Hello,everybody and welcome to my web-site pages!It`s nice to have you here,and i really hope that you`ll have a nice time during your traveling in my history and music. First-let me introduce myself.My name is Anton Vishanov Vishanov,i was born in 4 of December,1975 in Kazanlak.It`s a small town,right in the middle of my country,Bulgaria.I started to play guitar when i was 16 years old.I just grabbed an acoustic guitar,(which had only the first and the sixth strings on it,haha)and i understood that i was born to play on this instrument,so i took the difficult way of being musician. And-here i am standing before you,completely naked,hehe!I played a lot of music styles while i was learning how to create my own one,and also i was copying many of my favorite guitar heroes.Like Steve Vai(my most favorite!),Joe Satriani,Paul Gilbert,John Petrucchi and many others. Of course,i like so much and the older generation of guitar heroes-Richie Blackmore,Carlos Santana,Jimmy Hendrix,Eric Clapton.They`ve given so many things to the music,which we(the present generation musicians)are trying to develope and popularize.But like i said-i have a little,soft spot in Steve Vai,not because he is one of the most popular guitar virtuosos in the world,but because he is the one with the biggest imagination.Guitar solos are great when it has played quickly,but it`s greater when there is mind and feeling inside,don`t you think?So may be i was a little prejudiced,while i was modulating my own style of playing,and may be you`ll find many common things with my idols and spiritual teachers as guitarist and singer;-)But don`t judge me so tough-it is just the way i am,the way i feel it. I also occupy extremaly with autor`s music,i compose my own songs,instrumentals and other music projects,which i am very proud of!So may be that is why i am trying to put in the cover versions i play a little piece of me.Otherwise,you better play the piece on your radio or TW,hehe.Since i was schoolboy and teenager,i have played in many bands with different styles-clasic and hard rock,pop,alternative,even trash and death metal(yeah!).It made me understood that every kind of music has its own beauty and charm,depence of if you could feel and realize it.After my going out of the army,there were two differents roads in front of me-to start some job(not connected with music)and having music like a hoby,just for fun.And the other-being a proffesional musician,even i can`t play all the time the music i like most.Since you`re reading this,you already know what i decided,haha.I choosed the difficult road of being proffesional musician because it is so importatnt for me to be inside the music in every single moment of my life-until my time is come.That`s the way i wanna live,and the way i`ll be really happy,otherwise i`m sure-someday i`ll day with eyes opened!That`s the way i`m following my dream and final destination-to be a real star one day,haha.And nothing`s gonna stop me! So...In the begining i started playing with lot of different bands,mostly at clubs,pubs and night bars in Bulgaria.Then we received an offer for making tours in Scandinavia,and we did it.So i`m playing already 6 years in Norway,Danmark and Germany.These are some of my x-bands- Boomerang band,REVIVAL,and Riverstones-with the last we played most in Norway.But,i guess something was always missing.Then i felt that i`m never satisfied of quality or my coleagues attitude to music and and i decide to continue my career alone,like a troubadour.Like they say-"Even alone-the warrior is warrior...",hehe.This way i can realize my musical ideas and fantazies,as i hear and feel them.And this is very important for me,and i guess-for the listeners too.My job as troubadour is bringing to me a lot of joy and pleasant emotions,i really enjoy it so much!I could have a closer contact with the public,and make them a part of my show,so they would enjoy it much more as a participants too.And of course,the reaction is much warmer;-)As you see in my demo i heve included songs of differnts styles and autors,so i wish there`s something for everyone here.Isn`t it my job-to satisfy your musical tastes,haha.All of these songs are recorded in my modest home studio and some of them-through my live show;-)All the vocals and instruments was sung,played or aranged by me,which i am very proud of!Of course,i thinks i`m developing myself,records and live show i make every day and day,so i`ll keep loading the newest stuff here,as soon as i can.My job in the studio and at the stage is very exiting and i wish it will never end,cause i really feel happy this way.Thanks to God,my family and good friends-without their help and support i would make it!Also i wanna thank so much to my partners in the studio work Nenko Petrov and Galin Rachev,for their understanding and friendship.Thanks God you exist,guys-i love you all!As a begining enough,haha.Enjoy the music i am giving to you and remember-this is only my point of view,and all the songs are just cover-vers |
