ON THE PERSONAL SIDE WITH MILASA
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Music

We asked Milasa a few simple questions:

*  Her influences

1. Hard to tell what exactly influenced me when I first started writing my songs. As any baby growing up I was learning the world. New images, new flavors, new words, new sounds... As all that accumulated, one day it might come out in some shape. In my case that was music... No doubts some life experience and the music I was listening at different times did influence me but I think it's quite impossible to say for sure. It could be Enia, Vangelis, New Age Music and Meditative music, Eric Clapton, Sade, Peter Gabriel, classical and folk music... The list goes on. The main push most likely was romantic feelings. 100 times the Beatles were right saying "All you need is love!" It really is all we need.


* Where does you music take you:

2. I can't say that my music puts me elsewhere outside of this world. To the contrary, I become more complete and feel that I'm doing right thing, especially when I get positive feedback from the audience. At this point of my life, music is why I am.


3. I always wanted to write my own songs. The first one came to being when I was 23. I've recorded an album at 25. Now I'm 27 and I'm still doing it. I keep writing my songs, making plans and hope that people will hear my music and some will like it...

INTERVIEW WITH MILASA (Part 1)
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Music

Milasa was born December 14, 1980 in Russia's Chelyabinskaya region, in Ural mountans,Trehgornyi city. Her musical education began at the age of six when her parents encouraged her to join a singing circle. The following year, her family decided that she should continue her studies at a specialized music school. Guitar lessons soon followed and then at the age of 16 she entered the musical college in nearby Ozersk city. After graduation at 19, Milasa continued her creative development in Moscow where she has entertained crowds at several Russian festivals over the past three years. In August 2005, at the invitation of producer Valery Alborov, she participated in the internationally renowned Fringe festival in Edinburgh, Scotland and earned much critical acclaim for her performance there. In March this year (2007 ) Milasa performed two songs, Prayer and Moon, with the highly acclaimed Russian guitarist Dmitry Chetvergov accompanying her on both guitar and keyboards. These superb performances were screened by a major national Russian television company through a programme called ProSVET. ProsVET is very popular with Russian audiences and hosted by the famous presenter Dmitry Dibdov. Again these excellent fully live renditions very succinctly demonstrated her immense talent in being able to reproduce the songs to the incredibly high standard of the album recordings. To hear Milasa sing in her native Russian is to bear witness to the pathos and melancholy memories that often seem to run through the heritage of the Russian soul.
Beautiful songs like Moon and Prayer could well take your heart on a journey that it might never fully recover from. Her voice is rich and deep but also in many ways fragile and tender, beautifully expressive so that although in Russian the listener is left in no doubt the depth of emotion being conveyed in her songs. Furthermore her guitar playing is of an exceptional quality in both its technical prowess and expression. Milasa could just as easily have entered the world of classical playing and achieved much success there. As with many artistic people Milasa also paints and draws and in fact much of her music appears to be a natural transformation of ideas transposed from the paper and onto a sound canvas., almost as though the two different mediums came from different sources to ultimately create the one expression. Release of Milasas solo album is scheduled for autumn 2006 and will very comprehensively display the full diversity of her writing and singing styles. Whether it is ballad, jazz, ethnic, techno or more contemporary styles these are all accomplished with consummate ease and with a maturity and assuredness of touch beyond her years. Added to which this album has many innovative and excellent production values, for although underpinned by her exceptional guitar playing these are beautifully supported by cello, flutes, electric guitar and a subtle, but always sensitive addition, of synthersized keyboards. Everything in these arrangements has its place and makes a very considered contribution to an extremely well balanced album. So to you the reader I encourage you to continue to follow the career of an exceptionally talented artist who will in the near future take her place at the very best venues the world has to offer.
