"...taking a journey into another world... this CD takes you on a four-dimensional exploration of another world, another space and time. rich sonic textures interweave with gentle melodies to lead you through mysteries and moods and bring you happily back home by the end. well recorded, this would make a great soundtrack for a movie..."
(benjamin russell -june 4 '08, montreal, qc, canada)
born in montreal in 1977, sandra chechik began composing music in early childhood with a particular passion towards the piano. her first serious work, a 5 movement piece for strings entitled 'the winds of time', was completed at age 16. satisfying a parallel passion for films, she studied creative arts in college and university. she graduated from concordia university in 1999 where she specialized in communication studies and concentrated in sound production. post-graduation, she composed and produced music while working in the field of advertising photography. currently a stay-at-home mom, sandra shares her time between family and music. minimalist in style, sandra's musical compositions have been heard in various projects including video, short film, cd-rom, video game, fashion show, poetry, radio montage, radio advertisement, collaboration on album, website, art exposition, and feature film. since 2004, seven of sandra's pieces have been on rotation on 'galaxie', cbc's continuous music network. in the fall of 2002, a self-titled album was released and includes music which was featured in director peter greenaway's films, 'the tulse luper suitcases'. in 2006, sandra produced 'sleepy time', a collection of children's bedtime music inspired by her eldest son. 'sleepy time' was distributed to registered education savings plan (resp) clients via universitas trust funds of canada. sandra's latest album release, 'sigh' contains 9 pieces representing 9 months of her pregnancy with her second son. composed and produced over the span of a year, this ambient work exposes an intense and emotional inner world.
this past july, sandra welcomed a baby daughter into the world. currently, she is working (when she has the time...) on the final piece of a project that has been ongoing since 2002.

Hi Sandra - no need to apologise - the advent of "No 3" sure takes priority over what any of us guys is doing on here!
Be comfortable for the last few weeks/days - relax - get your "Other Half" to do some of the running around - after all, he's already do his part of the "work" in bringing "No 3" onto the scene!
Very warmest wishes on Flat-day [which usually follows the longest day]
