 With Love from Heart - is the name given to music lessons for HIV-positive children, that were held on February 15th and 16th, with support of Elena Pinchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. This is the second meeting of the young talents with musicians, KISS FM residents - DJ JOSS, ILYA Phantom, Tolya Tokyo, Tagir Sultanov, Topspin, and a Boom Boom Room club team. They first met during the «We are learning the joy» program by ANTIAIDS Foundation. The meeting was held in the ARTREFORM Records studio - a new label, with DJ JOSS as a resident and ideologist. The event in ARTREFORM was a far cry from the boring lessons at the music school: children, confronted with HIV had become acquainted with the world of electronic dance music, have talked to musicians, writers, have tried DJing, and even producing. Especially fascinating was the production lesson from sound masters ILYA Phantom and JOSS, when the young producers created their own unique sound. Following their theoretical course young guests enthusiastically took up a difficult, but such an exciting thing - music writing. These rhythms and sounds, created by children will be the basis for the track, that will be recorded soon. |
