We just had a crazy couple of weeks filled with events at Capitale, The Metropolitan Club and a gorgeous garden on Long Island.   We have officially hit the season running and once again are grateful to our adventurous clients that allow us creative freedom to create fairydust for their events.

Our ceremony at Capitale was visually stunning in the round and the chuppah looked as though it was floating in the center of the room.  Our bride and groom were classically sophisticated but still wanted the repertoire to reflect their personal style.  We customized the arrangements to add drama to fit the grandeur of the space.  Having so many pieces can be challenging if people race down the aisle, but it is always our job to time out the pieces and cue each person when to enter so that the songs have a chance to build and create a soundscape.  (I love my job!)  For string quartet with piano they chose:

Officiant & Grandparents:
"Young at Heart" by Johnny Richards


Bridal Party
"Just For A Moment" by David Foster

Bride's Mother
"Orchestral Suite #2, Gavotte" by Bach

Groom and his Parents
"It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars

Children
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John

Bride
"Defying Gravity" by Stephen Schwartz from "Wicked"

Recessional
"Marry You" by Bruno Mars

Turntable Tuesday

~ Ted Ganung

For this weeks edition of Turntable Tuesday I bring a very chilled & cool tune  "The Shalako" by Mytilene based producer DJ mSdoS. This tune is full of rolling beats, funky grooves & jazzy melodies and is just in time for summer! Chris "Dj mSdoS" Kouzellis is based in the Greek Islands and is quickly becoming the new King of Liquid Drum & Bass with his countless and non-stop quality productions, Chris truly shows us what it takes to become an expert. Also don't miss the collaboration on "Mytilene 2 New York" between mSdoS & Bianchi Musica that will be released May 10th!!!

Turntable Tuesday

~  Ted Ganung

For this edition of Turntable Tuesday I bring a very special production of "Kyrie" that is a collaboration between me, Bianchi Musica, and iconic Greek Producer Chris Kouzellis aka "DJ mSdoS." For awhile now Pilley and I have been experimenting with live instruments combined with DJing and electronic beats. For this production of "Kyrie," Pilley gave me four different individual string parts that I would time stretch, warp and twist to fit a liquid drum & bass beat. I then began to write a new bassline, keyboard parts, and start design different sound effects. I than sent the parts to mSdoS who would made a smooth rolling beat and perfected the arrangement & mixdown. Currently the track is set to be released on all the best Music Stores May 10th, and has already been supported by DJ's around the world.
