Hi
I was remaking my trumpet loops packs, made those in a more easy to use format and also at a more common sample rate.
Now the loops are stereo acidized wav format, 16 bit or 24 bit, 44.1 khz sample rate.

Yesterday, twice !
We were in different teams at Paintball.
Yesterday we were with Jeane D'ark and Failte bands shooting for 4 hours at each others. Time ran quite fast...
Because was the birthday of the drummer, he took all the girls in his team... at least once he made that :))
So... yesterday was Paintball day.
Why in real life there is no such thing as "Godmode" ?
We celebrated with pancakes after.

Finally, after months of waiting, my album is out.
You can buy it from the official website of the record label, Sysound, but soon you'll be able to buy it from NG store also.

The album features some amazing special guests:

Bogáti-Bokor Ákos - the guitarist and lieder of the band Yesterdays, a guitar player, composer, vocalist who have an obsession for vintage sound devices, especially mellotrons.
Bad Man Incorporated - one of my favorite musicians from NG, mostly known as guitar player but also a versatile vocalist who can make any style his own.
Petre Radu Scafaru - an amazing jazz saxophonist, known for collaborating with Burnt Sugar, the Arkestra Chamber. About him, critics wrote:
"The tenor saxophone work of Petre Radu-Scafaru, erotically when not skronkingly multiphonic, nastily embosses the track's luscious blend of frenzy and release."
Makkai István - the saxophone and clarinet player of the band Zakusca, a classical trained musician, we were in the same Music Academy and later in State Philharmonic of Targu-Mures.
Denes Jozsef - a very interesting guitar player, heck, we were starting years ago our first jazz band together... now he is more into ethnic fusion.
Felix Mircea Modovan - drums on the new version of Thracian Dance, we were playing together in Slang, One and many other projects, from jazz to electronic music.
Citrina - well, much more of a visual artist than a musician but, as she says "managed to be in the right place at the right time".
She made the album cover and design of my website.

Now comes a totally different chapter, for who know already something about my life and my loss.
As a tribute to Silvia Sorohan (01 Jan. 1982 - 05 Dec. 2005), first song is featuring her on voice.

List of tracks:
1- Wake Up feat. Silvia Sorohan-voc
2- The Journey feat.Bogáti-Bokor Ákos-guit, synth guit
3- Miles Away
4- Wasteland of Time feat.Bogáti-Bokor Ákos-guit
5- Love for Eternity feat.Bad Man Inc.-voc
6- Nostalgia in Times Circle feat.Makkai István-alto sax
7- Smoke Ballerina feat.Makkai István-alto sax
8-Old-timer feat Citrina-voc
9-Wanna Go Home
10- Etnographia
11-Thracian Dance feat.Petre Radu Scafaru-tenor sax, Felix Mircea Moldovan-drums, Anghel Marc-kaval
12-Lighthouse Lullaby

Also, you can watch a video with the band Slang featuring me on the trumpet.

That was in 2005... well, I hope I can film some more stuff from the promoting tour of the album.

And when something happen, everything else start to happen at the same time :)
At the same time, my collaboration with band "Yesterdays" got out.
Here's a video of the recording session for "THE SPAGHETTI EPIC" Volume Three - The Great Silence (Musea Compilation).

Mihai Sorohan's Anachronic album produced, released and sold by Sysound

Today I found out that one of my best friends, Tony Novak, died this Sunday.
He was the one who helped me to put together my first computer and started me making music on it. He was a gifted musician, proud to be a gypsy and crazy about his musical roots.
Once he went away for 6 months from his family to be with a gypsy nomad caravan... he came home full of fleas and lice, but happy because he heard original stories and music of his people.

I found on YouTube some of his music.

And here one "official" video that he made for more "mainstream" listeners. He's the one with the guitar (not the fat guy in the video).

Hi guys
Newgrounds was, is and will be one of my favorite internet places.
I found here good musicians, good friends and made several collaborations that will appear on my upcoming album.
So, my gift to musicians here but not only is for now a trumpet sample and loop pack that you can download for free Trumpet Section in F - 90bpm.

All trumpets by Mihai Sorohan.
Gear used:
- trumpet Bb Amati ATR213
- microphone Oktava MK 319
- mixer Behringer Eurorack UB1204 FX-Pro
- soundcard M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192

Second pack ready also ;)
All tracks stereo wav format, 16 bit, 48 khz samplerate, 120 bpm.
There are trumpet+sax section, trumpets and trombone.

and just for sake of LOL, have a video ;)

I'm glad to announce that I've updated my website.
There is now a player from ReverbNation, some new Photos from Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival. There were some jam sessions every night after concerts in "Holiday Inn" hotel, something not to miss.
Too bad I don't have photos from when Erik Truffaz was on stage there ... Still, I have photos jamming with his bass player (he have awesome groove).
Here is a video from the festival:

In the photo appears also Darius Rudis on drums

I finally took time to edit my "news" and here I go ...
Probably one of the best thing happened on NG was ... collaboration with Bad Man Inc for my album :)) but also winning MAC8 "Flight in Freedom".
For a more dramatic effect I'll post a screenshot of Front Page where my track is staying now (quite comfortably I guess).
