Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

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

10- Etnographia
11-Thracian Dance feat.Petre Radu Scafaru-tenor sax, Felix Mircea Moldovan-drums, Anghel Marc-kaval

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).

Cool Stuff! Hey, hate to bring it up, but have you done anything more on scoring out thracian for me? heh heh, a friend of mine who's also a jazz trumpet player, listened to it and loved it, and wants to see some of what's behind it

hey soro,
it's really nice to see that NG has a professional musician like you around. I hope your album reaches a lot of people here and outside NG.

May. 13, 2009 | 9:16 AM sorohanro responds:

Thanx man, thanx, really appreciate. Sorry to answer quite late, a lot of stuff going on.

May. 20, 2009 | 10:22 AM MrSaint says:

Dude sweet. I hope your album kicks ass. I too, hope someday to let out and album and become a professional musician. I can say only one thing, I respect you a lot and I am happy that you let out an album, because it shows how pro you are at your job. Good luck in your future projects!

May. 20, 2009 | 3:14 PM sorohanro responds:

Thanx man, thanx.
I hope that soon the album will be available in NG store ;)
Good luck also to you.

Excellent horn playing on that vid, and love that two mic setup. Was curious what mics were being used and how they were mixed in final mixdown? I've yet to record anything but vocals through my setup, but I'm always interested in learning how the sound engineers take each instrument and mold it to their aural vision.

May. 21, 2009 | 3:44 AM sorohanro responds:

One is a SM 57 and the other might be an AKG Perception, but I'm not sure.
That album is out too, at Musea Records ;)

Thanx man.

I'll have to be honest with you - I had never really gotten into your music until I heard some of your more jazz-influenced pieces.

As of now, I have a number of them on my iPod, and I have to say you're easily the greatest jazz musician ever to set foot on Newgrounds!

Jun. 12, 2009 | 2:29 AM sorohanro responds:

Thanx man, thanx.
I love jazz and crossover styles that involve jazz :)
As for "greatest jazz musician ever to set foot on Newgrounds", I feel flattered but there are some people that I consider better jazz musicians, like SSM-NW.

Hey man, once again congrats on the album and hope it's selling well! Two things: 1) Not to be a pressing person or anything but I'm still waiting on the rest of that midi for Thracian-whatever-ya-call-it-now and on a lighter note 2) Got myself a nice little bach Bb trumpet to start playing over. It's no xeno but hey, it works, heh. Little weird for me because I'm so used to playing C instruments (T-bone, Euphonium, Piano) and having to transpose a little when talking about things is a little odd and confusing.

Jun. 12, 2009 | 2:25 AM sorohanro responds:

1) I thought I sent you the MIDI already, check your inbox, should be there for a while.
2) Bach might be better than a Yamaha Xeno, Yamaha instruments are very good with intonation (pitch) but Bach have better sound (different metal mixture).
3) After a while you'll get used to play/ think in Bb, you'll even think normal and transposed at the same time :))

I would pork the lead singer of slang

The whole time I was watching that first video I was thinking "why the fuck hasn't he had a trumpet solo yet? What the fuck is this?" Then it happened and my penis got hard. Curious, how much of that solo was rehearsed/ planned? I feel like with American television, every-time someone does a solo it's practiced to sound exactly the same as it did in rehearsal. In no way shape or form is that a bad thing, I'm just curious if they gave you any freedom with it?

Jun. 24, 2009 | 6:37 PM sorohanro responds:

:))) LOL
Man, that was improvising, all the solo.
There are several more versions, live, on youtube.

So, erection from my soloing... that means that I play like a puss ?
Oh, wait, you think I'm a girl and my wife's the man... hm... you're right then :))))

Jun. 25, 2009 | 2:21 AM Quarl says:

Alright then, my next question will be where that aired on tv? Sounds like you got more freedom than what I would have expected from out of north america years back... but given the fact that mtv and vh1 no longer play music I guess you really don't see too many live performances any more on tv here now anyways...

Also, it's great that they let you do what you wanted to do but at least tell me the transpositions in-between the solos were planned? If not, it would be pretty crazy you both found the same notes at the same time :P

Jun. 30, 2009 | 10:15 AM sorohanro responds:

That's actually from footage that was on TV, on national TV station. Was quite a big event.
There is somewhere a concert that we had on New Year Eve, also on national TV station.

The structure kind is fixed, just what we did inside the structure was quite free (like chord backing on keys, guitar riffs and solos) all the fixed parts (brass parts, structural parts like modulation...etc) were rehearsed and agreed.
