Hi there
There are some really awesome musicians here on Newgrounds, so, to make them known in a cheerful "christmassy" way, I decided to make a playlist with Christmas songs, carols, instrumental tunes inspired by Christmas or just winter.
heck it out here:
https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/1a0d3a5a7d2e1604f3f4b53af8669029

It includes names like Hania, Troysnix, SineRider, BOUNC3, Evil-Dog, Jazza...etc

You can also help me complete the list by posting your favorite Christmas tracks here:

Cheers and merry Christmas!

Just for me, as a reference; awesome music videos:

this one has more of a pop-meh music, but the video is like a movie:
 

and THIS !!! oh boy... this:
 

this one is good;
 

look at these colors and how cinematic can look a music performance in the right light:
 

and the master himself at it:
 

WHO WANTS TO LEARN TO PLAY TRUMPET?

I started, as part of my job, to write some trumpet tutorials. Those are targeted very wide to kids from 6 to 20 years old.
Are you interested? Should I start a thread updated weekly with new lessons? free music sheet, free backing tracks to practice, eventually videos and me being available to answer questions?
Can start from level 0 and we go together to level... whatever we manage. I can promise I'll make it fun to learn even if all you can play it's just one note.














If there's anyone interested, leave a comment here and I'll start it. All you need is a trumpet. You can find a cheap pocket trumpet under 90$.

Hi there!
I decided to put my EPs on YouTube. The general listeners might have the YouTube app on their phone but might nit want a different app (Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation, additional Flash Player...etc) just to listen to music. So, here are my EPs, ready to listen on whatever device you have:

Soon to add the newest one (...)

Hi there!

I'm happy to announce a new EP. this time a bit more on the rock side of the music. Some of the tracks are actually composed in 2009, in their early incarnations are here on NG. Now they got some better guitar parts, some punchier brass (after I got my trombone), really cool drums, a nice mix and mastering.

Take a listen and tell me which track I should release for free on Newgrounds ;)

We start with a classic:

then with something more modern:

and something from the Romanian Eurovision preselections:

I fell in love with... rubber ducks. I want to buy those but my wife told me she'll kick me in the balls if I do it.

As much as I seem a masochist sometimes, I won't risk, but here's some links for future reference to the awesome rubber ducks.

First one is a Batman duck, the one that started my passion:

The next one is going to space. As a kid I wanted to be an astronaut.

Robots. Robots are cool, in a Jetsons kind of way.

And the last one is a classsic. You should always respect classics.
