I was recording some Christmas track with the brass band I am conducting and while recording some of the percussion I was thinking "why not making some loops out of those?". So here they are, loops at 80 BPM.

Some time ago I worked with a friend on making the music on this movie. It's quite a sweet story:

Well, I guess some people know already, so, I will post the good news here also :)

I guess life is going to change. 

Here are some ideas I came up with, or see on other people. I post here just to remember later :) 

1. make remix of popular songs
2. make remix of really really crappy song
3. make competitions
4. offer free presets pack
5. make videos/ clay animation/ vlog/ music tips & tricks
6. offer one of your tracks for other artists to remix

Some time ago I was making music for a movie together with a friend. It was a free of charge job to help her and to get my name "out there". Time passed, I forgot about it and nobody told me anything about it anymore...
Now I checked out on them, the movie is out from 2013 and my name doesn't appear anywhere. Not on their promos on YT, not on the website, not on the IMDB page, nothing.

Contacted them some days ago, no answer yet...

Because I'm basically a "ghost writer" without any kind of contract I can't do anything about it. So, lessons to be learned:

1. Always write a contract, even if it's for a non commercial collaboration.
2. Ask specifically for what you want in the credits.
3. Put a price on your work if you want to be taken seriously.
4. While in the process of working, make this a public matter if there isn't a "no disclosure" type of contract. (well, that's with a "maybe")
5. Never work with those people again. 

With great regret I have to announce the passing into eternity of my mother, Fabiana Sorohan. 
The funeral will be held at the Central Cemetery in Cluj, Saturday at 10.

I inherited the love for music from her. She was a good piano teacher and a good composer beside being the best mom.

My good friend Arpad, who is a very cool saxophone player insisted to make a video with us playing over some jazz standards. He plans to make those every week, so, here, me on flugelhorn and he on tenor and soprano saxophone:

Was a bit dark in his studio and he filmed with his iPad, so the quality isn't really the best, but the sound was recorded in Cubase with a Neumann mic through a Neve preamp, so...  

Hi there and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all the politically correct stuff.

For quite a while I wanted to try my hand on a track named "Vitae Lux" (light of life) composed by Frode Alnæs, a Norwegian composer and guitar player. I wanted to make something that gives to everybody a bit of favorite music, so I tried to combine some styles there, from Classical to Rock, Jazz to Metal, hopefully you'll find something for you too:

Cheers and best wishes!

New band, new guitar also (a red Telecaster made in Japan). This is how we sound live:
