Few words about your musical background and career?
Myyora:
For my musical background i have always sung, since i was a little girl, whether it was at home by myself or with my cousins, or for school talent shows, or being in a band in university.

Mario Verandi – Small Wings Behind (Video)
“Mario Verandi composed a truly rich in harmonies story. Notes gently shimmer in the air, as if the raindrops play on the railing of a balcony. Yet somewhere far away, where clouds on sky are travelling quick you listen a lighting. ”
“Mario Verandi создал поистине пространственную музыку. Ноты мягко переливаются в воздухе, будто капли дождя играют на перилах веранды. И где то вдали, там где плывут по небу тучи слышится легкая тревога.”
-Nagamag.com
This track features delicate impressionistic piano melodies that flow over distinct electronic/ambient textures.

Helena Mayer – misunderstood (Spotify)
“An emotional message to each of us from Helena Mayer. Who are we? and why do we misunderstand each other? Delicate rhythms with enveloping vocals and emotional piano are all you need for a warm evening and to understand easier each other.”
“Эмоциональное послание каждому из нас от Helena Mayer. Кто мы, и почему мы так не правильно понимаем друг друга? Нежные ритмы с обволакивающим вокалом и эмоциональным фортепьяно, это все что нужно для теплого вечера и что бы понять друг друга.”
-Nagamag.com
Helena Mayer is a singer and songwriter born in Thousand Oaks, California. From an early age, Helena has had a passion for music, and now at 21, she has begun releasing lyrically emotional energetic pop & R&B influenced music.

Matthew Avery Interview on Nagamag
Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Matthew Avery:
Classical, minimalism, ambient, melancholy.
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Matthew Avery:
I used to play guitar in several punk/hardcore bands from age 15-23 and then slowly began composing on piano over the next years. I find the sounds of the piano soothing and more conducive towards composing songs that inspire strong emotions. Guitar is still an amazing instrument that I enjoy playing, but the piano has taken over as my instrument of choice over the past few years.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Matthew Avery:
My first real love of music came when I heard AFI's album "Sing the Sorrow". The guitar tones, song structures, lyrics, melodies and production quality were all so perfect in capturing a sort of romantic feeling of sadness. I would say my biggest inspiration for composing instrumental music came later from listening to movie soundtracks done by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis as well as Clint Mansell. They were able to inspire so much emotion with minimalistic piano-based songs.
