"SunsetV2 Review"

You and Rocco sure know how to make beautiful music together. Gorgeous flowing piece of music with the sax and the guitar blending beautifully together as the lead instruments over a sumptuous arrangement of percussion and synths. Beautifully lyrical music, played with skill and intense passion. Sensational. - Mixpusure.com-Selftort


"Mourning Review"


I'm totally lost in dreams when I lean back and listen to your heartfelt guitar/electronica sound... wonderful grooves and lovely atmospheres, and very romantic composition. Impressive work and musicianship by all you true masters of soulful ambient music - tip for the 2 minute reviewers: Please listen more than 3 minutes this time, and you can hear some Enya-esque New Age soundscapes of the finest, before the bright lead guitar returns along with extended synth work!
Cheers, Pascal

Bio

Biography

Emotionally charged...and passionate...

...Valkir.

A genre of music that is best described as Instrumental/Soundtrack/Rock, Valkir creates memorable, melodically driven songs on lush soundscapes crafted from the heart and soul.

The music is a world class offering, whose only hope is to share the beauty of great music, backed by the finest musicians in the world.

Valkir states:

"Music is a passion for me, something that comes from deep within my soul. I am blessed to have an outlet for my creativity and have people who support my musical vision."

Valkir has an extensive live performance and recording background...performing over 1000 shows in the midwest area opening for many Major acts such as Survivor, Kansas, Foghat, The Outfield, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Jim Belushi, Three Dog Night, Lovin' Spoonful, James Young from Styx, and many others. He also has worked as a recording engineer in various recording studios in the Chicago area including work for a major publishing house that did work for Chrysalis Records and CBS. In 1999, he decided take an extended leave from live performances to gain insight on to new directions.

In 2004, he met pianist Steve Hawker, and began recording what is now becoming this solo debut cd. As time progressed, he met jazz guitarist, Daniel Lombardi, and ambient/electronica composer, Amir Baghiri, and the fusion of all these elements are coming together to create an incredible mix of unforgettable emotion and passion. The cd is planned on being released in Spring 2007 with a tour to follow. The live show will be an unforgettable event. More special guest musicians are planned for the cd and will be announced very soon!
