Opus List

I keepeth account of mine opuses in the selfsame fashion as did the Viennese composers of music. Thus was I instructed at mine music school, and thus have I grown accustomed. Many a number may seem out of chronology, yet ’tis well, for some opuses I number from the moment the script was sealed and completed, whilst others bear the mark from the hour of their public release.

The list remaineth incomplete, for many of mine works linger as lost relics.
Neither do I include here works that bear not mine own name, though I may have lent mine labor as a hired hand. In this list, too, my briefer verses are wanting.

^{Opus 1:} Lips Coloured in Blood ^{— Novel (2006)}

Lips Coloured in Blood (Губы цвета крови) is a gothic novel written in Russian and the very first work I did write. Well... this is actually not quite true. I wrote many a tale and drew comics from a very tender age, but they were childish, and at this point in time, certainly lost forever. Although some of mine own youthful Flash animations may still be found in the archives of websites and portals like Newgrounds and others.

The novel Lips Coloured in Blood became the reference point of my creativity, after which I began to create art in earnest. Since 2004, the novel hath been published chapter by chapter as it was writ on many online forums and hath gained cult following among the Russian gothic community. In 2006, the novel was completed.

^{Opus 2:} The Island of Cavalier Benetis ^{— Short Story (2007)}

The Island of Cavalier Benetis was a short story that I did write sometime around 2007. I can no longer recall the details of the plot, I only remember that it was a surreal tale about folk who realizeth they are but projections in the dream of a person who is about to wake. The heroes understand that they shall cease to exist as soon as the dream ends and therefore they do all they can to prevent that person from waking.

It was a merry read and was published in some underground Russian literary magazine. I remember not the name of the magazine, but I do recall that it was aimed at experimental literature.

I consider this story a piece of lost media, but there is still a chance that someone might find that obscure literary magazine with my work.

^{Opus 3:} qdx ^{— Novel (2007)}

qdx is mine own second great novel which I did write in 2007, but it was ne'er published for it always seemed to me that the text was unfinished and required much editing and complete reworking... though my father still thinks that this is mine own best work and that the novel should be published in such form.

It is a major philosophical epic in the genre of martial arts fiction about the moral rise and fall of the "ideal man" set 'gainst the neon streets of criminal Hong Kong and the Shaolin monasteries.

Very few folk have read this manuscript—only my most trusted friends. They oft remind me of it and ask me to publish the work. And maybe someday I shall do it, but until then let that philosophy remain sacred.

^{Opus 4-29:} The Man in a Black Top Hat ^{— Short Story/Short Film (2007-2009)}

The Man in a Black Top Hat (Человек в Черном Цилиндре) is a short story I did write for my university entrance exam in St. Petersburg in the summer of 2007.

My failed teacher said that this story could not be filmed, and therefore screenwriting and directing were not for me. That's why two years later I successfully filmed this story and did participate in many a film festival with this work.

As part of one of the festivals, The Man in a Black Top Hat short film was shown at the legendary Cinémathèque Française cinema and did participate in the nomination for “Best Student Short Film of the Year” or something of the sort. Naturally, I lost, for the budget for my film was $5 — we bought some bagels along the way. The winner of the competition was the most expensive 15-minute film for $25,000. Nobody looked at our works — everyone looked only at the numbers. But I care not, for I made that film just to pass the exam, but the Parisians turned out to have good taste.

^{Opus 5:} Goddess ^{— Short Film (2008)}

Goddess is mine own first short student film. And 'tis the worst movie e'er made. 'Tis not "so bad 'tis good." 'Tis simply dreadful on every level on which a movie can be dreadful—the writing, the directing, the acting, the lighting, the set, the sound—everything.

If there be “The Worst Film in the Known Universe and Beyond,” 'tis this film with my name upon it. Dream not of taking this honor from me.

This work was shown but once. One of the most respected film directors in the world, Claude Lelouch, was present at the screening and he personally told me that the film was terrible. Thou shalt not find greater authority. After that incident, he never attended our film screenings again—so deep was his disappointment with this film.

^{Opus 6:} .19 ^{— Music Video (2008)}

.19 is a music video crafted in honor of mine late and dear friend Rodion Meshkov, known in the realm of rap as Rodnique or Da Crok (1989-2008). His untimely departure from this mortal coil inspired this homage.

The video art was pieced together from archival footage, recorded on the humble video cameras of push-button mobile phones of the mid-2000s.

— Runtime: 1.5 min

^{Opus 7:} 19' ^{— Short Film (2008)}

19' is a short film I didst create soon after the ill-fated venture of my previous work, Goddess.

This time, I endeavored to rectify the failings of mine prior directorial endeavors, yet fell prey to new missteps. I became so enraptured by the visual beauty of the film that I did forsake the thespian craft. Thus, it emerged as a classic student film.

^{Opus 9:} Hotel Noir ^{— Graphic Novel (2008-2020)}

Hotel Noir be a collection of short graphic novels, birthed from the chaos and spontaneity of unscripted inspiration. In the year 2008, I penned a multitude of screenplays (dozens, if not hundreds), yet numbered them not, in the hope they would one day be wrought into films. Hotel Noir began as a script for an erotic crime thriller of feature length, a film ne'er realized.

In time, I did post the script upon the vast reaches of the Internet, and many an artist did seize upon it, molding and reshaping it to their whims, drawing tales inspired by mine original vision. I bestowed upon these artists unfettered creative liberty. Each did weave their desires, distorting the tale until even I scarce recognize it as mine own. It hath become a collective work of unbridled chaos.

In the years 2009-2010, amidst the swell of Internet culture, the figure of Slenderman did take residence in our hotel, and I lost all dominion over the project. Yet, it is this torrent of pure creativity that endears this project to mine heart.

^{Opus 28:} What is School? ^{— Documentary Film (2009)}

What is School? (Школа — это..?) is a documentary chronicling the lives and humors of students at the School within the Russian Embassy in Hungary.

The film didst provoke a grand scandal at the Russian Embassy, for on the screen the children comport themselves as children! Such a marvel! Yet, the embassy took umbrage at this truth, nearly igniting an international uproar.

Precisely one year hence, a series entitled School (Школа) concerning the lives of schoolchildren premiered on Russian state television. The media, with much fervor, sought to stoke an international scandal, for in this series, the children comport themselves as... children. One doth wonder whence came this inspiration.

Coincidence? Perchance. However...

^{Opus 33:} Bitter! ^{— Short Film (2010)}

Bitter! (Горько!) is a short tragicomic film, mine thesis project, and a delightful chaos in its result. The film, shot in a semi-documentary style with unsteady camera work, endeavored to capture the chaos and madness of a typical Eastern European wedding. Due to the presence of real spirits on set, the actors swiftly ceased their scripted performances, and all descended into unbridled improvisation.

Three years thence, a grand film bearing the same name (Горько!) debuted in Russia, employing identical semi-documentary shaky camera footage to portray the madness of an Eastern European wedding. One doth ponder from whence this idea was purloined. Upon the release of this grand Russian film, my film and all mentions thereof vanished from all Russian film portals. Coincidence? I think not.

Why, Russia? Why? Thou hast done it once more.

^{Opus 34:} Death is no Dream ^{— Documentary Film (2011)}

Death is no Dream is a television documentary I did compose in the Hungarian tongue, chronicling the life of the music composer Seres Rezso and his infamous song, "Gloomy Sunday."

This melancholy tune didst become the first international radio hit in history, and according to legend, its music so bewitched the subconscious that many souls were driven to end their own lives beneath its somber strains.

^{Opus 35:} Club Obscura ^{— Performance/Short Films (2012)}

Club Obscura was an underground night realm that mine brother and I didst create. We transformed an old, forsaken water pipe factory into an art studio. There we crafted art and reveled in mirth with our close circle of creative companions. This was our private sanctuary. Yet, in time, we began to film art videos of our performances and did share them on the Internet, presenting it as a "real" nightclub.

Messages from across the globe soon inundated us, from folk wishing to visit our illusory club. Thus, we resolved to truly organize a grand art revel at the factory, turning the entire space into a living, breathing nightclub. Our DJ's perch was upon the roof of a mighty Soviet Kirovets tractor.

^{Opus 43:} Are You Going to Watch the Sunrise? ^{— Novel (2013)}

Are You Going to Watch the Sunrise? — is a novel writ in the Russian tongue. Many deem this work my most contentious, for its social-political themes have proven prophetic.

Upon its publication, critics did greet the tome with icy reception, deeming the events depicted therein simply impossible. Yet, in less than a decade hence, such events did unfold upon the world stage. Thus, critics harbored even greater disdain for this novel, for humankind doth not relish admitting fallibility.

^{Opus 45:} Vanity ^{— Graphic Novel (2014)}

Vanity doth mark my first full-length graphic novel. My prior works, ne'er meant as comics, were but scripts for films, outlined by artists. Yet, with the Vanity project, I penned a script solely for the graphic novel form.

The tale recounts, most faithfully (albeit with the author's touch), the life of the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory. This script was wrought in honor of the four-hundredth year since her passing. To craft this narrative with historical fidelity, I delved for over a year into the depths of closed Hungarian archives, perusing original missives from the Countess, diaries of her acquaintances, and a myriad of documents from that bygone era.

In those years in Hungary, folk did speak divers tongues according to their station. The clergy conversed in Latin, monarchs in German, and commoners in Hungarian, Polish, Serbian, or Wallachian. With the Ottoman invasion, many had adopted Turkish words. The comic script was penned with these tongues in mind. Each character's speech reflected their class, with footnotes below for translations. Yet, my first readers found the footnotes cumbersome, prompting me to render most of the text into English.

Ikebana, a comic series I did pen for a noble publication, whose name I shall not utter, for the venture ne'er came to fruition.

Yet, Ikebana is here.

'Twas conceived as a tale of a famed photo model from Japan, courted by grand luxury brands and art galleries. Yet, beneath her comely guise, she harbors a secret passion for theft. For sport, she pilfers the most prized treasures from under their very noses.

^{Opus 61:} Opera ^{— Poem (2020)}

Opera is an epic poem, penned in the tongue of Russia, recounting the tale of an inquisitor judged by none other than Satan himself.

This poem, born of pure spontaneity, was wrought from a moment of ire. As I did correspond with a certain knave upon the Internet messenger, his impudence did vex me greatly. In a fit of indignation, I resolved to craft a malicious verse to retort his rude remark. Thus, I did commence to write this verse directly within the messenger.

For the space of two days, I labored over my response, but when the time came to send it, the messenger could not bear its length and thus failed in its delivery.

Yet, so enamored was I with this verse, that I resolved it should not be lost to the void. Therefore, I determined to publish it forthwith.
