Goodbye Ivan

About Me

.. Goodbye Ivan is a project run by Arnaud Sponar Multi-instrumentalist coming from twenty years of extended musical experience, involved in researching different musical styles and performing in the bands Opak, Dice and Raincoat, among others ..Whether you are escaping trams in the center of Prague, getting lost in experimentalism in Berlin or on the verge of making drastic changes to your life in St. Petersburg, this music evokes all of these experiences.On stage, Goodbye Ivan combines the melodic sweetness of a Rhodes piano and a rocking and emotionally edged acoustic guitar with a symphony of a myriad of random sounds and objects.
The result is a mixture of rock and electronica bound to inspire both tears and the smashing of furniture.Past Shows :
