We are Allan & Aleksandra Alexander. Together we play Guitar, Lute and Mandolin. Our goal is twofold. First we want to put addictive playable music into the hands of musicians who love to play. I have searched for music for all my life, first buying LPs and wanting to play the music, then finding it. No Internet then, I had to look in stores, catalogs and also travel to New York City to find the things I wanted to play. Eventually, as hard as this is to believe, I eventually just ran out of material. That let me to arranging and writing. I just loved to play. Then I met other musicians and I spread out from the guitar and lute. Eventually I met Aleksandra and the search for music continued together. I love creating music, whether it's an arrangement or an original composition. If I have to ask myself if it's good, it isn't. When it's a great tune, it hits you over the head and you want to hear it again. A piece if music doesn't have to be difficult to be magic and addictive, and it's found all over the world and all through time. We have music from 1200 to the present day, from all over the world.
I only wish that I myself could play guitar and mandolin that well! ; )
"Danza Ritmico No 7" sounds amazing; when I heard that song the first time, the colours yellow, blue, green and a little bit of red came to mind as well as a fresh mountain stream running its course down a green, tree-laden hillside. The perfect imagery for relaxation! Keep on making that wonderful, beautiful music!
