LechovitZ started of in the late 80's with a band called Damned don't cry, (named after a song on the second album by Visage). A four piece band influenced by punk, wave and funk. After a mood swing the bands initials "DDC" were transformed into Ducks don't cycle. In this period they recorded 1 album (Amazing discoveries) and delivered 1 single called "Suzan", backed up with a cover version of the Prince track "When doves cry". After 4 years the band split up and LechovitZ continued as a solo artist. At first in a traditional way of writing pop songs using only real instuments. Inbetween he was involved in a side project with the name L-star, producing laid back instrumental popmusic, but it never passed the demo stage. 2 years later he found his way into computers. Influenced by all kinds of music the songs started to turn more into musical pieces than songs. A development which led up to a next level. In 2002 LechovitZ composed "Riverside" a 30 minute piece which formed the base of a firework display in the centre of Shanghai (China). The close collaboration between Lechovitz and a pyrotechnical team led up to a magnificent display of sounds and vision. LechovitZ was also involved in a nine days music and firework extravaganza in the Nagasaki area of Japan.Myspace Contact TablesHere an impression of creating a display in Shanghai. Shame i am not in the pictures but, someone had to take them. We worked for 3 days to get it all into place. All of this just for a 30 minute display, but it was worth it.
"Riverside" was voted best musical score of the festival. Giving confort, keeping in mind that total preparation took more than 9 months.
For your pleasure i compiled an album.
16 tracks composed, arranged and performed by LechovitZ.
Enjoy
