Сколько песен еще недопето
Сколько стихов недописаных
И мог бы допеть, да вот смысла-то нету - 
Время пройдет и забудут о них...  (2003) 

Discoverygraphy of Dmitry Gorodnichy

This site is designed to safe-guard the ideas, feelings and thoughts I had. Don't expect a studio clear recording. - Most of the songs are recorded live and performed by people who are not professional musicians (but incidentally all of whom have master and doctorate degrees in science). It's still magic to me how sometimes I hear those melodies inside me...

 "Our Memories"   
A rhapsody for piano composed and played by my dad as dedication to my mom in December 2002.

Just poetry


Just thoughts & aphorisms


My tutorials: here


From "An unfinished interview with myself"

- You ask me how I write songs? - They are being born ("rozhdautya") themselves... From a feeling to the living enitity. , ... just like a child: from love to living body. //
- To me a song is a felling delivered through the lyrics and a melody, and the melody is something you play or whistle just by itself and its Original. By how many original songs can a humankind write, if the number of notes and chords is so limited?... Each original song is therefore a pearl, and you may spent all your life and never find it. Only inspired may... // - When an Original Song arrives, you know it right away, but then it takes lots of effort to finish it to the level shareable with others..
