The music of Honest Touch fuses the aesthetics of Pop and Classical, creating a cinematic and emotional musical approach a crossroads of Piano music, New Age Pop and Orchestral music.
Honest Touch is a project rather than a traditional band formed
by Fofi Maniadaki and Samy Elgazzar and based
in Athens, Greece. The project is backed by a seven-piece band, the Amadeus
Orchestra (in some songs the Philarmonia
Bulgarica) and the Fons Musicalis Choir. The
project plays instrumental music composed and arranged by Samy, with Fofi
as piano soloist.
Mastering engineer Vlado Meller (Sony Music Studios) who is
credited for albums by Barbara Streisand, Prince, Celine Dion to name but a
few, put his sonic expertise in the debut album Memories
From A Dream.
In 2005, the album was released on Polytropon Records and
distributed by Universal Music.
A producer from Taxi.com, the world's
leading independent A&R company, made the following critique:"the music is top quality as
well as the production..."
You are invited to visit the official web site to listen
to the music samples and learn more about the project. In the online store you
may order your copy of the debut album and receive a 30% discount when you order piano sheet music. Feel free
to contact Fofi and Samy; your comment and feedback are immensely welcomed.
"We compete in the Film and TV music arena everyday with major publishing companies, and we feel like we have experience to evaluate a song's potential. Yours went beyond potential. It is a winner."
