When I watched Lord of the Rings, there and then I’ve noticed this singer for the first time and I remembered her name – Emiliana Torrini.
Later I just dropped her from my mind, but suddenly today I’ve stumbled upon her music again and I let it shine over my day.
I think about finding more of it and listen to it more than once. I wanna see how close this music can come and touch me…
P.S. It’s true that the sound in Gollum’s song is very familiar to Björk, but aside of it the resemblance is as feeble as to show only that Torrini is also from Iceland.
There is one more photo made the same day, when I shot the water fireworks:
The place is again at the NDK fountains, the direction of the shot is against the sun:

Canon 350D is a very good digital camera… This (and the previous photo) were made a bit by accident, without playing too much with the camera’s settings — so miracles do happen!
And I like both photographs… Sometimes, when shooting contre jour, very interesting effects can be obtained:-)
I didn’t write for a long time. Especially in the English version of my blog…
Meanwhile, Michel got for a couple of days a great Canon EOS 350D with three lenses (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT) and I had the chance to make a couple of shots, too.
Here’s one of them. The place is near NDK fountains, in Sofia.

There are some more photos, which are worth sharing (and Michel has a very nice Moon, made with the same Canon) …these days I’ll maybe publish them.
It’s summer, and it feels hot. People start thinking about the sea, me browsing our photos and find some old things…
…like this, which I decided to share with you. :-)
This shot was made in one summer morning of October 2005, by the sea.
I love October, that’s my month. The bluest sky, the most soft, orange and special sunlight.
The colors are simply beautiful… It is not a mystery that so many artist find inspiration in nature. :)
Well, despite the autumn impressions, I also want to be at the sea.
Sun and sand and warm water…what more to ask for?
18th of April, Hall 1 of National Palace of Culture (NDK). Mezzoforte. Giants!!
I couldn’t even imagine such an energy wave, but it is always a wonderful feeling to go somewhere without any expectations.
So there was space left for being enchanted. :-)
The instrumentalists from the band “Te” were there at the beginning, playing nicely for about twenty minutes before the headliners, but when Mezzoforte came out on the stage, the level of this event was lifted with some floors higher.
They are from Iceland. Well, at least most of them. This was their third visit in Sofia.
I have never been on their concerts before, but I started to like them immediately, because they are amazing and they deserve to be heard, seen and remembered by everyone.
They were eight people on the stage, but it was like one. Probably because the core of the band are playing together from 15-year-old, I don’t know, but the fusion between them is extraordinary.
It is such an inspiration to be there, to see how they enjoy playing and what a lightness there is in the way they are obsessing the audience.
Yes, it is true – you can hear their music very often on the Bulgarian National Radio and that’s what makes it sounds so familiar. But let me say it – it is not a simple coincidence that Mezzoforte’s music is favorite for years for our oldest music editors.
