A working winter break

I'm temporarily putting the work on my songs on ice. My music has to wait a while as I don't have the time to give it full attention. The reason for that is a bit bigger endeavour I'm working on with my brother.

It's the design and execution of the first Croatian educational guitar portal called SviranjeGitare.com (sviranje_gitare = playing_guitar). The idea is for it to be a virtual classroom and a place for exchange of guitar knowledge and broader musical knowledge. As I believe that it is far more important in the long run, it is a priority for me to put that project firmly on it's feet. You can check out the pilot version and a number of published lessons here.

If you have any comments and ideas we could implement in the first version of the portal you can send them to any one of the email contacts that you can find on either my site or on SviranjeGitare.com. Every good idea or constructive critique is welcome.

If nothing else wish us luck.

As far as my site is concerned, I will try to get the forum and/or the mailing list started by the beginning of next year depending on the necessity and the time I'll find when I'm not working on the SG portal.

Happy holidays!

Concert in Zagreb

On Tuesday I'm playing live in Zagreb. The place is Caffe Bar "Tituš". The show starts at 9pm. Admittance is free. Look here for details.

As for the new features on the site, the newsletter or mailing list, and the forum or message board are definitely closer. They're coming soon!

I also have to apologize in advance if by any chance you won't be able to access the site sometime between October 28th and 31st. The reason is the changing of the web hosting provider. We'll try to make the downtime as short and as unnoticeable as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

New features on the site

The video page has been added. For starters you can view a recording from my first live performance at the DEMOBANDS Talent Festival held on September 20th this year. The festival was organized as a part of the Music Fair at the Zagreb Fair. I hope it continues next year because something like that is missing in Croatia.

There will be more footage. I have to thank Vedran Papeš for the brilliant camera action. This time it's Sunday Shuffle. Check it out and download it from Google.

The Web site Is Launched!

It is finally finished. After months of work it's all put together and alive. I've actually worked on the design and layout for the last year and a half. I hope you like the way it looks. My intention for it was to compliment the music. Kind of like an album cover. Any suggestions and comments are very welcome. Now I can focus more on my music :)

Things to come include the following:

  • information about my live performances
  • music and video streaming and downloads
  • show posters to download
  • photos, music and video from live shows

Of the top of my head that's all I can think of but there will be more.

If you're into fingerstyle guitar and can't find what you're looking for on my site, check out the links I've collected of some of the other fingerstyle guitar resources out there.

There is room for this site to grow. I'm planning to include an international forum in the future so that people can interact with each other and a mailing list so you can keep up to date with site developments and, more importantly the developments in my career.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go dust my guitar. :)
