Lets face the music!

                  Do you feel like changing the radio station when there is a modern pop song on? Does it feel like you are listening to an older songs just recycled 10 times. There may be a reason why you feel like that!          Making a hit song is very expensive these days and with the revenue from album sales decreasing each year, record labels want to make sure their song will get to top. Ghost writing is nothing new in music industry, but for many big labels it became a standard way to make a Top 10 hit. That is why they dont want to risk their investments and make unecessary bets onto unproved song writers with new original ideas.            They call their best, one of them is Max Martin. A Swedish song writer with more than 20 number one hits which he wrote or co-wrote including Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" (2008), Maroon 5's "One More Night" (201...

            My  biggest musical project  was   my   last  band named  DoDNA , translated "into DNA" or more freely " bottoms  up ".  It  was  a  Jazz-Funk / Artrock  fusion  consisting  of  Tomáš   Hriň  on a  bass , Jakub  Mikula  on a  keyboard ,  Katka   Mikulová  on a  flute  and me on a  drums .           The  band was originally formed as a creative cooperation between Jakub and me, whom I knew from highschool.  We were later joined by his at the time girlfriend  Katka  and a bass player  Tomáš .   The first song is a playful funky tune based on initial bass melody i had one day in my head Strata pamäte - Studio version by do DNA   Second song was based on a 7/4 drum pattern into which Jakub created this amazing piano melody Jazzda - Studio version b...

      At the age of 15, I was asked to choose between a drum set or a new personal computer.  It wasn't a hard choice for me, altho I did spend a big chunk of my week playing games, but as a kid who was using any surface to make drum rhythms, I answered without hesitation. After about a year of playing any song I could think of, I decided I need a band, or at least someone else to accompany me in my noice making. Through my classmate in school a got into contact with a group of people who were playing in a small private music institution, but very soon I found out that my drumming skills werent good enough.

    If you asked me why I live on this planet,  I would say:  "Because earth is the only planet where you can find music" My fascination with music started around the time I was six years old, and I just go my first CD. It was The Great Escape by Blur and I listened to it on repeat for weeks, making my family go insane. From that moment I started collecting CDs and later songs on my PC, which led me to start playing drums at the age of fifteen.
