The songs by HighLands46 project represented on this website don't originate from or correspond to any certain music style, but most of them sound like alternative ballads of love feellings and fallings :) Perhaps it's gonna be one more music band around the top. All the songs were written and entirely produced by myself, Oleg Ivaniloff. My motto is "Water rubs down stones!" Feel free to write me or make your calls with any sort of offers.
Why this name?
"46" used to be many things to me such as my school number, "46" can be seen on every car and truck in my city, situated on three hills. Numerology deals with 46 its own way, yet there are lucky numbers like this one, at least for my project.
Do you play live?
I use my synthesizer and guitar for playing live, though unplugged versions undoubtedly have their charm. But Grand Piano is at the top of other instruments 4 me as being the first and the last I'm quite sure to consider "God's Telephone". I can play grand piano for the whole day with no gettin' really tired.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
If this question were asked some fifty years ago, that would have been about television. The time is sure to come very soon, when computers are gonna be popularized the same way as it happened with Phones, TV and mobile handsets. Just a confortable means of communication and Mass Media. Changes are obvious. I don't believe mp3 to be the last format in the history of mankind. High speeds of browsing will be faster and compact sizes are to become smaller as well.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, INVESTORS WELCOMED! I'd gladly think over any sort of partnership regarding the question at mutually profitable terms. I'm available 24hrs a day. E-mail can be found directly to the East of this interview.
Band History:
Yes, HIGHLANDS46 history ain't be a long story. One songwriter showed me this great webspace, where I decided to try otu what had been my desire for quite a long time. That was in June, 2003. No current links for official website yet. My personal appologies for the fact! :) There soon will be one.
Your influences?
OK, I enjoy listening to the variety of styles, not adiction to some certain branches of music, as follows: Frank Sinatra, John Bonjovi - right at the top of my interests, John Coltrain jazz, George Michael pop music, Aerosmith - especially their love ballads, Bruce Dickenson & Iron Maiden, J.J.Kail blues, Eric Clapton - From the Craddle, the Beatles, Rolling Stones and many more, who have always inspired me to create my own music for HIGHLANDS46 project. Apart from all the gentlemen listed above, I'm influenced by ordinary people and things, whose actions background wouldn't leave anyone indifferent... More influences? Weather outside, movies, my wife and son, anyone else, who ever makes this world go round.
Favorite spot?
Of course, it's Moscow. But there's no place like the one you live in.
Equipment used:
YAMAHA PSR-295, EVOLUTION MK-149 MIDI keyboard + SHURE SM-58 mic., Acoustic Guitar made by Samara Musical Instruments' Factory (Russia), HP notebook.
Anything else...?
In general, interviews aren't really my cup of lipton. Stop reading, start listening!
