Farall, Jorge	Mostly devoted to composition and arranging (original scores for theater, composing and arranging for small combos to symphonic orchestras, commercials).

My most recent composition, Moods a Piano Suite, features some of this "experiments" which so far I can consider succesful but still developing in some new pieces I'm working on. Moods has already been performed at the Ramsey Concert Hall, Athens, in a meeting organized by the Center of Latin American and Caribbean Studies of the University of Georgia.

Foldvari, Gergely	I graduated from Berklee with a 'magna cum laude' degree in Composition. Honorary Doctorate Pat Metheny handed us the diplomas. My principal teachers were John Bavicchi, Henry Augustine Tate, David Calahan, George Monseur, Peter Cokkinias, Edward Bedner, Ray Santisi, Eric Reasoner, Steve Rochinski and Dennis Montgomery III. I thank Berklee for the great quality of education and for substantial scholarship and financial support. During my years at Berklee I won first prize in the Zambelli Piano Competition and received the Richard Levy Prize for Composition. Residing in residential Brookline prooved to be a great choice after some months in low quality housing near the otherwise state-of-the-art Berklee campus. The extremely cultural towns of Boston and Cambridge had so much to offer intellectually: Harvard, Boston University and the countless more educational and cultural institutions can keep any vibrant and artistically inclined mind well fed. The natural beauty of nearby States such as New Hampshire and Maine should also be part of anyone's stay at Berklee.

(you can check out my site at www.anouschka.info) I moved to LA where I played various venues, wrote more songs and worked in post production. Since i wasn't making enough money off gigs (do they ever PAY in LA????) to pay the musicians, I started getting more reliant on performing solo and demoing by myself at my DAW . Given the choice i still prefer playing with live musicians. Right now I am in Europe again. I would love to hear from all the old friends i lost track of along the way so if that's you, drop a line ;-)anouschka@yahoo.com

Landy, Libby	i turned 40 october 2006 and went in for my 1st mammogram on nov 14th. as many of you know the way they tell if anything's wrong is to compare 'this years' films to the previous years' films. in my case there was no 'last year' so i had to go back in for a 2nd visit. but it was a little more than that. apparantly there was a little blob they couldn't really get a good image of, so we had a biopsy, and it came back DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). this is a stage 0 cancer. it's contained in the milk ducts, and has not yet spread anywhere else. we met with a specialist surgeon last wednesday, the 13th and he gave us news that was better than we could hope for. Next tues, dec 19th i will be in hospital for a lumpectomy on my right breast. he will remove about a pecan-size bit of tissue. it is an outpatient procedure, so i'll be home tues. night. (let's hope the power's back on or matt'll be on fireplace duty!) at this point there will be no chemo, no radiation and no reconstruction needed. i'll be able to resume all activities as soon as i feel up to it, so the SeattleToPortland ride this summer is still a go. what i have is not a physical 'lump'. you can not see or feel it, so the only detection we had of it was via the mammograms. again, at this time there is no chemo, no radiation, and no reconstruction expected or planned. so if you are 38+ years of age and have not yet had, or it's been more than a year since your last mammogram, do yourself a favor and schedule one tomorrow. if you are under 38 years of age - especially if you have a family history of cancer - it's not too early to get your first mammogram! mammograms do save lives, and i'll be living proof! that was the start of the saga... full details and blog at libbylandy.spaces.live.com

Griffin, Patrick	VOICES FROM BEYOND is an album of multi-faceted music by Los Angeles film composer Patrick Griffin, featuring himself and his brothers Paul, Michael, Larry, as well as Ginny and Ileane Griffin. The project was inspired by the tragic loss of the Griffin brothers' sister Julie Jensen (Griffin), a victim of an antifreeze poisoning murder by her husband Mark Jensen. OurSisterJulie.com is a website created by the brothers that details the ten year unfolding of events since Julie's death in 1998 at the early age of 40. Serving as a tribute to the much loved mother of two boys, hundreds of thousands of viewers have been moved by the human tragedy of the high profile case. Not only was the trial aired in its entirety on CNN's TruTV, it was featured on ABC's 20/20 on February 29, 2008, and will be featured on CBS' 48 HOURS to be aired April 15, 2008. The seven-week trial of Wisconsin vs. Mark Jensen ended this February in the conviction of Mark Jensen, who received a life sentence with no parole. The Griffins are professional musicians who created music as a family dedication to their sister Julie, whose letter she wrote before her death pointed suspicion toward her husband after she found amongst his items a deadly shopping list. The album is a reflective musical journey in which each title portrays a certain memory of Julie's life: her childhood, her mothering, her personality, to name a few. "Julie was a positive, loving, and warm sincere person that I hope others can get to know through the music. It's very simple and accessible music with a mixture of stylistic elements including folk, classical, jazz and rock, but mostly it's about relaxing and going on a healing musical journey. It would bring a smile to her face seeing her brothers work together on something positive and lasting." The much-anticipated album is immediately available from OurSisterJulie.com through CD Baby or iTunes, and will be added to more download services by the end of April. There is a free sampling on the website music page, as well as Griffin brother's biographies and a free pdf of album liner notes. The Griffins wish to share their musical message of love and hope with everyone, and especially desire to encourage victims to escape their domestic abuse. A portion of proceeds beyond production cost will go toward a yet-to-be-determined women's abuse shelter. ____________________________ oursisterjulie.com Contact: Ileane Rusch (agent) ruschsuperior@sbcglobal.net (818) 508-5627

Pashulak, Ingrid	SUNPALACEMUSIC.COM GETS 'FRESH WEB' NEW YORK, May 14, 2002 -- New York-based alternative band SUN PALACE just got the iHAV NEW MEDIA 'Fresh Web' treatment. SunPalaceMusic.com recently relaunched as they promote their successful CD debut, INTO HEAVEN. "The album is about death, life, and the reflection of beauty that can come from both," says Sun Palace frontwoman, Andriette Redmann. "We knew iHAV NEW MEDIA could give our site a mystical presence." Band guitarist, John Rokosny, adds "It's a pleasure to work with a designer who, as a musician and producer herself, understands the emphasis of the music and how to evoke its visual counterpart." That's because Ingrid Haviland, aka iHAV NEW MEDIA, is on a mission to create 'Fresh Web'. "The web is about 10 years old, yet so much of it looks wilted already. In most sites, content equals information; there's a lack of context, a lack of emotion. I want to tell a story." And where does that story come from? Haviland never has to look far. "My favorite question to ask a client is: 'What do you stand for?' Everything flows from there." Got Fresh Web? See http://www.SunPalaceMusic.com http://www.TAMARarts.com http://www.iHAV.com for more. (Haviland's vitae loca includes producer and writer, musician and artist, web developer and graphic designer. On a regular day, she may be doing any or all of these. Her work has been voicing the heart of her clients' vision since 1997.)

Phaneuf, Rhob	(Rhob Elliott) After touring from 1987-2000, opened a recording studio in central North Carolina focusing on putting out great cuts for artists that cannot afford or do not want to record in large studios. I also have songs recorded on a number of albums - 4 more coming out this year from various artists. It is a lifelong endeavor -and I'm only halfway there! After leaving Berklee in 1986 I focused on the writing and moved to piano from trumpet to advance that. After working for a time with fellow Berklee Alums in a wild project called Planet IF / Sadhana I moved to Florida and began touring in earnest with various acts - now on Bass, which has been my instrument for the past 12 years. Along with continuing to perform, I am currently working on a full length CD project with Rockers Blind Crisis as songwriter, arranger, producer and lead engineer; Country mail vocalist Mike Rimmer from Charlotte, NC; Country act Stonewall from Florida; Rockers Izac from NC; and all the little ones you tend to gather in a studio that actually pay the bills. On a personal note, I married another artist/writer Traci Lazenby, and together we operate a granola-free personal resistance movement against becoming June and Ward Cleaver with our two wild boys, aged 5 and 6 who's names are NOT Wally and the Beaver.

Croes, Hildward	Born on the Caribbean island of Aruba on the 7th of September 1962, Hildward Croes comes from a family of deep musical roots. His mother Ada is a singer and his father Maiky is a musician, singer, and choir director of their hometown church of Santa Cruz. At an early age Mr. and Mrs. Croes encouraged their four sons to participate in the church choir on Sundays. This has been an important musical influence on the entire Croes family. Since little Hildward was performing with different youth groups. A music-lover since birth, Hildward started playing the piano at home with the help of his father at the age of 8. After a few years playing by ear, Hildward began taking piano lessons with various music teachers on the island. In 1977 while forming part of the band that accompanied their church choir, Hildward and his brother Michael were invited to start the band Cryptus Confession. ‘Cryptus’ became one of the most popular ‘top-40’ bands of Aruba in the late 70s, recording the huge hit of 1980: Love Dream, part of a successful album of Hildward’s original compositions recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami in the summer of 1979. With Cryptus Confession, Hildward toured extensively in Venezuela and other Caribbean islands. In 1981, Croes received a scholarship from the Arubian government to study music at Berklee College of Music. While in Boston he got many invitations to participate in recordings and perform in student concerts. By spring 1984 he finished his bachelor’s degree in professional music and started post-graduate studies in music at Bowling Green State University, Ohio. At the end of 1985 Hildward returned to Aruba with a master of music degree and became one of the most popular arrangers and producers of the area. He produced numerous hits for artists and groups in Aruba, Curacao, and other Caribbean islands. After he was signed to produce an album of Caribbean music for the record label Sonografica in Caracas, Venezuela in 1988, Hildward got noticed by the "merengue-king" of the 80s: Wilfrido Vargas. Vargas immediately signed him to be a part of his orchestra and produce recordings for his record company. In 1989 Hildward toured Europe, North, Central and South America with the Wilfrido Vargas orchestra playing keyboards and programming the computer sequences for the live shows. During this time Croes also arranged and produced for many successful Latin American artists such as Las Chicas Del Can, Altamira Banda Show, Eddy Herrera, Roy Tavare, Micky Taveras, and of course Wilfrido Vargas. In February of 1990, Hildward earned an American Grammy Award nomination in the Latin-Tropical category for his work on the album Animacion by Wilfrido Vargas, which he co-produced. The same year he won first prize in the international competition of arrangements of the world-popular hit-song of that time: Lambada, which he arranged and produced for the popular ladies-group: Las Chicas Del Can. Towards the end of 1990, Hildward was approached by the world-famous Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra to be a part of his orchestra. During the following years playing keyboards and programming the computer sequencers for Juan Luis Guerra & 4.40, Hildward toured the world performing sold-out concerts. On many occasions Croes was awarded prestigious prizes in Aruba, such as arranger of the year, musician of the year, music-man of the year, etc. At the end of 1990 he was awarded musician of the decade and received the distinguished honor of being named man of the year by the local press. After Juan Luis Guerra retired in 1995, Croes returned to Aruba where he was once again one of the hardest working producers on the island, as well as a regular performer in local night-clubs, hotels and casinos. While working with Juan Luis Guerra & 4.40, Hildward met and established a strong friendship with Chichi Peralta who at the time was the main percussionist of the group. In 1997 Croes received a call from his old friend Chichi Peralta who approached him to be a part of his then newly formed project: Son Familia. With Chichi Peralta + Son Familia, Hildward was once again touring the world playing sold-out concert halls and stadiums. In 1999 Hildward participated extensively as an advisor, arranger, keyboardist, and music calligrapher in the production of the CD: De Vuelta Al Barrio, which earned them a Latin Grammy Award for best merengue album in 2001. The live CD/DVD release ‘En Vivo’ by Chichi Peralta became a huge success in France and other parts of Europe. Croes made musical arrangements and played the accordion, piano, and keyboards on Chichi Peralta's latest release: Mas Que Suficiente. Since 1992 Hildward directs and writes for his own Dushi Band which has become one of the most popular local bands especially during the carnival festivities producing hit songs year after year and winning music festivals on many occasions. Hildward also plays the accordion with Grupo Di Betico; a typical acoustic folkloric music group formed by Croes’ family members that performs regularly at the end of each year during the holiday season. Hildward directs show and special event orchestras and continues to produce for artists around the Caribbean and South America out of his home-studio named Vanilla Kingdom. In his free time Hildward can be found relaxing and enjoying the Caribbean sun and white sandy beaches of his native Aruba.
