Lilit Pipoyan Pomegranate Recording Sessions Begin Today

As reported on this blog in the last few weeks, Lilit Pipoyan will be starting her Pomegranate Music recording sessions today at VEM studios in Yerevan, Armenia. The as of yet untitled album will feature Lilit's classic voice accompanied by a full string quartet, Alto Sax, upright bass, and a harp in addition to the classical guitar and piano. Look for the 2006 release to be partnered with a US tour including cities such as LA, Boston, New York, and Washington DC. This is a deal and artist I have been pursuing for almost two years straight. All of the artists I represent via recordings are special to me personally because their music moves me. Lilit is also an artist in that category. Although she has only released two solo album with limited touring, I expect that will change with her Pomegranate debut.

My next couple of projects include re-teaming with Gor Mkhitarian as well as my pursuit of the Armenian Navy Band with Arto Tuncboyaciyan. I have been in contact with their manager in Germany, Birgit Ellinghaus, and we are in the beginning phases of negotiations that should culmiate in a meeting in Newcastle, UK for WOMEX in the next few weeks.

All of these artists have serious market potential and I look forward to representing them in the future. Let's see how it goes...
