Today I would like to Reblog a post I wrote last June!
For who loves Music and for my new followers that maybe missed this post! Make sure to see the original post for photos and videos. June 13 I had the priviledge to attend a great Concert in Los Angeles the magic guitars of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai I hope you enjoy! I always love your comments! <3
This post is my testimony for a one of a kind event. Yesterday, I had the privilege to attend one of the best concerts featuring legendary Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Also performing was Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders! It was a magical evening where some of the best guitarrist in the world were playing their amazing music and gave us the gift to see them performing together. This concert also had a great cause. It was a benefit concert in support of Cliff Cultreri their good friend and music-industry veteran. Cultreri is the A&R executive who “discovered” Satriani, Vai and other great artists while working at Relativity Records and Koch Entertainment. Cultreri is suffering from a host of auto-immune and connective-tissue disorders simultaneously attacking his immune system, it is a 1 in 100 million occurrence causing severe pain and debilitating. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai got…
The concert of this London band was worth the waiting. Expectations were fulfilled, with a 2 hours wide range of songs going from oldies like “You make me feel” to the latest “Distorted Angels” and “Kid Corner”, passing through classics like “Dangervisit”, “Fuck You”, a beautiful version of “Bullets” performed by Pollard Berrier and the splendid encore “Lights” (yes, thinking of you Carolina…).
Some shivers and a tear on “End of our days” performed by Holly Martin…
If you are curious about this concert, you will find the complete footage of the night before in Nantes HERE.
Two more good points: the venue “le Bikini”, which acoustically speaking was just perfect and the very good opening act, a four Belgian boys band called BRNS (read Brains) which have obviously been fed with good brit alt-rock during their childhood. Here is a taste of it…
Today EWIAN announced and post their “New Video” from the new coming soon Album!
I am so excited to post it here because I love their music and I think Ewian is a GREAT Composer and I want to share their music with you, they are part of our great community on WP and this new video is awesome!!!
I Can’t wait for the new Album!
I am also so happy because I found out watching the video that there are some screenshots, of the photos I used to make my Portrait #6for me is amazing how the atmosphere of my portrait match with Ewian video, I feel like to see my portrait alive!!! How wonderful!
I am aware that this type of music is not for everyone but it is a genre that I really like, my other favorite band lately is “Archive” this type of music is what I listen while creating my Art.

“WHEN NATURE MEETS HUMANS” Digital Portraits Collection
Portrait #6 – EWIAN –
Today I am sharing with you my New Portrait for this unique Digital Art Collection “When Nature Meets Humans” created out of digital photo-manipulation, each portrait is a blend of multiple photos representing nature and persons. I started to develop this concept about two months ago and since then I created five unique portraits.
This is Portrait #6 – EWIAN
Last week Ewian was the Featured on my “Weekly Featured Blogs Event” taking place every Saturday, if you missed the post you can see it here.
Ewian is a great music composer from Germany and his beautiful music and videos, inspired me on creating my new Portrait for this unique Collection. A black and white portrait in connection and symbiosis, reflecting Ewian style and Alternative Post-Rock music.
I used some of the great photos found on EWIAN Blog blended with photos of the “Black Forest” located in Germany. This beautiful forest rapresent the nature greately.
I like to experiment and continually evolve with my Art and creativity. From years I love to work in digital searching and testing new ways of visualization. I love Photography and like to work with photos, manipulating images and transforming them with my personal artistic touch. You can see the other 5 Portraits in a Gallery here.
I love this idea to mix nature with humans and create some unique and very different kinds of portraits…This Collection is created mostly for my own Artistic purpose and to share with you some of my digital abilities.
If you’re interested in purchase a custom and unique portrait like the ones in this Collection you can do it here on my new page Shop Custom Digital Portraits. I will create your own personal and unique custom Digital Art Portrait, for info and details please contact me or visit my new page.

I truly loved to listen to Ewian Music, beautiful voice and underground sounds I am fascinated! Ewian is an intense and kind soul with a unique and unusual name, reading his blog I found out that Ewian means “Water of life” isn’t it a beautiful meaning?

U2 are and have been my favorite band since I was teen ager.
I had once the privilege to attend one of their unforgettable concerts when I was in Italy they came to Naples my native City the Stadium was sold out it was a beautiful experience! I would love to see them again. But today I came across this beautiful song where illustrator and photographer Matt Mahurin directs this visual meditation on ‘Song For Someone’, from U2’s latest album Songs of Innocence.
I love the lyrics beautiful words very healing inspiring a song for who need hope looking forward to the light…
I hope that you enjoy it! Don’t let it go out… -CR
Here is the video posted from U2 Facebook I hope you can see it!
U2 “Song For Someone”
You’ve got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I’ve been
You’ve got eyes that can see right through me
You’re not afraid of anything they’ve seen
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don’t know how these cuts heal
But in you, I’ve found a right
If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn’t doubt
And there is a light
Don’t let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone
You let me into a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You’re breaking into my imagination
Whatever’s in there is yours to take
I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
You were so long to heal
But this could be the night
If there is a light
You can always see
And there is a world
We can always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don’t let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

When I created this beautiful Digital Art painting, I had great music in background. I was listening this 2 hours full concert of ARCHIVE – live in Athens Greece and I like to share it with you.
Today I am going to Reblog this post from one of my awesome followers HeavyCloud. As an Artist I love to Sketch, Paint, Drawing and Creating my Jewelry designs often while listening music. I love music most of it but not everything. It has to capture my inner soul that sometimes is Dark and deep or happy and lightening or calm and fluid like water…these mood are usually when I am creative as the best! Today I am sketching new designs for my jewelry collection and I am listenig this awesome music…warning it’s deep and dark…but great! :-)
Music is an important part of our lives, and a crucial part of mine. That’s why I’d like to share this song with you. Be patient, the song builds up slowly and the voice only comes in at 8:36…
I hope that you will accept to take the time, close your eyes and let me take you with me. And I really hope you will enjoy this small journey.
Much love.
Your humble guide, HeavyCloud

“It hurts to feel It hurts to hear It hurts to face it It hurts to hide It hurts to touch It hurts to wake up It hurts to remember It hurts to hold on
Turn my head
The hurt’s relentless The hurt of emptiness The hurt of wanting The hurt of going on The hurt of missing The hurt is killing me

Joe Satriani and Steve Vai got together to host benefit shows for Cultreri in the years 2006 and 2011, this concert in 2015 is the third one for the cause. This show, “A Benefit for Cliff III” took place at 8 p.m. on June 12 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles … And now I can say I was there!!! Ohhh…I am so glad I was! :-)
I witnessed three and half hours of an exciting and amazing concert!
Something unique that I know it would be one of a kind in my concerts book!!!
I love music and I have been lucky to have seen many of my favorite bands and artists during my life!
Not all of them, but still many that I would love to see. I went to concerts whenever I could and I have unforgettable memories.
Our day started yesterday at 3.30pm, we headed over to the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) going to Los Angeles. The weather was just perfect a little overcast on the coastline. We had a wonderful ocean view while travelling.
I took some photos with my phone :-)
On the road…. PCH – Pacific Coast Highway
Almost there!
We arrived in Los Angeles! Getting closer to the Wiltern Theatre , getting very exciting!
This is the Pellissier Building and adjoining Wiltern Theatre a beautiful 1930 Art Deco architecture considered one of the finest examples in United States.
It was a wonderful experience for me as Artist to see the beauty of this historical theatre. This Concert was not just a concert, it was also an amazing place. The more I looked around the more I felt I was back in time. I was imagining how many shows have been hosted in such great place. The ceiling is amazing and decorated with dramatic Art Deco elements. The walls inside the Theatre featured shapes of flowers artistically painted! Outside the entrance… This stunning Art Deco element is on the ceiling outside the entrance.
Time is getting close. We are in line to check-in…the line was pretty long, all the way to the other side to the Wiltern Theatre.
And finally inside! The stage is great, the atmosphere is exciting. I love concerts hosted in theatres. I like because it is less dispersive than the Stadiums. There are different atmospheres and way to perceive the music and the artists.
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai along with the other artists have donated items to be auctioned during the event including autographed guitars. The Concert starting at 8pm…
The first to perform and open the evening are the Animals as Leaders. I discovered them just recently. They play Instrumental Abstract Jazz Metal (this is my definition for their music) the official definition is “Instrumental Progressive Metal” they are able to change their sounds in different directions.
Animals as Leaders Joe Satriani and Steve Vai Note: I am not the owner of those two photos I don’t know the photographers names (Copyright Photo Credits goes to their original owners)
The show started on time and the Animals as Leaders performed for almost an hour. The second performance was legendary guitarrist Steve Vai. He has a great stage presence along with his music. He let his finger flying on his guitar as he always did, one word… amazing!
Then Joe Satrianiwalked on stage. That’s when the planet turned to hear the pure sound from his guitar. His music is just stunning! I have a preference for him because I love the sound of his amazing guitar, it is different and unique that’s why I describe it as “Pure”. He is not only a guitarist but a multi-instrumentalist. Satriani is considered to be a highly technical guitarist in the world and referred to as a top guitar virtuoso.
He also has Italian descends which makes me very happy! :-)
Joe Satriani played for long time his wonderful pieces. After two-hour and a half concert, Joe brought back on stage Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi lead guitar from the Animals as Leaders to have a jam session. That was super great to see them play all together! Very unique occasion performing a Frank Zappa song. Also a wonderful Tribute to the greatest B.B. King. This concert has been 3 hours and half of unforgettable music. I am very happy and pleased to be able to say “I was there!!!”

My phone couldn’t record the sound as I would’ve loved to. But I found some videos recorded from this concert. Thanks to Cal Vid you can enjoy and have a part of this unforgettable event with me! <3
