My music

iMak7tune is the name of my channel on SoundCloud, here is the link https://soundcloud.com/ivan-makeyenko

I write all kinds of songs, from something that is strongly influenced by The Beatles or Red Hot Chili Peppers to reggae and rap, as well as nerdy songs about random subjects, such as neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light, gargling your throat when it's sore, and many other subject.

Below I will include a few links to the songs I like best.

Universe

I think this is the most beautiful song I've written so far. This is an acoustic version, just me, my guitar and the beautiful feelings that make everything click. I still haven't recorded another version of the song, the way it should be, which is a little Maroon 5ish, but I like this version too.




Lallaboolawoah

This is the best quality recording I've ever done. Most of the credit for this goes to my good old friend Anton Kulagin. We used to have a band together. He's super multitalented and in addition to doing the amazing sound engineering job he played the guitar, the bass and the drums (I guess that's pretty much everything except for vocals, but he did the 'whoo' part in the beginning). And now it's time it's time to let you in on a little secret. How do you like the name? It's called this because during one of the first takes I fumbled at first line of the song 'Lying in a bed...' and sang something like 'Lallaboolawoah'.



I Will Find A Reason

This one is beautiful too. And it's the most complicated song I ever recorded on my iPad.



Math

Well I just love math. This song was written during my year at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Lomonosov Moscow State University. Recorded on my iPad.



Smile (reggae)

I wrote this one when I was 9 or so, but it took about 12 years to record it. It's a very raw version, just playing live. It sound very rough in a several parts, but I hope it can make you feel the Jamaican vibes!



Versos

My attempt at rapping. It's just my voice, no beat. I really like the lyrics, but I certainly gotta work on my delivery.
