Artist History The project "IMPRESSIONS OF WINTER" was published by Joe P. toexpress his emotions by music. The first attemps took place in the end ofthe year 1994 and soon began to wish a voice to support the sounds.With Andres Waldura and the first female singer Laikha, which wasvery skilful in writing romantic vocal-lines, he published after a whilethe first Tape to demonstrate their potential.Mozart from the german label Spirit Productions got one and offeredthem to produce the first Compact-Disc. The Songs of the Tape wereonce more professionell worked and completed. The design of the CD"Cantica Lunae" was once again done by Tobias Franz. In the springof the year 1997 the tender and melancholic work could finally bebrought out after a few obstacles.Encouraged of the positive reactions the own style has been improved. Achange of the female singers, Laikha changed with Felicia, broughteven a little change in the kind of music, a bit away of the melancholicDark-Wave to worldmusic.Since the summer of 1998 there is the second CD "Deceptive SpringsAnd Fading Landscapes" in the stores. And the third is even in work!There's no end in sight...
