Dear friends, my elder bro Dima has made a page dedicated to our lo-fi studio “Happy Records” based in Kyiv, Ukraine, created for non-profit purposes. The focus of the studio work is producing indie artists we subjectively find interesting.
So please, find some time and listen to our friends’ music recorded by us at:
Hi there Zou Zou first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
A quick message for you. Please check my profile, if you haven't already, to hear the six preview tracks from my forthcoming C.D. called "Supreme Sounds" :-
1.Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart 2.The Beginning Of The End Of Love 3.Can't You See It's Me 4.Come See About Me 5.Put Yourself In My Place (Rough Mix) 6.Reflections
If you like what you hear and would like to order a copy, please contact me A.S.A.P., especially as it will be a limited edition run - so "first come, first served" sort of thing!
Anyway, hope you are having a great day and look forward to hearing from you soon!
Check out our submission to this year's Buffalo Musicians Against Autism Christmas CD. Written on Wednesday, recorded on Friday and mixed on Saturday! Please enjoy. Also, come out to see the Viva Noir and friends at the Central Park Grill on 11/17 for the BMAA record release party!!!
FOR SEPTEMBER ONLY !! My 4th batch of recordings are on my profile on MySpace for you to listen to. The first track is "Mambo Sun" and the second track is "Get It On". I decided to dig these old studio recordings out and dust them off as they are T.Rex cover versions (Both from 1971) and it was 30 years ago (16th September 1977), that Marc Bolan died in a car crash on Barnes Common in London, so I thought my little tribute would be O.K. to add. Continuing the theme, the third track is one of mine, "Who Mourns for Adonis ?" (Written in January 1998, studio recorded with Max Read at The Lodge recording studio, Northampton in December 1998), which is the second song that has the death of my close friend, Chris Windhaber (January 1997) as it's source. Morbid ? No, a respectful glimpse of my feelings about that person and other views and how they are interpretated. "Who Mourns For Adonis?" was included on my 1st C.D., the double C.D. set - "The Soungs:1989-1999" in December 1999 and also on "The Esoterically Divine" C.D. in October 2000. The fourth track is the Doors cover version, "The Crystal Ship" - a beautiful track from their debut album in 1967. The first, second and fourth tracks were studio recorded at The Lodge recording studio, Northampton in July 1995 with Max Read engineering, Ashley Gray on electric guitar, Andy Johnson on bass guitar and Geoff Williams on drums (Ashley and Andy also did backing vocals with me on "Get It On", but all other lead and backing vocals are mine). The first, second and fourth tracks were all from my September 1995 studio cassette demo album, "A Soothing Moment?", which was my most popular cassette of the 1990's, probably due to those three cover versions ("The Crystal Ship" opened the album, "Mambo Sun" was the first track on Side Two and "Get It ..d the album).......................................
thanks for the add. It is an honor and a pleasure. I lick the gravel from your path, so you can walk more easily; test all of your food to make sure it is not poisoned; put empty containers in your 'fridge, cause it's funny...
