Lucian Manea

Hello and thank you for your visit. My name is Lucian Manea, was born in Bucharest Romania, moved to US at age 10 and ever since I've been playing violin. Origianlly studied classical and expanded my horizons some years ago by exploring world-ethnic, roots, traditional, modern classical, jazz and blues styles. Recently am rediscovering what violin and where its possibilites can go. Within last 6 years I have also picked and self taught various composition approaches. As you can see I love all kinds of music which have influenced me. My compositions are basically a new genre, a new category with some influences from Gypsy, Byzantine Empire, Balkan, Medieval, Latin, Middle-east, Greek, Spanish to African, Ottoman Empire, Classical, Modern Classical, 60s creative Jazz, Free Jazz, Avant Garde styles and I bring new roots and direction to them. I write original material and am in long term creating projects with small and large group of musicians. Am presently looking for musicians or bands to improvisde or play material based on the following styles: MODERN CLASSICAL, 60S JAZZ, AVANT GARDE, GYPSY, MIDDLE-EASTERN, OTTOMAN EMPIRE, BYZANTINE EMPIRE,BALKAN,SPANISH,LATIN,GREEK,AFRICAN,ASIAN please contact me at ([email protected]) At this time I have finished writing down music to make my 1st preofessional album and am in search of a record label/recording comapany that can sponsor for the recording and paying of musicians to learn and produce these world premiere recordings.
