In 2020, an amazing track was recorded in the CRAZY COMPASS planet band project, which was created by 15 musicians from almost a dozen countries around the world. Most of them are members of the Meticulous Midgets label and are familiar to our readers and listeners from their own works posted on the website and in radio rotation. The single Way to the Sun united everyone in an attempt to create together, in a non-standard experiment, thanks to which the unique properties of each individual bright performer manifested and blossomed in a single impulse, in a friendly gesture and positive effort, embodied in a wonderful sound creation that became a new arrangement for the song "Way to the Sun". In addition, a picture was painted to the music, which became the symbol of this song and its visual projection.
The track features a variety of instruments: from the familiar electric and acoustic guitars, bass, keyboards, mixed with ukulele, sitar, accordion, whistles, bells and tambourines, ocarina, kalimba, Tibetan bowls, metallophones, tambourine, harps, harmonica, ethno drums, percussion... along with clapping and singing... with a great violin solo!, playing gyroscope and scotch tape, braid and comb!)...
We want to draw attention to each participant of the collaboration individually, so below there are direct links to their pages where you can learn more about each of them.
(The track was released in support of the Yasny-Svetly CD "MishuraMira" with the original version of the song:
