For my mom who introduced me to the beauty in sounds and colours. For my father, who shaped my diverse musical tastes and pushed me into improvising. For my husband who inspired me to come back to music and keep going no matter what challenges I might face. And for my amazing children, who I love and hope to pass this tradition to...

These past months have been challenging for all. I've been into my musical cave working on my upcoming album - the most challenging album we've ever attempted to produce. Almost all the recordings are done: Hang, drums and other percussion, piano and cello, even vocal for some tracks. What is left is to finish all the vocal recordings, hopefully, next week. This album will feature Phil DiMercurio on the drums, Yamaha artist Yoed Nir on cello and Canadian singer-songwriter Alexa Ray on most of the vocals. And then it will all be mixed by Grammy-featured Matthew Shell. Such a cool lineup and we all hope that you will enjoy this album when it goes out on Halloween. The name is "Abracadabra!" and it's full of magic, enchanting spells and mysterious witchcraft. Stay tuned :)

Liebestraume No 3 (F. Liszt). Performed by Milana

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.
