Do you play live?
Yes , I do play live..I mean..music is alive..to play live is normal for me because actually I am a jazz musiscian, so improvising in the moment is like home .
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes definately, I mean i grew up in an era where the revolution of CD replaced the vinyl collection of the most households.Havin an Mp3 collection is a different relation/approach to music than having it on CD or Vinyl. This generation is totally different than...but its ok...music must evolve..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
The main thing is that if the music still belongs to the artist than you can sign any contracts, instead the artist might be slave to the label his artand the rights belongs to someone else..So it depends on the contract. Yes
Band History:
Since I was 14 years old I was singing by my own and also sang on some projects for Party Animals Production which was founded by Can7 of TPA Music now..but it we did not label it.
1999 - 2000 I had my own quintett , the Gillis Arsonie Quintett, unfortunately we were always on the road but did not record. " At this time I was listening John Coltrane...and tried to change my sound on saxophone "
2000-2006 Gillis wrote many songs , worked for some projects and decided to release them through Gillijazz Music.I am filled with music and musical ideas where i do not seperate in genre... but just say ..I f you can find soul in it...you can call it music.."
