Milana Zilnik

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt38369504/ When filmmaker Arty Sandler and composer Milana Zilnik journey to the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, they step into a world bathed in endless daylight. For weeks, the midnight sun hovers above glaciers that crack and roar, while walruses tumble playfully across beaches and polar bears patrol the ice. But Quest for the Never-Setting Sun is not only abo...

The way she intonated and impersonated each character was just so fascinating to me. Her voice was the music I always heard before falling asleep, and as soon as I would actually fall asleep, the music kept going. Which was and still is som...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jrOSb8mlpk -- In this turbulent time I didn't even know whether to post this song or not. It was supposed to be a present for my husband's birthday back in January. The world was different back then. We couldn't finish recording it on time, though, so we postponed it to Valentine's day first and to my own birthday next. It happened a month ago but I wasn't m...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0z19i93eC4 I love it when my teaching process is fully mixed with my own studying of music. I often expand my own repertoire, while searching for singing student’s new challenges. And so it happens that this fun tune was a good challenge for all pianists and singers in my studio and, eventually, I liked it so much that I decided to do my own cover of it. It...

Video: https://youtu.be/3TtIgdcgtHE --- I like to see every musical project of ours as a journey - a journey from the idea to the final result, where the result itself is not that important. What is important is the journey itself. This piece is one of my favorite on this album, and to name it "Journey" was quite natural as it sounded like a caravan walking across a vast desert. The inspiration fo...
