#1 LIVE SESSION
- session with strings -
Naším cieľom je natočenie "live session", teda profesionálneho záznamu živého vystúpenia so sláčikovým kvartetom Mucha Quartet v priestoroch Oázy v Starej tržnici v Bratislave.
V roku 2020 sme boli produkciou programu odovzdávania filmových cien "Slnko v sieti" oslovení na "naše" spracovanie Balady o poľných vtákoch. Odvtedy sme túto skladbu hrali už aj v našej aranži so sláčikmi na viacerých festivaloch, naposledy v septembri ako headlineri festivalu Bratislava City Sounds, a naše prevedenie sa dokonca páčilo aj Miroslavovi Žbirkovi, ktorý skladbu napísal. V rámci tohto projektu by sme radi natočili hlavne túto skladbu, ako poctu Mekymu.

V rámci tohto projektu máme v pláne natočiť aj dve naše skladby.
Skladba Čakám je súčasťou nášho prvého albumu Sleepin' With The Lights On, ktorý sme vydali v júli 2020 a bol ocenený v ankete Radio_Head Awards ako debutový album roka, tiež sme dostali ocenenie Tatra Banky pre mladého tvorcu.
Skladba Cry je z nášho druhého albumu Blossoms Of Your World, ktorý sme vydali v septembri 2021 a spolupracoval na ňom aj svetoznámy masteringový inžinier Vlado Meller, ktorý v USA mastroval albumy Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Michaela Jacksona, Pink Floyd, Metallicy, Celine Dion a mnohých ďaľších svetových hviezd. Na albume Blossoms Of Your World nám taktiež nahrával bicie bubenník Brandon Combs z Detroitu, ktorý hrá v kapelách spevákov Leon Bridges, či John Legend a basgitarista Bryan White z Los Angeles, ktorý spolupracoval so Stevie Wonderom. O oboch albumoch písali aj zahraniční hudobní kritici. Viac sa môžete dozvedieť v našom online portfóliu.

Celkové náklady na realizáciu natočenia live session zahŕňajú náklady na zhotovenie a spracovanie zvukovej nahrávky, rental kamery a svetelnej techniky na osvetlenie priestoru, prenájom priestoru, náklady na postprodukciu videa a honoráre sláčikového kvarteta.
Ak Vás naša vízia presvedčila, budeme Vám vďační za akúkoľvek pomoc, ktorá nás priblíži k realizácii tohto projektu.
#2 LIVE SESSION
- session with a full band -
Tiež by sme chceli podobným spôsobom zrealizovať "live session" s kapelou a nahrať naše skladby s rytmickou sekciou.
Spolupracovali by sme primárne s bubenníkom Davidom Hodekom, so S.V.A. Triom (sláčikovým triom, s ktorým sme spolupracovali na oboch albumoch) a ďaľšími hudobníkmi (basgitara, klávesy, vokály, perkusie)

“The couple, who met at the Prague Conservatory, reap success after success and after their short concert in the crowded hall followed a deserved long standing ovation.”
- GARAI Tomas, Hudba Sk Magazine
,,The members of the jury are used to a high standard of performing, but these two young people still seemed to be revelations. They showed essential musicality, extraordinary good intonation, suggestive phrasing, and flawless orientation in harmony as Kristin improvises with ease and charm. Her expression is not unlike the fantastic Gretchen Parlato. Jakob accompanies creatively and with humility, sensitively creating an environment in which the singer feels good."

"Kristina showed 100% control over her vocal cords, not only by intonation or selection of tone colors but also by setting them in time. The singer and modest guitarist with no less precise technique and feeling gave the impression that in addition to musical harmony, it seemed like they have also synchronized inhalations and exhalations.”
