LOCAL MUSIC SCENE PRODUCES SOME GEMS
Jim Musser (Music beat)-----
My favorite local release was The Gglitch's "Scenes from the Good Life," a dazzling two-disc genre-buster that is innovative, amusing, polished, endlessly surprising and just plain fabulous. Also weird and wonderful was "The Late Gray Ed Great" by Ed Gray.

OTAR's "REBEL RECORD" now available on -------
Briefly:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Otar, and I'm a musician and ER doc. I've moved to Stony Brook, NY for residency training after graduating form University of Iowa med school in May 08. I play/collaborate with an Iowa City band called The Gglitch, and have a studio at my house in Iowa City where I recorded a solo album called REBEL RECORD, as well as the new Gglitch double CD Set "Scenes From the Good Life". Scenes From the Good Life is available at the Record Collector as well as CD Baby (http://cdbaby.com/cd/gglitch) and iTunes. Rebel Record is available at WWW.OTARMUSIC.COM and ---
..................................................
[...music is my enchanted forest and my fortress of power...
music is what wakes me and puts me to sleep........]//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
...All the songs on REBEL RECORD I wrote and recorded myself,
in my Iowa City FAT KING Studio. I sang
and played all the instruments. The acoustic drums were fondeled lovingly by my friend Adam Morford. Some of the siniging was done by Ryan Bernemann./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////SOME PRESS on REBEL RECORD: The 14 self-penned tunes offer a mix of sweeping, P-Floyd/Lennon-esque pop ballads, intricate prog-rock, ethereal instrumental breaks and an ambitious production style, adding up to an hour of dynamic, intriguing and utterly beautiful musical exposition.

The Gglitch Scenes from the Good Life
US release date: 25 September 2007
UK release date: Available as import
---REVIEW BY Steve Horowitz---
----Sure these guys are nuts, but just because they’re zany doesn’t mean they are not talented. They hide their musical gifts behind a wall of hoo-hah in the tradition of the Holy Modal Rounders and the Bonzo Dog Band. There’s much more than meets the ear here. You gotta listen closely and often to pick up all that’s going on. The band’s new double-stuffed, double CD is chock full of zippy insights into the human consciousness from the perspective of one who wouldn’t belong to any society that would accept him or her. Yep, lead singer, guitarist, songwriter and agent provocateur Otar Taktakishvili hails from that Georgia (the one that used to be part of the Soviet Union) and is a true Marxist. His music bears the imprint of Groucho and that Lennon from Liverpool in the most wonderful way.

LONGER BIO:
I was born into a very musical family. My grandfather was a wonderful composer,
who wrote several beautiful operas, symphonies, concertos for piano and flute,
and artfully integrated modal Georgian folk music into his work. Growing up in his presence,
in touch with his radiant universe of music, humor and charm, immersed in song my entire
childhood, left me reaching toward music for inspiration and direction///... His MySpace profile is my top friend list below if you wanna check it out....
Music always came naturally to me, melody always being my favorite part of composition and improvisation.
Through the years, my musical roots have grown toward pure music for the sake of music: jazz, ragtime, beatles and
certainly back into classical music to which I grew up listening, and in my opinion is the greatest achievement
of mankind. e.g. (Well Tampered Clavier, Aida, Traviata, Ravel's Piano Concerto for left hand, Bolero,
Mozart's requiem, Chopin's preludes etc.)
My stand is that music is and can be sufficiently entertaining by itslef without having to realy on pyrotechnics, blood, smoke machines, tight pants, cheap antics and gimmics to make a show out of it. That's what's wrong with the modern American influence on music in my opinon - if there is no sex, blood, corruption, violence, suicide linked with music its deemed not fascinating enough. But artists I belive need to be guardians of the puritan muscal ideal and not sell out to the entertainment industry as singing clowns with fake stage personas.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Professionally, I'm an resident ER doctor at Stony Brook University Hospital, which so far has been a phenomenal experience and I enjoy it tremendously. For the most part, music
and medicine have been separate in my life, one providing me with spiritual sustenance, and
the other giving my life structure and direction....but more and more they have been fusing into a unified lifestyle that really excites me and keeps me creative and happy...

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
