Update On The Redgold Series

I've had a lot of time to plan out more of the series.

About two years ago, I had written out rough outlines for the entire set. It used to be a total of seven books at the time. The length of the books were all going to be over 200,000+ words each. The first novel, Demon Vampire, being 242,000+ words. Granted, at few chapters for each book seemed a bit long and difficult to read for some. That is why I have decided to break up the series into shorter books that will be released a lot quicker than previously planned.

The prior schedule was a book every 18-24 months. Now I should be able to complete a novel every 9-15 months. Something that most likely appeals to all my readers;) 

For now, you can pick up Demon Vampire on Amazon.com

Over 60,000 Hits!!! Thank You All!

Thank you all for visiting the site so much to give me a total of over 60k in hits since the blog was started.

Don't forget to follow the blog to be eligible to win the monthly prizes and to tell all your friends about Demon Vampire the book and the whole Redgold Series.

Remember To Remember

There are a great deal of people that I interact with on a weekly basis. The hundreds of people that make up my everyday experiences add little by little to the whole that is my perception of the world around me. Some more than others. It is those exceptional few that are worth remembrance.

Think about everyone you've meet today up until reading this post. Think hard, real hard on the conversations, body language, even facial expressions they gave off while interacting with you. Have you gathered all of those moments in your mind? Good, Now it's time to realize something.

- All of them got you to where you are now.

The way I mean this is literally and figuratively in the same thought. Each small gesture, smile, or nod is time you could have spent somewhere else, but ended up with a certain person instead. Whither or not the conversation, meeting, or general time logged was positive or negative, you experienced it non-the-less.

You may be wondering where I'm going with this, hold on, it's coming.

You may have had an argument with your neighbor, a fight with your spouse, or even an angry driver on the way home. The person next to you on the bus might have had on a pleasant perfume that you enjoyed, you got a letter from an old friend, or someone you didn't know thanked you for being so kind to them in their time of need. All those possible scenarios paint a memory that gives a lasting inpression on your over all mood, and eventually your personality.

You may be thankful for where you are today. That's good. Of all the people that you might want to thank for your success in life, did you ever once think about the fleeting smile a stranger gave you once upon a time year ago? It's things like that that can empower and motivate us all to do amazing things at ordinary times in our lives. In other words -

- Remember the moments that forged the path you now walk.

Without those millions of little interactions to pave the way, you wouldn't be on the road you're now on. Sometimes it's nice to look back and be glad you met so many on your way.





Sincerely,

Next Step, Radio

The next evolution of Demon Vampire will be getting on the radio.

I will be continuing my efforts to get onto live air either on an internet radio station, or local talk radio throughout the country. I am currently in talks with two radio stations. I won't announce who yet, I don't want to jinx anything too soon.

I know that I have yet to post any youtube videos or release any audio recording of my voice to date. This will be a first for my career, to allow everyone to hear the tones of my highly aesthetically capable voice.

Honestly, it has been a while since I did anything on air. I used to do small audio clips for contract audio commercials a few years ago under another name. As to what that was, I'm not telling yet;) The nature of the work was contrary to some of my current themes and I do not wish to illuminate the details of which as of this date. All I can say is that I had a lot of fun recording the short bits that I did for those companies. I ended up doing a few of my own for my resume at the time as well. If you all only knew what came out during those studio sessions, it was perfectly uncharacteristic for me at the time, but truly lip curling when heard.

In my search for radio stations, the long journey that will be my first opus, I am up for suggestions. I listen to only a handful of internet radio and local stations. Any advice as to where I should spend my efforts would be appreciated. Better yet, if you would be so bold to call them and tell them about me, that would be amazing. The idea of a radio station calling me up for an interview is arresting to say the least.

For now, be sure to follow the blog for monthly prizes.

Now Onto More Interviews, Presenting Gevolt

You may remember me mentioning Gevolt a few months ago. They're the Yiddish Medal Band that caught my ear on Facebook.

(From left to right in the photo Vadim Weinstein, Eva Yefremov, Anatholy Bonder, Olga Itkis, Roma Kruter, Dima Zlotnyk, Kruter Igor, Misha Gimmervert, Dmitry Lifshitz and Mark Lekhovitser. )

It took a little while, but the interview has finally come to light. But now it's here.

So without further procrastination, Here is the Interview with Gevolt.

Initial Introduction:

Gevolt: Hi, Virgil! How are you?!

Virgil: Hello as well. I'm Doing well as I can see you are too. Better now that you're here. Let's begin.

1. Virgil: Gevolt is a striking band name. How did you come up with it? 

Gevolt: It's an edited version of our guitar player’s family name)))

2. Virgil: Metal with a violin. How did you convince such a skilled practitioner to join you?

Gevolt: We are - fun))  Eva (Violinist) likes to hang out with us.

Our drummer Vadim made ​​her a proposal which she could not refuse.))

3. Virgil: Everything about your band is highly stylistic. How did you come up with such a look?

Gevolt: Most of the time, each of us is deciding how to appear on stage, videos or photos by themselves

Occasionally we bring everything we think could fit and then just advise each other.    

4. Virgil: "Tshiribim Tshiribom" is such a damn good song. What the hell does the title mean???

Gevolt: "Tshiribim Tshiribom" are just some funny magic words that are intended to set the mood when you need it.))

Virgil: Somehow, deep down, that makes me feel better. Here I had all these wild ideas of what it meant. 

 

5. Virgil: There are times when I find hints of Ramstein in your sound. Have they been a direct influence?

Gevolt: Some of our members have been more or less influenced by Rammstein, but our line-up has changed a couple of times, so the “Sidur” musicians are different from who’s on “Alefbase”. There are songs on "Alefbase" for which the guitar parts were written by the former guitar player, so the main "Alefbase" concept has some similarity to the "Sidur" album. We believe that our new material will reflect a new approach.

6. Virgil: Besides Yiddish and English, how many languages does your band speak? By the way, you already have most other bands beat at two.

Gevolt: We speak Hebrew and Russian as well.

Virgil: That is amazing. 

 

7. Virgil: You seem to be having a lot of fun in your videos. Are there any funny stories to filming them?

Gevolt: It’s fun as a whole, but I can't pick out something special.

8. Virgil: What drove you to come up with such a powerful stage presence? You come across as larger than life in your videos. 

Gevolt: We are focused on giving our listeners all the strength we have, so they can enjoy themselves and the show.)) You know, it's like climbing a mountain all together with the fans - pulling each other higher.

9. Virgil: Has Eva (your violinist), ever composed one of your songs completely?

Gevolt: Not really, the violin in Gevolt is more like a strawberry on top of the cake. But we actually hope that Eva will compose some parts for our new album, so that we'll start creating songs from them and achieve greater diversity.

Virgil: That's great to hear. I'm dying to know what that would sound like. You already have such an amazing feel to your music. Metal with a violin is awesome, but violin with metal is up there with Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I'm love to hear that next album.

  

10. Virgil: Your band was formed in 2001. Eleven years is a long time for a band to stay together, have you had any band members quit over the years?

Gevolt: Yep, Gevolt has been through some line-up changes, but not for the last 5 years.

Virgil: That's still very impressive for a band. I'm glad to see you're loyal to your music.
