GOODBYE IVAN - is a project run by Arnaud Sponar, a multi-instrumentalist coming from twenty years of extended musical experience and previously performing in Opak. Whether you are escaping trams in the center of Prague, getting lost in experimentalism in Berlin or on the verge of making drastic changes to your life in St. Petersburg, this music evokes all of these experiences. On stage, Goodbye Ivan combines the melodic sweetness of a Rhodes piano and a rocking and emotionally edged acoustic guitar with a symphony of a myriad of random sounds and objects. The result is a mixture of rock, folk and electronica bound to inspire both tears and the smashing of furniture. The music influences are mainly influences of musical genres and is quite original sounding meaning that his music does not sound like anyone in particular and i have the feeling that his music is only inspired by himself experimenting and not by other artists. Out now! on Parallax Sounds is "The Benediktska EP" and "The Cherry Wood EP" which is available for FREE as MP3 downloads and a CD-R version is available to buy aswell. Goodbye Ivan's debut album, The K Syndrome, is OUT NOW on Shayo Records.
