Alex Yasko, better known to his internet friends as "Kombrig", has a penchant for arranging music for accordion that is not typically thought of as "accordion music." You can find a large number of his arrangements in the Accordion section of the Notation Software Users Forum. He has arranged pieces ranging from more traditional polka music to the Beatles, but all with a very full sound, not just the melody line. Kombrig hails from the former Soviet Union, but has spent his last 12 years in San Francisco, California, USA. "I have played jazz, pop and rock music all my life in some small bands. I’ve been leader of those bands and I can play on any instrument: piano, variety of keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. It helped me to invent some unknown techniques and manners of playing on an accordion.
All my life I dreamed to have a band which completely understands what I wanted to hear from their playing. Now, MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE!!! Thanks to Composer, I can put in to the midi-file any accompaniment I need and it'll never let me down!"
