Ania's Thoughts

I have seen the ocean nice and lovely in the morning. Sparkling, fresh, light blue. I saw the ocean the killer, with thick dark clouds and black-blue water. Sometimes it's gray, sometimes it is illuminated by the prettiest shades of blue.  It's never the same every day, every hour, every minute. I love, it is my inspiration.

Spending the end of the year and the begginning of the new year at the shore is  a dream coming true! I just have visited  this Beast, it is dark, and the white foamy waves are shining through the night. It is very loud and powerful. Perfect pre-New-Year's Father Ocean!

So many things to think about.  About a fresh start, about the accomplished things... I think I am happy. So many marvelous and magic things happened. We wrote Bubble Gum! This is definitely the highlight of my year 2011. May be I sound silly, but this is how I really feel!!! I never felt about a song like this before, and I really wanted the special song, that ONE song, and it came to me, to us!!!!

So, let's think around what is the New 2012 Year bringing us......

Thank you for reading!
See you at the next post, friend!!!

How we met David Ivory!!

We have been working with our producer David Ivory for about 6 month by now. How did it all happen?

Me playing Wurlitzer...

Well, one day Chuck Treece invited Dan to go to NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Science OR Grammys!!) ) meeting in Philadelphia. It was great time! Dan found himself in a hall full of people "who is who in music biz"  in Philadelphia area. And all they were talking is about music and music business!! Yeah, sounds great! The president of Philadelphia NARAS, David Ivory, was speaking and was directing the meeting. I remember later that day Dan was telling me about this guy, David Ivory, the "man.

So that's how we became a part of Philadelphia NARAS Chapter. I met David Ivory for the first time at the Puck , a lovely place for live music in beautiful Doylestown, PA. He has showcases there. I got paralyzed and just smiled :) then we gave him our debut CD "Sentimental". Vow!! We just talked to DAVID IVORY!!!

Time was going by and we started taking part in different music conferences. One of the best ones and my favorite was Dewey Beach Music Conference in 2010. It was the end of September. Everything took place literally on the beach... It was beautiful!!

Mmm, isn't this amazing?

Atlantic ocean... My love...

We were running around trying to absorb everything that was going on, meeting people, non-stop talking... All of a sudden, in a hallway we bump into - OMG  - David Ivory!! He recognizes us, and greets. Then he said: "I really like you album! No, i really really like your album!!" And it all began there!!

He said he hears things, it's THERE,  and he wants everybody to hear it as well. And then he simply said, "Come to my studio! We'll talk, we'll play .."

At the studio, playing Wurlitzer for Holiday song

And this small episode in Glen Landing story is probably our first turning point.

Thank you for reading!

Если ты сейчас смотришь сумерки...

Привет! Интересно кто Ты кто сейчас читает эти строчки. Решила писать по-русски!

Сумерки, смотрят в окно. День застыл. На небе светло-серое одеяло туч. А может это на самом деле зимний рассвет?

И еще тишина.

Не могу дождатся когда мы поедем к океану! Зимой он совсем другой, как спящий медведь. Там, на зимнем пляже, никого нет и можно делать все что хочешь!

Да, этим мы и займемся в ближайшее время! И я вам расскажу какими шэйди вещами я там занималась :)

Спасибо, что разделяешь со мной эту минуту застывшую и пойманную в сети, пространстве ...

А Н Я


P.s. Love that feature on the blogspot to translate posts!!!!!! So go ahead, and translate it if u like!!! ;) Ania

From The Studio!

Hello friend!

I CAN NOT wait till our 2 new songs are going to be done!!! AAAA!!!!
Here is a little greeting for you from the studio:

We had such great time recording them with wise David Ivory! It is just amazing watching him work. Many times I was just speechless, cause I was so impressed by what and how he does things!!!

What does this word mean to me? A producer?!

First it was so big, i could not even grasp it!! It was foreign, mysterious, wanted. Scary. Then little by little we started knowing each other better, becoming first comfortable, then friends, then close friends!!! Now it is simply amazing.

All right, Bubble Gum song and Holiday will DROP soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!

Sincerely yours, chewing Bubble Gum,
Ania
