyone needed some hope for living life.
and the ZION and Old School Bar (it was in the same building, but now it closed) at Maryno District gifted us special moments
with a lot of smiles
and ability to save the purity of the soul's intentions in dark
cold times in 2022 when faith not in the future but the tomorrow day was in great doubt.
it bring us home and family feeling
that we all needed on that times
thank you
Kolya and Kolya
you are the greatest men with wide warm hearts.

that actually for the long time of my life i denying rock music in russian,
i didnt like it at all before i start to learn more about the culture of country where i was born and where i live.
and i notice this funny pattern in my life: you deny something -> to understand -> for accept this -> and to find yourself in this
my teenager version is laughing at me right now because i became the thing i didnt like. and its not only about the music ^___^

on the end of band's second jam session i let myself share my idea on the bass riff... i was so shy and scared to share this so i sneaked to my dearest friend tasya and whispered to her very quiet the words that came to my mind..... I didn't feel comfortable taking the microphone in front of everyone and voicing the idea loudly. but tasya said to me: sing it.
and you know what?
on the next jam session we finished it.
and after i sang it from the top of my lungs i walked to the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and got shocked. my face changed. i could feel every muscle. for the first time in my life I could relax my face and smile broadly without any problems. i couldnt believe my eyes that singing took the clamps off that much so they completely changed my appearance. and yes I was once again convinced that I just need to continue doing this and develop my musical thinking and vocals.
Making music which I've dreamed of all my life turned out to be so useful! hahaha
and yes i call our first month rehearsals as jam session because on every meeting we wrote for a 1 song min.
i came to the group on their second jamming session after hard months of existenial crisis. i finished at june 2024 my personal project smell you later and realised that i dont connect myself with only visual expression of myself. felt so tight. the visual life walls started squeezed me
and i choose to break them and start from the bottom.
i always dream about making and understanding music from the production process but i spend all my life on education with visual art and its history. and i thought that if i do this better than anything i have to continue do this and spend my entire life on visualising...i couldnt believe that i can do music, i can think in music. i believed that its impossible to reteach myself from extra visual thinking and seeing every idea in details before the realisation to hearing sounds. it was 2 different mind structure for me, it was easier to bury this dream and let myself learning music in another life, because its too late.
buuuut.... its never too late.
so i break the walls to build new version of me who believe in my dreams and let myself do whatever i want, because my soul needs it.
i was afraid to start, and when i started i was afraid of the future when time will come to show the world my music - because of my friends musicians who earn money from music making. i felt so small and scared because of people reaction: "why cant she mind her own buisness? its not music like everyone used to listen, she should have stayed just a visual artist, nobody gonna listen it". but it was not actually people reaction: it was the fear, maybe the devil, who wanted me to stay in my old reality and control me with fear and sow more doubts.
in october 2024 i made a break from educating myself on music to do some visual projects as an art director and artist in one face, because why not, maybe its not that bad and i still can create visuals with passion and love. hahah NO. by the end of the month i felt nothing but disappointment in myself. yes, i earned money, yes, i made actually very cool projects but in the deep of my heart i felt very unhappy.. so i decided to isolate myself from the world to heal and continue my education journey with music production. my vision suddenly blocked and i stayed alone with only my thoughts and feelings. so i started describe more about what is going on with me to myself, record them in unprofessional music notes, but just keep do something. i felt that if i stop - my spirit will leave my body and never come back.
step by step i started to feel better. and yes, i made sure that I was doing everything right. for the first time of my life i started feel the control of my own life and feeling on my way, despite my skills. I saved my life by believing in my dream, even in such a ruthless way to leave the past behind and rush into the unknown.
done away with judgment and chose the path of love and trust in myself no matter what.
and you know what?
the universe gifted me the opportunity to start something new with people who also needed a brand new start in their life and just create and make music.
it was the french kiss from the universe <3
