A little bit of everything I like...
What I Use Now
Mainly brains, ears & hands. And for the tech-geeks here's a brief list of what I use now in my studio. Who's really interested can ask for details.
My whole family, God, the sound of silence, a good stage (proper soundchecks), long travels, friends from here, good books, freedom, common sense, well done things, water, good music and cats.
What I Hate
Fast-Foods, my lazyness, my perfectionism, bad movies, greed, stupidity, bad stage sound, bad management (money theft and cancelled gigs), bad gear & our politicians. And last but not least - To drive in Bucharest more than 5 minutes!
If you don't have an account at MySpace you have below few links to my photos and videos, enjoy!
I made this track especially for this live tv show. Here I am with my colleagues from Zan band. Live at Romanian National TV, Garantat 100% in May 2007. Few months later, Jon Anderson said that he would love to wrote the vocals and the lyrics for him. You can see it with better quality at the video section.

And some final words
Comments containing links may be deleted, blatant self-promotion, too. I don't have a page on Facebook, LinkedIn, Netlog or other Web 2.0 sites, so here's the only place where you can contact me or find news about me and my work. I don't have a blog and I'll never have one. Finally, creative use of the keyboard to make pretty pictures is very clever, but also very annoying. 40 lines of squiggles, dashes and dots may mean that a perfectly good comment is deleted. Please consider this before submitting anything.
RIP Richard Wright - I hope Syd and Richard are playing the greatest 'gig in the sky' right now. Those chords showed my path for this career... Pink Floyd will never be the same without you! This 15th September 2008 was a very, very sad day for all musicians.
My work with Jon Anderson - The legendary voice of Yes! You can also listen one of our songs.
As I promised before, I can now reveal some of my new projects with Jon Anderson, the legendary voice of Yes!
In 2006 I was among the lucky winners of a web-contest held by Jon, requesting experienced musicians
and orchestrators.
So now we're involved together in a vast array of multi-genre musical and multimedia projects (it's a long story, really).
I'll post some new tracks when I'll get the approval from Jon & the publishers. Right now
you can listen "The Shape of Things to Come", a track that (for sure) initially had completely other purposes,
but Jon kindly co-written and then wrote those beautiful lyrics! Well... we're both so happy that
we can work together and in short time you'll see some "wonderous stories" around!
Happy Everything,
Sorin Voinea & Jon Anderson
And a more recent one...
Beside my work with Jon Anderson, Nicu Alifantis & Zan and Mircea Vintila I'm proud to announce my collaboration and partnership with Mircea Baniciu
Well, what can I say ... maibe it's better to take a look at my CV, made by someone who knows pretty well my past
(found it on Net, I didn't make it). If you're not really interested on my past you can skip this part, I know
this can be pretty boring... :)
