"brazda lui novac” is a project established in 1997 by Victor Popescu. He started making music using a computer and a DOS based software called Fasttracker II, while studying Architecture in Bucharest. He used to play guitar from time to time with his friends, before he started his solo project.
“brazda lui novac” means “A furrow of Novac” and it’s the name of the district in his hometown Craiova, where he grew up. This name is also related to a nice local legend about a giant called Novac and his gigantic sword. In 1998, Victor decided that he prefers sound to architecture, and started working in a studio in Bucharest, doing music and sound design for commercials and sometimes working for movies.
In 2003 he started his own studio called “square sound studio”. In the time when almost everyone replaced the hardware synthesizers with software synths and samplers, Victor started using more and more hardware, entrusting his music with a certain physical feel, really hard to find nowadays.
The “brazda lui novac” style ranges from melodic synth effects to collages of 80’s industrial, techno and punk sound, often mingled with dream pop, everything brought up-to-date in the most intimate IDM style.
We are glad to announce the launch of the new Otaku Magazine issue, which has the theme “THE END OF THE WORLD” and encompasses various themes, from Godzilla and Gundam, to otaku survival methods. (more info: otakumag.com)

Salut! Daca vei fi in Timisoara in acest weekend, te invit la un concert de Craciun avant-garde la biserica din Piata Balcescu, sambata 20 dec. ora 17. Voi canta cu prieteni de la Facultatea de Muzica. Vino cu prietenii, cu prietenii prietenilor, s.a.m.d. E frig in biserica, dar sper sa ne incalzim pe parcurs. Cine vrea, poate sa si danseze. (Cred.) Mihai
