Anzhelika Kovalenko – Black Earth (Kara Toprak) by Fazil Say | WeLive on Tour | Live im Parktheater (Video)
“-Black Earth- combines the experimental component, which as it is developed, is revealed before the listener. In the begining you are immersed in melodic waves and it seems that the Earth leaves under your feet, but after a couple of minutes, the piano melody absorbs and takes you into oblivion. Awesome journey.”
“-Black Earth- сочетает в себе экспериментальную составляющую, которая по мере развития раскрывается перед слушателем. Сначала вас погружают в мелодический хаос и, кажется, что земля уходит из-под ног, но уже спустя пару минут мелодия фортепиано поглощает и уносит в небытие на своих волнах. Потрясающее путешествие.”

In the video, the Ukrainian pianist Anzhelika Kovalenko performs the piece “Black Earth (Kara Toprak)” by the Turkish composer Fazil Say live at the German “Parktheater Lahr”.

In front of 15 cameras and with a light show staged especially for the performance, she stages “Black Earth” as never before. The 25-year-old pianist impresses with a lot of feeling and great musicality. The recording is part of the second episode “Classic meets Electro” from the concert film series “WeLive on Tour”.

Vincent Liou Interview on Nagamag
.
Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?
Vincent Liou:
Indie pop
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Vincent Liou:
I started piano when I was young and then played bass and clarinet for a few years. I loved making huge chords on the piano. I joined a band (Crash Coordinates) in high school and played minimal keys – I was basically the hype man. I wrote my first song in college in 2010 where I (low-key) ripped off Owl City’s ‘”Fireflies.” I wrote four EPs and recorded with Bob Hoag during that time. After graduating from PA school in Massachusetts, I moved back to Arizona to live with my momma (school is expensive you know!). After I came back, I met a girl who was cool, but she broke my heart – she was dating someone else at the same time we were together. My most recent ‘Big Surf’ EP are the songs that came out of that experience.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Vincent Liou:
I was lucky enough to have parents that liked good music. My dad would play John Denver and my mom played The Eagles. From there I started discovering new artists that really helped color my world. The artists that really showed me that music was freedom are many but Primus, The Locust, Minus the Bear, really solidified my belief.
Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?
Vincent Liou:
Whitney Houston "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?
Vincent Liou:
Bonnie Raitt "I Can't Make You Love Me"
Rushkeys, Lugovskiy – Equilibrium (Spotify)
“Rushkeys and Lugovskiy team up in this quite interesting creation for the House fans and many more. Sophisticated electronic loops, craftfully organized for the most selective ears. "Equilibrium" invites us for a short trip between energetic shifts and relaxing atmospheres. Enjoy!”
-Nagamag.com
Equilibrium is a collaboration between a Lithuanian electronic music producer Rushkeys, who has recently received support from the Loci Records and Lugovskiy, who is based in Kiev, Ukraine and has releases on such labels as Nervous, Size Records and has been supported by the likes of Pete Tong and The Aston Shuffle.
Taking influence from such artists as George FitzGerald and Bonobo this organic house track conveys an equilibrium not only between the artists but also aesthetics of their productions and blends soaring, dreamy melodies with solid rhythmic groove and wicked dance floor sensibility.

SAAH Interview on Nagamag
.
Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?
SAAH:
Neoclassical, contemporary classical, modern classical piano,
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
SAAH:
I was given an old piano at the age of nine. i immediately fell in love with that instrument(i actually wanted a flute, but I didn´t get one)
since then I loved to improvise and create little melodies.
i also had piano lessons for some years, but I always preferred to play by ear.
that´s why I decided not to study at the music university.
i played in bands and the last years I´ve been composing for theatres and I´ve been creating solo piano pieces in my tiny homestudio. Last year I won the European song writing award in the category: music for motion pictures. since then I´ve been releasing heartfelt solo piano songs. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to do what I love and to share my music with everybody who wants to listen.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
SAAH:
I guess it was when i first heard some Tory Amos songs (i fell in love with her way to play the piano) and later i really loved the Keith Jarrett´s Köln concert (i was so impressed by the spirit and vibes of his free and harmonic improvising )
Nagamag:
do you have any plans for the near future?
SAAH:
Yes, I have :)
I always desired to play outside in nature or in other special places with my stage piano.
...so I had a stunning handmade piano shell built by a very talented man and now (about 2 weeks ago) a wonderful painter completed this work with a very special and beautiful painting on the cover of the shell, that means a lot to me.
So from now on I will also share some little video clips from outside, playing on Juna (that´s my pianos name;) - it means the desired..... I am over the moon excited about that.
Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?
SAAH:
INCUBUS "Wish you were here"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?
SAAH:
Franco Roberts (He has a different piano sound, I really like his work) "axolotl"
Terse – Carlos Maya – Neoclassical piano music (Video)
“-Neoclassical Piano Music- is the sunrise after a long rain and following the gray clouds, its first blinding rays appear. Incredible beauty of execution and real grace, like a breath of air after a long sleep.”
“-Neoclassical piano music- это восход солнца после долгого и продолжительного дождя, когда из-за серых туч проступают его первые и ослепляющие лучи. Невероятной красоты исполнение и настоящая грация, словно глоток воздуха после продолжительного сна.”
