The Strange Case of 2. Rouletteka! and 20. Cry and The Final Video of Ruslana Korshunova

Track 2. Rouletteka! off the record of the same name. This song is peculiar in its strange, un-explainable format that seems to 'sync' to the final footage of Ruslana Korshunova taken by Erik Madigan Heck. Note that the video clips seem to change at important junctures in the song, along with her body motions, and especially Ruslana's eye movements which seem to match the songs transitions. Other interesting features include the rubber band snapping to the beat, Ruslana backing up to the wall echoes her eventual death from falling right as I say "Die for Me". This song is quite possibly one of my darkest compositions more or less because of this odd synchronicity, and it really adds a dark tone to Hecks grainy super 8 footage. While this song adds a dark complexion to the video, Heck was said to have described Ruslana as 'chatty and cheerful, smoking cigarettes between shoots'. Interestingly enough, Rouletteka! was not written about Ruslana, It was actually written about a Russian girl named Galina Yakimova, but as fate would have it Ruslana took the song for herself. The video plays twice exactly to the song with a one second break in the middle, when this was discovered, it was discovered on accident while mixing the song and watching the video off Youtube. Since the video only plays once, I had to quickly press replay which is where that space comes in to play in the middle of the song. When this song was recorded, it was recorded with 3 basic parts: the main song, the outro, and the coda at the end. It was decided before this discovery that the third part-the coda would be separated and made the coda at the end of the record to sort of sum it up, Strangely enough the two main parts of Roulettka! end exactly where this coda picks up. Sometimes there are just things in life that are not explainable, and to this day it still gives me chills when I watch it. You just can't write a song in September of 2011 and find out a few months later in Oct. 2011 that it syncs very well, the creepiness factor is through the roof. I didn't sit here and try to compose a song to this video. That would be impossible, tedious, and silly.
