CD/DVD Releases: Ratoi Catalin Releases ''Pictures Of Life''

Posted on Friday, September 18 @ 06:06:49 UTC by nightowl

Artist Ratoi Catalin announces the release of the piano solo album Pictures Of Life, an album in the genre of progressive new age piano, a combination between new age piano / easy listening piano (Richard Clayderman, George Winston) and progressive rock piano (Keith Emerson). This self-produced work is available both as a digital download and a physical CD; it was released this past August.

Catalin writes, "The album Pictures Of Life contains 8 solo piano tracks and 2 tracks piano + additional instruments being the debut of Ratoi Catalin as solo piano artist. The approached style is progressive new age piano [...] The style can also cover the film music or ambient music or mood music. This album is reflecting the personal experiences of the artist transposed into piano music. The mission of the artist is 'Culture is harmony,' and this harmony not meaning automatically shiny chords and happy music, but reflection of artist soul and state of mind."



Mr. Ratoi Catalin's works as a Manager of Procurement Team 2 at Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries in Romania and the music is a complementary action, a very dear hobby. Catalin graduated the High School of Arts in Brasov (Romania) and then graduated from the Transilvania Economic University also in Brasov. At a certain point he was forced to choose between the two main directions of his career: music or management. Finally he went for management, but he never left the music side; after 25 years of playing the piano, it was impossible. So he gathered a lot of old and new ideas and release the album Pictures Of Life.

This album will be promoted online through the artist's site at www.pianoprog.com, in the local press and local radio stations as well as US radio stations. The CD can be bought digitally and physically from the artist's official site.
