I want to see you screammmmm!!!!

Desi seamana a un refren de cantec, eu chiar vreau sa te vad tipand. Omul tipa deobicei atunci cand emotiile sale ating o intensitate maxima, ori ca e suparat, ori ca e vesel, ori cineva tocmai l-a enervat la culme.

"Screamminnnn`" este un proiect fotografic in care eu vreau sa iti captez aceasta emotie, aceasta clipa in care inima iti bate in piept ca aripile unui colibri si tipatul vine ca o reactie naturala de eliberare. Vreau tipatul tau de bucurie, de suparare, de nebunie.

Acest proiect este lucrarea practica pentru cursul de fotografie pe care l-am urmat in ultimele luni de zile, la CPPC. Cele mai bune poze vor fi printate si expuze in cadrul unui vernisaj public.

Vreau chipuri interesante, freze uschite, cercei, dreads, daca ai tatuaje e si mai bine, vreau multa nebunie, poti sa vii cu amicii daca vrei. Eu aduc muzica (de scandal) si niscaiva bautura, in caz ca nu te-ai hotarat deja in ce fel vrei sa tipi. 

Totul va fi capturat intr-un studio, asa ca nu o sa aiba rost sa iti faci probleme ca te aud vecinii atunci cand tipi. Daca vrei, chiar poti sa imi faci sugestii in legatura cu muzica pe care vrei sa o auzi cat timp esti acolo..dubstep...rock..dnb????

Aaa, sa nu uit ce era mai important!

Cand:  Sambata 14.01.2012 incepand cu ora 15.00.

Unde: Studioul TeleObiectiv, 

          Str. Sagetii nr 6

Deci be there or be square!
Trimite-mi un mesaj pe piriuvlad@yahoo.com sau pe Facebook pentru confirmare de prezenta. Merci!

In caz ca ai nevoie de inspiratie, pozele alaturate iti vor arata ce doresc eu sa se intample sambata:

Rock the City 2011 brings to the heart of Bucharest some of the biggest bands of the moment

Rock the City 2011 is an ambitious project, a festival that brings to Romania some of the biggest and best rock bands of all times, said Marcel Avram, the man that brought to Romania names such as Michael Jackson, Metallica. The festival has been officially launched on april 5, after a very busy press conference. The ears of all journalists presents there at the conference have been tickled when names such as The Prodigy, Judas Priest, Whitesnake, Papa Roach, Mike and The Mechanics, Therapy, Hatebreed were announced as the line-up of the festival.

After the initial confirmation of the locations as Piata Constitutiei, the Rock the City Festival was moved to ROMEXPO, the same place where Sonisphere Fest took place last year.

The three days of the festival will keep the people busy with parties organised by the sponsors, and all sorts of surprised.

Some of the bands are a premiere for Romania. Papa Roach, for example, is visiting Romania for the first time.

The third edition of the festival, comes after a 1 year break. The last edition of the festival has brought to Romania bands such as Saga, Queensryche and Lipm Bizkit, and it was held at Arenele Romane. As the need for good and powerful rock music has becaome bigger and bigger, the festival has been moved to a larger arena, in order to accomodate the crowds that will flock to mingle with the stars.

The first names that were confirmed for the festival were Judas Priest – promoting their last world tour, and Whitesnake – promoting their latest album „Forevermore”.

Even if Rob Halford, the lead singer from Judas Priest, has announced that the „Epitaph World Tour” is going to end the prodigious and the prolongue carreer of the group, Glenn Tipton, the guitar player gives some hope to the millions of fans outhere and announces that definettly, Epitaph is not going to mean the end of the band and of the worlwide tours. Presently, the band works to a new material, and if the band is to play, they will play in smaller tours. Halford & Co. have chosen their bands name after a Bob Dylan`s song, „The ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest”, from the album „John Wesley Harding”. Along the ages, Judas Priest has launched 16 studio albums and sold over 40 million disks. Their newest album is „Nostradamus” (2008), and it has reached the 11th place in the Billboard Chart 200.

Also Whitesnake returns to Romania, for a concert in Bucharest. Their Bucharest performance is part of their worldwide promotional tour „Forevermore”, album that was launched in Europe on march 25th. Their first single disk from this album was „Love Will Set You Free” and it also comes with a video. This newest album was produced and arranged by David Coverdale, Doug Aldrich and Michael McIntyre in the Snakebyte and the Grumblenott Studios & Villas in Nevada and California.

Whitesnake is a british rock band that started in 1977 in North Yorkshire), with David Coverdale (ex Deep Purple) as lead singer. The guy is so good in what he is doing, that a lot of voices have said that in fact, Whitesnake is only accompanying David Coverdale and nothing else. VH1 has nominated the band to occupy the 85 position in the Best HardRock Bands of All Times Chart. The first formula of the band brought together names such as David Coverdale, Bernie Marsden, Micky Moody, Neil Murray, David „Duck” Dowle and Brian Johnston, at keyboards, to be soon after misplaced by Jon Lord, from Deep Purple. Their first album was not so succesful, „Whitesnake” being launched in 1977, in a time when punk music was rulling the charts. The newest album, „Forevermore”, was described as having no boundaries, being melodic and full of passion in the same time.

This album has been recorded in a new formula, Aldrich being the only surviver from the origibal crew. In Bucharest, Coverdale will share the stage with Doug Aldrich – guitars, Reb Beach (Alice Cooper) – guitars, Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol) – drums and Michael Devin (Kenny Wayne Shepherd) – bass.

This month, in june, after the long performances in USA, Whitesnake will play in Europe, in Russia, Norway, Sweden, UK, Italyu, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, The Cech Republic, Austria, Serbia, Romania, Bulgary and Turkey.

The tickets are sold exclusively through Eventim.ro and can be bought in the following shops Germanos, Orange, Vodafone, Domo, Humanitas, Cărturești and online on www.eventim.ro.

The tens of thousands of people that will go to the festival will enter the Festival area starting with 2 p.m. in each day of the festival, and the live performances are to start at 5 p.m.

New big names come to complete de line-up for B’ESTFEST 2011

If names such as Pendulum and Skunk Anansie came as a sunny day in the winter time, B’ESTFEST 2011 promisses even more fun when it comes to pleasing out thirst for good music.

And so the surprise doesn`t stop here. Four other names come to add more flavour to the already enough presence of Pendulum live performance in the line-up. This time we will travel from Lamb, the Manchester trip-hoppers, to the legendary House of Pain, to the british ravers from Hadouken, to the extraordinary mix of dub, rapcore, dancehall and hard ragga-jungle that is Asian Dub Foundation.

So from the point of view of the line-up, untill now, we can rest assured that our musical tastes are soon to be pleased for good.

But B’ESTFEST 2011 is not only about music. B’ESTFEST 2011 brings something new to the Bucharest scene. If we take into consideration that in 2007 the Festival meant two stages one next to the other in a parking-lot...we will have to say that this years concept changes radically our idea of in-city festival.

B’ESTFEST 2011 moves outside the city, in a an open space that is only 10 minutes away by car, from where it used to be until now. Moving the festival outside the city, brings more space and with this come more stages, a new camping site, and also more room for the crowds that will gather in the 3 days of the festival. This is how a Bucharest Festival brings a true alternative to the already legendary outdoor festivals such as Peninsula (TG Mures), Pepsi Sziget (Budapest) or Bugras Fest (Bulgaria).

The tickets are already being sold. There is also a discount period, an early bird perios as it is called. This period expires on March 22nd, 2011 so if you want to get your pass with a 20% discount, you better access this page for details (http://www.bestfest.ro/editia2011/en/bilete).

See you there!

Natalie Cole in cautarea lui Dracula

Natalie Cole a sustinul aseara o Conferinta de Presa cu ocazia recitalului pe care il va sustine in aceasta seara pe scena Salii Palatului, incepand cu ora 20. Cantareata a raspuns timp de aproape o ora la intrebarile puse de ziaristi prezenti in sala.

Cantareata nu a avut nici o problema in a recunoaste ca abia asteapta sa viziteze Transilvania unde ar vrea sa vada locurile pe unde a trait Dracula. Intrebata daca este curioasa sa guste mancarea romaneasca Natalie Cole a spus ca pentru inceput se va rezuma la bucataria cu specific international, cel mai probabil preparate italienesti, dar ca nu refuza ideea de a incerca cateva dintre bucatele romanesti. Un alt lucru de care e interesata cantareata Natalie Cole sunt pantofii italienesti produsi in Romania. Nu s-a sfiit sa admita ca inafara de Dracula, nu a mai auzit de vreun alt roman, actor, fotbalist sau cantaret.

Cu zambetul sau cald si luminos pe buze, Natalie Cole a povestit despre perioadele grele din viata sa, despre pierderea tatalui sau si mai tarziu despre dieta draconica pe care a trebuit sa o respecte dupa efectuarea transplantului de rinichi in luna mai a anului acesta. In timpul acestei diete diva nu a mai putut manca fructele atat de indragite ce fac parte in mod normal din dieta ei, ca sa nu mai vorbim de fripturi sau preparate mult mai grele.

Recitalul din aceasta seara va depinde foarte mult de reactia publicului, Natalie Cole preferand sa se lase influentata de moment in privinta stilului pe care il va aborda. Pe scena ea va fi acompaniata de un cvintet. Spre deosebire de alte vedete ce ne-au calcat pragul, Natalie Cole va purta o singura rochie in seara asta, dar a promis ca va fi una foarte frumoasa

Rain District a iesit la rampa cu Sounds I Hide

Noapte umeda de octombrie, vineri, inceput de weekend - ma indreptam spre Fabrica unde RainDistrict avea sa isi lanseze ultimul album,Sounds I Hide. Nu stiam de ei si ma asteptam la o trupa mediocra si la un sunet asemanator. In Fabrica, la ora 22 inca se aduna lumea, iar organizatorii imparteau Coca Cola alaturi de taraba unde era improvizat un stand de vanzare a albumului. Inauntru atmosfera era deja destul de incarcata iar fumul - puteai sa il tai cu cutitul.

Eram curios si nerabdator sa ii aud cantand pe cei 4, Alex Purje (lead vocals, guitar and percussion), Stefan (guitar, keys and programming),George (bass guitar) and Alex (drums and percussion). Nu a mai durat mult si cei 4 de la RainDistrict au urcat pe scena si melodiile de pe ultimul album au inceput sa curga, intr-un ritm atat de natural, cu un tempo de-a dreptul psihedelic, in care chitarele se impleteau cu tobele si sintetizatorul gratios manuit de Dl Lebowski alcatuind un dans ce incita pana la epuizare urechile ce parca fusesera demult lipsite de orice sunet, de savoare.

Automat am uitat de ideile cu care venisem si am spus ca ceea ce auzeam era muzica pentru urechile mele si astfel pe parcursul intregului concert de lansare am stat cu ele palnie pentru a ma lasa cat mai mult patruns de ceva ce era atat de nou, atat de original si in acelasi timp, atat de placut de ascultat. Si publicul a fost intru totul de acord cu mine.

Dar baietii de la Rain District nu au fost zgarciti si astfel dupa o ora, in care au cantat toate melodiile de pe disul de debut, cei 4 au inceput sa cante in avanmpremiera melodii de pe albumul care va aparea anul viitor. Pe scurt acest recital a fost unul ce mi-a incantat auzul si va ramane in sufletul meu pentru mult timp de acum incolo, aducandu-mi aminte de prestatia live a celor de la UNKLE, ce a avut loc in 2008 la Romexpo. Un sunet fresh, experimental, intotdeauna adaptabil, frumos, pasional, eclectic si plin de nerv.
