This is the page about Arpian, The BY leader, composer and creator.
I'll try to give you a brief info about myself, what I do with my life and music, so you could see who I am. Here's some pics of me, and some info and contacts.
Well, to start with, I was born on February, 25th 1987. Spent my life in musical school (9 years). Played accordion, piano. After I took a guitar... My 14-teen experience was the greatest :)
I started to play after my brother, I was really enjoying him playing. After 3 years of acoustic guitar, I got my first electric one. That was a nice one-hundred-bucks stick with smth. called strings... And I started to play Metallica that I really enjoyed.
That was exactly the time in college, when I started to write music. It all started like in stories with a love to a girl... Yes, my firs song was a love romance... After she f@#ed me (not literally :), I wrote my first hardcore song 'bout suicide...
Since then almost all songs styled Hard Rock or Alternative. I was mostly inspired by System of a Down, Static-X, Metallica, Nickelback, Rammstein.
When suddenly I decided to make my own band. After some time the name The BY appeared, as an international sign for Belarus, plus, the way you pronounce it: [za | bi | u'aj], in Russian means "Don't give a f@$k" :)
I changed a lot of bands. I was guitar-player, singer, drummer... Was singing Japanese Rock for one year. Music by The Gazette, Dir en Grey.
Simultaneously I was working on different projects, different music. I created DJ Arpian project, New page and Bank-Note, together with one of my friends. You can find its music here, on web-site.
Nowadays, all music I write mostly got affected by 00mph!, one nice German band.
So far music is being written in Russian, English and Belarusian languages.
Now you know, who I am. If you want to ask smth. - there's a Forum for your questions. Shoot!
