mojcART live

mojcART had the first gig abroad. Freilassing is a small town in Germany, right across the border of Salzburg/Austria. People welcomed us with such warmth and generosity... We felt really good and hope they did too, listening to the music we had to offer. Pero and me decided, this was not the last trip to a foreign country. The next day we visited Salzburg and played a little in the beautiful Mirabell park. Some caught moments of the gig.

Salzburg garden moment:

.dance in the city.

Hello dear musicians, friends, colleagues, friends & foes.

Just thought, I'd write a little something, since it's been quite a while. At the moment I'm excited to be in the studio again, recording new songs,..Singing, playing guitar, clapping, laughing and trying out new stuff. Matej is supportive as always, keeps boosting my caffeine level and is innovative with the sound. Pero is patiently waiting for his moment:)

Leaving you with a few caught moments from yesterday.Also had the chance to stand behind the lens,ahh..I'm learning sth new every day..Thnx Matej!

A little piece of the new song DANCE IN THE CITY.

"This dance in motion without emotion
we can't go on like this.
The act of passion is beat by fashion,
I won't face defeat"

can't wait for you to consume it once it's whole.. Keep you updated, stay creative!

the v i s i o n

It’s inside of us
it’s the machine that takes control
it never pretends it always demands
clearer as the day

this dream we share
is bigger then the vision
we can bare
hold on to me,
this ride is gonna be wild!

take time
to notice the life around you
your background that defines you
shapes your heart

we drink from the same glass
to avoid this mess we’re in
we all have a different taste
but in the end we satisfy our thirst

The echo of our hearts
reaching out to find you
move you ‘till you feel your
inside melting down

.never when it rains.

Hello dear bloggers;)

it's been a while since I've written anything here.
But I haven't been sleeping. The songs,texts and thoughts keep growing in my black book. Just a few more pages and it's full... I've taken some time off during summer,as you all know, the 16 bands I'm in, do take some energy and time;)

I haven't been in the studio with Matej for a while now, but I've kept on recording ideas on my own. The last song we've recorded there, was one of the first ones I wrote. I remember coming into the Mush-room:), Matej has set the mic and plugged in the guitar cable.. First I've recorded the guitar and after that I sang. I haven't managed to record a better take to fit in with the song later,after a few months.. So I've just kept the first one! (except for the back vocals and some additional stuff..).
It's a special song,..not only because of it's content and all of the emotions attached to it.. but,because of the whole recording process and the people who joined and helped to make it sound even sweeter:)

It's amazing how this song has grown. Like a child. And now it finally stands and walks on it's own. Maybe it will walk towards you, talk to you, smile at you:)

whatever you feel listening to it, be sure, I've felt it too when I've wrote it and sang it. And I still do,..everyone starts anew every now and then. And it's always the people around us,..that are important, aren't they? Remember the ones who stand by you, the ones you can call in the middle of the night! They're like a song, you remember and listen to when you need comfort. Doesn't matter how old it gets, you remember it.. even in 20 years! :)

Close some doors. Not because of pride, but because that no longer fits your life.

.back to the roots.

Back to the roots.

drums.
guitar.
bass.
voice.

This is how I picture it. Simple but sufficient. People with the same passion for MUSIC. People who.. not only play music, who feel it and can't breathe without it. Who like to share it with others, just cuz of the joy it brings! People who want to unite their melodies, aspects, interpretations... For the magic results. No egos. No excessive egos. Although, cooperating with egos can bring good results, I'm still convinced, positive encouragement and motivation can do too!

No one want's to make music and be creative in a negative environment,right? I'm sure most of you musicians would agree. If you don't, well then you haven't experienced it before, but you should! The good relationships between the members are essential! Everyone should be aware of each-others strengths and support them!

Anyways, I'm up to something. I feel it could be a start of something really good. I'll keep you up to date every now and then. All I can say is, it's going to be awesome!! If it's not awesome, then it'll probably be pretty awesome!:D

last but not least:

treat others as you wish to be treated.

.DIY.

After a conversation I had with Matej, talking about how to approach the next recording.., he had convinced me, to try to record each instrument by myself. As I'm not the most confident person and musician on the planet, I had my doubts.. (still have them :D ), but I thought, I had to give it a try! I think the one thing, that keeps us from trying and experiencing new stuff.. is the fear. The breaks in our head. Low self-esteem. Sometimes, we just need a little push from the ones,who really believe in us! At least, that works for me! :D

So after a great meal we cooked with Matej, Pero joined us (which reminds me, he'll have to cook for us next time) we went downstairs to the mush-room :D Then we set the tempo for the song and I've recorded the acoustic guitar, just to have an idea how the song and the form work. After a little jam I've added a bridge, which fit perfectly to the verse and the chorus:)
Matej had suggested that the guitar would need a different sound, since it's not going to be an acoustic song.. and soon I've heard that we're definitely going with the e-guitar. We picked something crunchy for the verse.. and later on added additional keyboard sounds, which just works great with one another - but I'm still letting this option open for different sounds. But totally going for LESS and UNUSUAL :) So I've recorded the verse and added a few things to the acoustic guitar in the chorus. Since I've had a few problems with playing that part with the same technique and dynamic as I did with the acoustic one, I just left it this way for now. It sounds pretty cool though, but it'll be different with the drums over that.

Drums are the coolest instrument ever.. I always wanted to own a set, but due to the loud noises which they produce, I got a guitar for my 14th birthday :) oh well.. But any chance I get, I just love to sit and play (before I lose my mind and complain about the legs and the arms...and how they have minds of their own:D ).
So i sat and just tried a few beats. I wanted to start very simple, so I could build the beat to the chorus (for which I didn't really have any ideas yet, so I've left it open for now..). I've just been trying to play what I felt at the moment,without thinking about it before.. Matej just recorded that and it's amazing when I hear it afterwards.. not because it's played that well,haha.. but just because I never know how I come up with ideas on an instrument I never play. Only if you count the air drums :D

That's the beauty of jamming right? Either with an instrument, or with your voice and lyrics. It just flows out of you, you don't know where it came from, but you somehow know for certain ,you're never gonna run out of ideas! :)

go for it and Do It Yourself! :)
