Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDql6PSmrmI --- Summer nights were hot, long and fruitful. She couldn't get enough of her piano, playing old songs, composing new ones. He was busy learning how to record what she was playing for him and with him. Her first song was born one of those nights... "It's about time" was its name and it was about time for them to finally share something together......

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI6K9DqncZQ -- He did too much, though, not what she wanted. She did not do enough, though, she could not see it. Disgust and anger left nothing but devastation behind. For what they've done, the only feeling they could share now was... GUILT... The eighth track from my new album "Yet Another Love Story", telling the story of my love and music: from the antic...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTpGmiq0mPc --- She was thinking that breaking habits is a cleansing experience. He was literally breaking everything that was within the reach of his hands. /Concerts in Toronto/: https://www.facebook.com/events/160877831101596/ https://www.facebook.com/events/1381798751904391/ They both had it all wrong for a while. It was furious and raw, while their love was boi...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxB3T5YS17s ---- I received so many birthday wishes, thank you, dear friends :) I feel blessed with music and love! ... And speaking of music, and love, and "Yet another love story"... I know I promised to post one track each week but, by a funny coincidence the next track is... "Disgust". And I feel a bit awkward to post it today :D So.... "Show must go on" ? Or I...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKFie3E_tok ---- As there is no light without darkness, so, is no love without despair. He was busy at work and with his own projects. She was exhausted with her own home business. https://itunes.apple.com/album/yet-another-love-story-live/id1210505002 https://milana.bandcamp.com/album/yet-another-love-story What was once connected turned into parallel lives...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq0HMLOAZUA --- It was the longest winter of their life... That March some years ago was cold and gray... so were their thoughts and feelings... Days passed by, leaving no memories, no joy, no happiness... Icicles of hurtful words played the melody of... SADNESS... The ninth track from my new album "Yet Another Love Story", telling the story of my love and music: fr...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4HMF3aEoO8 --- New Spring brought warmth and colors... Memories of the first years together showed back, gaining strength, overpowering the turmoil. She was changing her list of Rights and Wrongs, Shoulds and Shouldn'ts. Her abandoned piano got to feel her touch again, shy and timid, raging and hopeful. Through those keys she was discovering back her whole s...

Video and Behind-the-scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ5MHfWv3Zk --- There is no love story that is unique, yet no love story is the same. My love happened to be deeply intertwined with music and with my husband. When he asked me to improvise different feelings on my piano, I didn't think it would end up as a story of our life: from the anticipation of the first date, from the surprise and...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXrDzrEqhiU They moved to live together in a small cozy apartment at the middle of a green park. For both of them it was the first time of living together with someone. With all the joys and...well, compromises one needs to make. https://itunes.apple.com/album/yet-another-love-story-live/id1210505002 https://milana.bandcamp.com/album/yet-another-love-story Af...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Xu0HLnLYo --- They met a few times before but it wasn't _their_ time just yet. One late evening, back in 2002, they happened to chat online and at some point he asked her "Why are we chatting online if I can drive and be at your place in less than an hour?" https://itunes.apple.com/album/yet-another-love-story-live/id1210505002 https://milana.bandcamp.com/a...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZt-JbH_sLg --- It's been a busy start of the year: a concert in Markham (Ontario), a video shoot, students, recording sessions - I didn't have much time to record or compose anything new. Neither I had time to follow your new music - I apologize for that! Hopefully, I will have a bit more time in February :) Here is a new composition from me, kind of a test-...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2lelxxkjSc --- I wanted to compose an upbeat and a bit edgy soundtrack with some unusual fusion of styles and instrumentation. So, it turned into some kind of electro-ethnic-orchestral composition, starting with an ethnic percussion and a bass guitar and progressing into a full symphonic orchestra with cellos, violins, woodwinds, trombones, french horns, tru...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T9zAxkkM4w --- I know, it's October already, but here is a bit of summer for you - "August". Composed by Tchaikovsky, performed by truly yours.

I am trying to build a presence in there, so I appreciate your subscriptions and shar...

This is 13th track from my recent album "Una Corda Fantasia". I've never seen Northern Lights in my life but I hope to see some in the future. This must be one of the most magnificent experiences to have.

This is 11th track from my recent album "Una Corda Fantasia". One of the more ambient and melancholic ones. Which reflects my mood now, when the summer is over and it's cloudy and nearly raining, and it's the last day of my mom's visit before she flies back. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/album/una-corda-fantasia/id1083953221 BandCamp: https://milana.bandcamp.com/album/una-corda-fantasia Video A...
