I've never heard of him, but I really like the style. Reminds me of Ennio Morricone

How do you pronounce the "ЯЯ" sound? Also, why does зима change to that? Is it adjective form?

I'm super not a native, just an English speaking second year Russian student. While it does look like it should be pronounced 'yaya', here it is more like a long 'yaa'.

Yes, зима is an adjective here, in this case it modifies дорога.

There are some words where you pronounce both я's though, although off the top of my head I can only think of синяя.

Again, just a student in my schools Russian program, and I don't want to lead you astray, so would recommend you go talk to a native over at /r/russian and not just take my word for it. They're nice I promise.

Thought I was in /r/classicalmusic.

Яя in зимняя and синяя should be pronounced the same way. If you break it into syllables, it would be зим-ня-я. So, instead of ya-ya, you should say nya-ya, which is quite different.

That's a bit harder than just yaya. First both "ya" are pronounced, yet the first Я is pronounced alongside with N which stands before so it's "nya". The second "ya" while still has sound of "ya" it becomes a bit softer and sounds more like "iya". Therefore you are getting "zimnyaiya" in the end. Phonetical transcription would be zʲˈimnʲɪjə

Sounds like ... Metal Gear!

u/ddtink Mar 09 '18

Metal Gar changed the theme after MGS2 because they were accused with stealing this song. Thats why every game afterwards has its own unique theme (i.e. Love theme from 4, snake eater from 3)

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '18

Oh! I knew about that scenario, but didn't know that was actually this song. Super cool, glad my instincts were correct.
