То, что Вы делаете - просто потрясающе!!! ))) Очень светлая музыка, невероятное звучание! Слушаешь и думаешь: "Хочу стать мелодией... Пусть меня слушают с закрытыми глазами. Хочу скатываться по ушной раковине и оставаться в голове - крутиться там бесконечно, пусть меня напевают... Хочу вызвать улыбку. Хочу вызвать слёзы. Хочу заставить вспомнить. Хочу заставить танцевать. Хочу стать мелодией - пусть меня слушают с закрытыми глазами, пусть хотят стать мной..."
Hi Anton & Maxim! I was on your last saturday's event at A38. It was just fantastic. Such a brilliant mixture of sensual but at the same time spinning sounds. It was a fantastic feeling. I'm waiting @ Mamaia.
