Fan Fridays: Artem Kondrashov

I must be on a Russia kick lately, because we’ve got another dose of content from across the Pacific for you courtesy of one Artem Kondrashov, who has produced Russian-language covers of popular songs from the Sonic franchise. For the most part, this consists of layering new vocals over the original instrumentals, and it’s really fun to see that the original essence of a song can remain so intact after its lyrics get translated into a completely different language. Coincidentally, the person who translated the lyrics into Russian is also working with Zarumo Studio on the fan film we featured last time, so that’s a fun but of synergy for you.
We’ve got three covers for you below: His World from Sonic 06, Shining Road from Sonic X, and Live and Learn. We thank Dimitry for bringing Artem’s work to our attention. As always, we’re on the lookout for fan works to spotlight, so if you have a project you want the world to know about, send us a link at fansonfriday@tssznews.com!
