GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ It's Official - Aria Is Releasing 'seeds' Our First Ep On November 29th

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 16 2012, 03:55 PM

Guys! I am incredibly happy and eager to announce that after almost 3 years of work, my band Aria is releasing the first official recorded material! A 6 song EP, called 'Seeds'. The release concert will happen on the 29th of November, in Bucharest and after that we will most probably start a tour in Romania, somewhere during February/ March.

The whole artwork will be ready next week hopefully, so I will have some previews for you guys biggrin.gif

Thank you very much gentlemen!! I will keep you updated with the whole deal wink.gif

But in the mean time, to answer vonhotch's question, we're working with Romania's most esteemed graphic artist (in the field of band artwork) his name is Costin Chioreanu and you can check out his stuff here: http://twilight13media.com/ He will also produce our first video.

More news coming soon biggrin.gif

Cosmin


That's excellent !

Just reading his short Bio, it's inspiring to see another person who started with nothing but their passion. None of the proper tools due to lack of availability. He's stuck to one thing (his passion) and now he's producing his art for bands that he admired. smile.gif

Indeed it is mate wink.gif Well, he had an expo in NY alongside Tony Iomi's Bio release laugh.gif

How cool is that? You get to expose your art while a rock legend releases a biography and you both share the audience!

Oh gosh! I am so stoked !!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 19 2012, 07:45 AM

Thank you gentlemen! At this point we are being extremely impatient and curious to receive the graphic artwork biggrin.gif and the official script for the video! It's so awesome! I can't believe that this is happening after that epic talk I had with Cezar back in 2008 in the balcony of a hotel far in the north. We were going to see Victor Wooten at the Garana Jazz Festival - the biggest jazz/ fusion event in Romania and we stopped for a night in a city on the way. That night we were talking and we decided we should start a band together...we began work in 2010, gigged for the first time in January 2012 and now... the release is 2 months away! biggrin.gif

Happens a lot Cosmin, finding a good, original band name is pretty hard.

I think I did it when I came up with Analyzed Within. I never found it when I googled it. Still don't find anyone else but me. biggrin.gif

Yeah - I think names based on nouns tend to be the more problematic ones.
