Since Bulavira had started in summer 2021, we’ve released eight tracks, each reflecting the life realities they were created in. But the general trend was getting more dark and simple And so, this chapter of Bulavira needed a proper, ultimate and somewhat upbeat conclusion, while staying traditionally raw. And with lost of riffs and bass, of course.
Meet “XYN”!
It consists of three distinct sections, for different types of bass solos: lead-y, arpeggio-y (plus some more lead-y), riff-y. It’s entirely based on Andriy’s old ideas, including one of the first riffs he ever wrote (it’s in Bandcamp bonuses). Some guitar stuff is also included, so that guitarists could also have fun. The middle part was initially envisioned with proggy guitar riffing, but due to various issues had to be replaced by the synths literally hours before upload (those ditched parts are on Bandcamp too).
And yeah, what does “XYN” even mean? The official version is that it’s a nod to “YYZ” by Rush, one of the greatest rock instrumentals and challenges for basisst. But who knows 😉
Enjoy “XYN” on Spotify and other streaming platforms. Get lots of bonus tracks on Bandcamp. Download the tabs here.
Thanks for the journey and hope to see you in the next chapter \m/
