Hi! My name is Dmitry Karev. I'm a professional accordion player with more than 15 years of gig and studio experience!
I will record pro quality accordion tracks for your song in any genre! If you want accordion in your track, but you don't have definite part in mind - that's not a problem, I'll compose one for you! Of course, if you have sheet music or you need me to pick something up by ear - that's completely fine as well!
For recording I use my top quality Italian accordion - Bugari Seniorfisa. Also I have different microphones to chose from for different situations!
For video recording I use a studio lights and background and multiple cameras. I can also shoot video outdoors!
Thanks for your attention! Looking forward to working with you!

A: Yes, there is Artyom Koryapin - he is a great professional that records full brass section.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: In my case, there is not much of digital in accordion sphere :-) There are digital accordions but they sound pretty bad, so analog (or acoustic), I guess...
