Window with a view<\/h2>\n

The purpose of this recording was to create a window with a view to the elusive, the dreamy but also the every-day. Our life goes by and many times we do not have the time to observe it, to interpret it, to admire its beauty, to experience its difficulties and joys in all their magnitude. The order of the songs is essentially a single circle that evolves based on both their semantic and emotional connection, painting musically our own window\u2026<\/p>\n

Hidden Paths<\/h2>\n

\u201cHIDDEN PATHS is a quintessence of my career as a composer, comprising pieces that I consider to be representative of my work. My influences from classical music, music of the cinema and from Latin and Jazz, compose the overall style of this record, where musical inspiration is interwoven with personal experiance. Hence my effort to create descriptios and images and to evoke your own corresponding memories<\/p>\n

Minas Bogris plays guitar in 10 works of the album while in two of them (in tracks 1 and 8) he plays with George Tosikian as a duet. The edition is bilingual.<\/p>\nLegend record company 2010\n\nFind it (iTunes)<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 Find it (amazon.com)<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
