yura popov

In the begging there were only progressive and techno and then the humanity appeared...))
Yura began his career in the beginning of 1998 in his native city Rostov-on-Don.It's all began occasionally due to the simple music composing software. It was his first attempts to produce his own tracks and nobody knows when he will become professional in this field.A year later his first tracks were included in local compilations.His project was named Impulse and it was very commercial, but he was 18 and he found it's funny.There were two people in project, they were producing music together, drink and smoke together. It was a good time when you think that all door are open for you and just enjoying the life. There was a time when 2 tracks speed garage was played everywhere.Then after a years of constant gigs their music transformed into break beat with hip hop lyrics.It was easy to make and play tracks in such a way, but it was leading to degradation, and became uninteresting, as a work. So, brake-up of the project was inevitable because everybody of us had different views on making music, but then we didn’t understand what the problem was. As a musician I didn’t agree with the tracks which were made primitively, I just wanted to write something new and interesting, following the club format.In 2003 the project was broken up finally and for a long time I couldn’t focus on working. I tried to make some tracks with own vocal, but then I decided that it was quiet not what I want. I found that I didn’t want to pay attention on voice parts, because I was interested only in music. I would like to use new synthesizers, plug-ins, effects, and at last I intended to make progressive and techno music.In a couple of years, in 2005 I had been on one of the local festivals on the Black sea cost where I found that electronic music was what I want to be engaged.I had felt the club atmosphere and the spirit of electronic music made me crazy. I began to pay significant attention to this. I tried to experiment with alive and electronic sound. I cooperated with vocalists, guitarists, even drummers, but eventually I understood that I need nobody except my computer.In 2007 we created the project «Viza». It was consist of me and my girlfriend Lera. She was engaged in a vocal and we inserted her voice parts in our tracks. But the project was commercial again and I wasn’t satisfied with it. I found that I want to make a solo career!So, in 2008 I had signed a part of tracks with the name of Yura Popov. I began to pay a lot of attention to making tracks instead of records of voice parts, or to search of vocalists. I had made reassessment of the personal values and have found harmony with myself.By the end of 2008 some singles and remixes will be done under my name. In the future I’m going to make a solo jet-sets and alive performances. The Process of writing songs helps me to show some convenient programs. The basic sequencer is abelton, by the way I have started to use it in recent time, before I used cubase. It helped me to reveal my personality as a musician.I discovered new things using abelton, what I had never done with cubase. All my solo tracks were written in this program. It is very convenient for me, it gives me all I want. And I can make all easier, better and fastly. Also I use VST synthesizers Crono X, Plasticz, Pro 53, Albino, Minimoog, dramas machine Battery, a package of plug-ins from Wave and some similar simple adaptations... In the future I’m going to get a new instruments.Now I spend a lot of time in the studio and write new tracks. Also in our native city we organize the closed parties in small cosy clubs. These parties are for only a few amount of people, approximately it is 200-300 persons, but there we feel easy and do only what we really love.
Good luck to you!
