About Me

RIP Richard Wright - I hope Syd and Richard are playing the greatest 'gig in the sky' right now.
Those chords showed my path for this career...
Pink Floyd will never be the same without you!
This 15th September 2008 was a very, very sad day for all musicians.
My work with Jon Anderson - The legendary voice of Yes!
You can also listen one of our songs.
As I promised before, I can now reveal some of my new projects with Jon Anderson, the legendary voice of Yes!
In 2006 I was among the lucky winners of a web-contest held by Jon, requesting experienced musicians and orchestrators.
So now we're involved together in a vast array of multi-genre musical and multimedia projects (it's a long story, really).
I'll post some new tracks when I'll get the approval from Jon & the publishers.
Right now you can listen "The Shape of Things to Come", a track that (for sure) initially had completely other purposes, but Jon kindly co-written and then wrote those beautiful lyrics!
Well... we're both so happy that we can work together and in short time you'll see some "wonderous stories" around!
Happy Everything, Sorin Voinea & Jon Anderson
And a more recent one...
Beside my work with Jon Anderson, Nicu Alifantis & Zan and Mircea Vintila I'm proud to announce my collaboration and partnership for a new album with Mircea Baniciu
Well, what can I say ... maibe it's better to take a look at my CV, made by someone who knows pretty well my past(found it on Net, I didn't make it). If you're not really interested on my past you can skip this part, I knowthis can be pretty boring... :)

Comments containing links may be deleted, blatant self-promotion, too. I don't have a page on Facebook, LinkedIn,
Netlog or other Web 2.0 sites, so here's the only place where
you can contact me or find news about me and my work.
I don't have a blog and I'll never have one.
Finally, creative use of the keyboard to make pretty pictures
is very clever, but also very annoying. 40 lines of squiggles,
dashes and dots may mean that a perfectly good comment is deleted. Please consider this before submitting anything.

Thank you for reading.
