Mike Manieri Love Play (24 Bit Remaster) CD

She attended The New England Conservatory of Music where she was an enthusiastic follower of pianist Ran Blake and his "Third Stream" philosophy (now known as Contemporary Improvisation).

After intensive private studies with Mr. Blake, Julia went on studying film music composition at the Berklee College of Music.

Among her teachers there she finds jazz pianist Ray Santisi, saxophonist and jazz ensemble leader Fred Lipsius, and film composer Michael Rendish to be the most influential in her development as composer.

It is there, at Berklee she met the principal members of her new age group: Inna Kemmerzehl, the cellist from Germany (now lives in London) and the vibraphonist Chris Lavender, all-American, who was studying with Gary Burton at the time."The bass players kept changing--that is usually the story with bass players.

We played my originals exclusively", Julia says "everyone in the group loved my music very much.

I guess, they liked the Russian influences in it and the way I orchestrate.

Chris enjoyed his intensely written, melodic yet complicated vibes scores." Yuval Cohen on soprano saxophone and Andreas Brade on drums, joined the group during the recording of _Little Martha_ in the August of 1996 at the Newbury Sound Studio in Boston."Before adding the drums, my music sounded somewhat like a classical chamber quartet with a very light jazz touch.

Andreas and Scott Barnum with his juicy bass sound and a great jazz discipline, just turned things around," the composer continues,"they gave a jazz groove to my à la Prokofiev and à la Kurt Weill music".

When the recording project was finished, Ms. Goryuchkina spent a year in Argentina, where she lectured and taught courses in composition, film, and film music.
