Most likely, you have heard about this: sometimes, way too many inner movements happen inside a single creative person. The good thing is: such cases have solutions. One of them is to separate artistic individualities and create a number of pseudonyms: each one for a different artistic occasion. That is exactly what Alexandr Velikoselsky did, and — which is nice — he has an explanation for that:

“It’s a simple charade: ‘stor by’ means big/great village. When I started making pieces that were different from what I normally was doing I needed a new personality so I got this one. Unlike my other alias, as Storby I mostly deal with composing in a classical way (cellos on the right, violins on the left). And I do have some predilections like twisting samples, making collages and mocking.”

In case you are wondering which language has “stor by” for a great village, we have an answer. It’s Swedish. Which means it will be a tough challenge for many people to pronounce this name correctly. Thanks to the author, he is not insistent on following the Swedish spelling-to-sound rules. He gives us the freedom to read it as we see it. Whew!

Anyway, whatever language you use, music speaks to all of us. So, it is always advantageous to do truly universal things. Like, for instance, pressing the play button.
