Pila Filorum - Invidious

It was really cool to cover the whole "Constellations" album. A lot of work were done, so much riffs were learned, so much video shots were made. But I really didn't expect the count of views will be so poor. Anyway thanks to each of you, who commented and waited for every cover. You motivate me to make videos!

Many thanks to each of you!

The last cover of 2023 year will be dropped 25th December.

Pila Filorum

I have a favorite band and a favorite album. A long time ago, when I first met the band, I had probably been playing guitar for a couple of years and I had a dream of not just learning the entire album of the band, but making an instrumental version of it. The group’s songs are structurally, meterically and technically difficult to perform; I couldn’t play anything at that time, so I put the dream aside (that’s why it’s a dream, because it shouldn’t come true).

Many years later, my skill improved, I began to try to replay the band’s songs and record them. Then it all came down to two things: 1 - I had a very bad guitar for recording, 2 - I did not have money to mix the songs.

Another problem is that I am a perfectionist in terms of replaying songs, I want to play exactly the way the song was originally composed and recorded. There are tablatures online, but they are not accurate, so I watched a lot of concerts trying to correct the notes.

In 2013, I accidentally found out that a website had been launched that officially sold sheet music by different bands. I bought all these notes for all the instruments so that the result would be as close as possible to the original. All that remained was to solve the problem with the guitar and mixing.

In 2020 I finally bought a new guitar, and in 2023 I found an engineer work I liked.

And from March to September 2023, I recorded these 12 legendary songs and shot great videos. It’s very difficult to learn it all and record it, and then film and edit it. But I hope you enjoy my work!

Dream came true!
