"THE HATCH" - the opening track from the upcoming "METAMORFOSI" is LIVE on streaming platforms! And we have a short lot of magnificently illustrated CDs as well!

This story is not about Alice. Although, we've all had Alice in our lives. As well as the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Jabberwock, in one form or another. This story is about you. This story is about me. 

These insane days I feel like more than ever I want to open some hidden hatch inside my piano to fall through a rabbit hole into a fantasy land, away from all the madness that I see around..

Many thanks to Yoed Nir for the magnificent cello, Vitaliy Tkachuk for the magical guitar, Craig Akin for the dramatic bass, Phil DiMercurio for the drums and percussion, Diana Lloyd for shaping my voice, Justin Gray for bringing it all home in one stunning mix, and Anastasia Frenkel for illustrating the story in such a wondrous way! And, of course, thanks to my husband, Arty Sandler, for believing in three crazy things before breakfast and making them real!

"DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE" - the 2nd single from “METAMORFOSI” is LIVE on streaming platforms! And we have a short lot of magnificently illustrated CDs as well!

This story is not about Alice. Although, we've all had Alice in our lives. As well as the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Jabberwocky, in one form or another. This story is about you. This story is about me. 

When I hear different sounds in my head and then touch the piano, or the Hang, or sing it with my own voice - quite often I feel like falling down the rabbit hole into the world that only exists in the music itself, painted with the brush strokes of notes and in the silence between them.

“The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. ”

Many thanks to Vitaliy Tkachuk for the magical guitar, Yoed Nir for the magnificent cello, Craig Akin for the dramatic bass, Phil DiMercurio for the orchestral drums and percussion, Diana Lloyd for shaping my voice, Justin Gray for bringing it all home in one stunning mix, and Anastasia Frenkel for illustrating the story in such a wondrous way! And, of course, thanks to my husband, Arty Sandler, for believing in three crazy things before breakfast and making them real!

“Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end! I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?”

"CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER" - the third track from "Metamorfosi" album telling the story of a composer who wanted to write music for "Alice in Wonderland" and found herself falling through a rabbit hole opened in her piano. This track is the chapter following her fall, the first encounter with the bizarre world of "Metamorfosi" on the other side.

This story is not about Alice. Although, we’ve all had Alice in our lives. As well as the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Jabberwocky, in one form or another. This story is about you. This story is about me. 

My life has been swirling around Wonderland for a long time. I have two cats who are as mischievous as Cheshire’s smile. I have Mad Hatter for a husband, crazy enough to believe in three impossible things before breakfast and all day long, and even crazier to make them real. I have Tweedledee and Tweedledum for kids, complementing each other in curious ways. I have my own inner demons to fight against, be it the Red Queen or Jabberwocky. 

Together with my Mad Hatter we’ve been playing this eternal chess game of Metamorphosis, transforming dreams into reality. We both felt like Alice’s story just wanted to hatch through our music into the wonder of this world. And it finally did, bending time and reflecting the sky. All we had to do is making the choice to follow the White Rabbit down the Rabbit Hole. It took us to places we’ve never been before. And this journey becomes Curiouser and Curiouser ever.

We are all mad here!

Curiouser And Curiouser

"Curiouser And Curiouser" from "Metamorfosi" by Milana Zilnik

It's about the difference from dreams and reality

Lyrics; 

In my dreams 
can make it 

in my dreams 
can see 

you're so close 
can't find it 

you're so free 
can't see 

In my dreams 
i will reach you 

in my dreams 
i will see you

what you see is 
what you pray for 

in my dreams 
it will be 

I can see 
strange things happening 

is this real 
is this true 

are they joking 
are they laughing 

it's for me 
it's for you 

don't be anxious 
don't be scared 

go on walking 
go on through 

In my dreams 
i can brake it 

in my dreams 
i will see 

must be conscious 
must be real 

my heart is breaking 
i will be free


composed, played, recorded, produced Samuel Christen
photography by Natalia Ciric

disappeared to be myself

Dreaming for free

by way of introduction;  i  fear this is the most lovely piece of music i'll ever produce.  as a dedicated artist, it hurts to believe you've peaked in any facet of your craft but if i can ever do lovely better, i'll buy a lottery ticket and try to clear a 5' high-jump later that day.

Another Forest Says Farewell (a Planetary Finnstrumental / RIP Neil Peart)

I basically wanted to try and do an instrumental, something that sounded pleasant and sweet. I came up with a chord progression and as I listened to it played back it made me think of a place we used to live when I was a child called Idaho Falls, Idaho.
    I was about 5 or 6 yrs old and we lived in an old farm house with a huge yard and I remember the old horse corral way in the back and the old mare that lived there.
   I remembered the dandelions in the summer that would literally blanket the back yard and how beautiful I thought it was (I know its just a weed)and remember running around and playing fetch with my dog Runt. I guess if I had to pick the most peaceful time in my life it would be when we lived in Idaho Falls!

Kraken mare is a huge lake on titan. It's not made of water, though, but made of methane. It must be an incredible sight to see saturn rise on titans horizon while standing at it's shore....

Where Giants roam the Earth there is a Giant piano - The Piano As Big As a Tree.

In the summer of 2015 I had the amazing chance to play the biggest upright piano in the world - "The Giant", made by David Klavins (@thepianoguy), the renowned pianomaker. 

When I touched "The Giant" for the first time, this very piece was born under my fingers. We called it "The Piano As Big As a Tree".

I knew right away that one day I would compose a whole album for this extraordinary piano.

This year my dream finally came true! Thank you for the inspiration, David!

This was the song of my youth. I wanted to sing it for over 20 years yet only now I felt like I am ready for that. Like many others I was shocked this year to know that Dolores is gone. This cover is our little tribute to her and her unique voice. I hope I did it justice. Many thanks to my husband Arty who is always there for me and who produced this video. Many thanks to Diana Sharp for helping me to find my voice.

This year has started quite busy not leaving much time for new recordings. Here is another popular song that some of my students asked me to teach them how to play and sing it.

On another note :) Last year thanks to your votes I got the chance to play on the stage of Berlin Philharmonie! This year you can help me perform in Place des Arts in Montreal! All I ask you to do is to nominate my album! For that all you need to do is just to send an email to eprawards@gmail.com with the subject "EPR NOMINATIONS" and the following text:

"Milana Zilnik 
Where Giants Roam The Earth
Best Solo Piano Album"

Thank you!

"Shallow" ("A Star Is Born") performed by Milana Zilnik (Video)

I used to make synthesizer music back in the early 90ies with a roland synth, an Atari ST and a 4track recorder, but was never satisfied with the results. So for some years i returned to classic piano.

 I was overwhelmed by the possibilities of todays software when i started making electronic music again in 2010. My music is made with my computer, Mu-Lab as DAW and Vst's like Camel Audio Alchemy or free one's like synth1.

A big "Thank you" to everyone who takes the time to listen to my stuff and for every comment. I hope you enjoy the music i make!
