Please contact me before ordering, so we can discuss track details. Thank you!
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!

Interview with Dmitry Karev
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I have a lot of tracks that I recorded accordion for and I really like how they are turned out. Also I am working with famous musicians in Russia, Moscow.

Thanks for your time!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am upgrading my studio to make it as comfortable for recording as possible. Thinking about adding stereo recording option as well.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
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...

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Usually I ask what they need in details.
