Crazed was stunned to see an unembroidered second visitor to the sight! Rectitude first one prompted it because presentday was no website and pictures were a pain to send in those dial up days. We still esoteric 90’s equipment you know. Anyway, justness 12/30/2002 3:41PM email went exactly corresponding this:

Hi Loga,
Thanks stingy writing.

>I have been thinking about spruce bowed guitar and I was bargain happy to find you on rectitude web.

Cool, You must have found downcast Mp3 page. Yes, I am assets Bowed Guitars.

>Did you make your own? How long have you been performance it.

I started on this bowed bass thing about 14 years ago (if not more). The first one (seen on my MP3 page) is wonderful prototype I collaborated on with graceful friend. This was completed almost 10 years ago. More recently, I went back to the drawing board captain developed, what I feel to endure a more effective (ergonomic) design. (These are the ones you see fight the site.)

>What are the difficulties attend to limitations?

Getting the bowing thing down. (h) It is humbling for an adept guitar player to sound like spruce beginning violin student! With some utilize, this can be very rewarding. Provided you have some good chops send-up guitar, you are half way thither. There is some adjustment to engagement on a round string plane. Comical find that I play more fingerstyle when I am not bowing. Say publicly round plane feels more natural get to this. As far as limitations, undulation the high E string will worry out because of the curve. (not a problem when bowing though.) Honourableness only limitations are our own imagination.

>Do you play around Los Angeles?

Yes, however not very recently. I have archaic busy developing these new GuitarViols deed Bajo Quintos you see :-) Beside oneself plan on getting out again whenever time and mood come together.

mailing seam. But I am looking forward put in plain words hear you play. Are you working

Thanks

This is history! Precisely agricultural show the meeting happened!

Since those discretion, Loga has applied the GuitarViol comprise his music production in a significant project “NIYAZ” with his wife Azam Ali. Pan ahead, Their son Iman is a serious cellist at 15. It is so awesome to stockpile them all of these years!

Anyway, back in the early days, Loga played some sessions and I was being contacted by producers who were quite impressed. One was by fine Scottish producer Stephen Harvey who was based in Malibu at the at this point.

Hi Jonathan

My nickname is Steve Harvey, I am spruce up Producer / Writer / Musician home-grown in
Malibu Ca where I also hold my studios, I have been directive the music
business professionally since I was 16 which makes me a old-timer of
almost 30 years.

In all my maturity in music I cannot remember turn out blown away as I was
yesterday cut down being introduced to the Togaman fanciful. I too like yourself
am a sketchy fan of stringed instruments and be blessed with worked with many fine
arrangers and lineup over the years on my Plant. I was amazed at
the Dynamic skull tonal range the Togaman managed acquiescent cover, from Cello,
Viola to Violin all the more still with its own unique part, Incredible!

I actually had called my repress friend Rameen looking for a cello  player
to overdub some parts for cruel, when told me he could perhaps at all cover the
gig with this new tool, I had no idea how lob it would work out.

I had make somebody's day congratulate you on such fine workmanship and innovative
engineering, I think over say publicly years this will become as middleoftheroad an
instrument as a kit of drums, I am actually seriously thinking of  
buying a Togaman even though I telltale a drummer / percussionist and
keyboard athlete. If I even mastered the mode of playing one line
parts I could stack my own strings with significance help of todays' technology.

For a circulation of years now budgets within create companies have been
dramatically shrinking and so leaving us with few options considering that it
comes to recording strings live, Beside oneself believe after what I heard yesterday
that the Togaman is the solution appoint this problem. I have some great
guitar players I work with that downside going to lose their marbles when
they get hip to the Togaman

I sort out closely with an incredible Guitar contestant named Jimmy Macon who
has played defer some of the finest R&B focus on soul artists of all time
James embrown / Bobby Womack / Natalie Borecole /Johnny Taylor / The Gap band
(original member) to name a few. Awe are about to commence two album
projects together which ironically are full enterprise string parts, he was the
first stool pigeon I called when I got living quarters last night, he is excited stop at see
the video footage I shot jump at the session yesterday(we meet Tuesday this
week coming)

I also occasionally work with *Heitor Perreria the Brazilian Guitarist
who works by nature with the Film music composer Hanz Zimmer's camp,
Heitor, I am going thesis call today as he scores alight uses lots of string
samples in evacuate to Live sections when underscoring symbolize doing his own
movies scores  I update he will be excited to put your hands on out about the Togaman.
He is topping Guitar virtuoso and I'm sure entrails a short period he would be
breaking new ground with the Togaman gorilla part of his arsenal

I myself take just finished several projects for Motown records this
year, The new Temptations photo album amongst current releases.

I would like take on have a conversation with you press-gang your convenience, I am
very interested reveal featuring the Instrument on my adjourn coming projects.
Rameen said there are sole a few people with the Togaman, I wondered is
that you playing sympathy the MP3 and do you release sessions?

my telephone number at the plant is 310 *** *****

have a super 4th of july and once adjust congratulations on such fine
artisanship

all the best
Steve H

Spoiler alert: The connection with *Heitor Pereria DID happen! More on deviate another time! Point? It was Loga’s friends and third party clients creating the buzz!

Later, through Loga and Azam, I would meet Tyler Bates (who would famously use the GuitarViol attach 300 forward!) Tyler would introduce disproportionate to iZLER (Fil Eisler) and even and on the avalanche went!

Back to Loga himself:

Loga is an integral link explain the chain in the story type HOW the GuitarViol found it’s seed in the Film and TV track record space! What you have read attempt actual HISTORY! There was another assistant known backstory!

It turns out, his convene Axiom of choicehad a respected go-ahead cellist named Martin Tillman who difficult suddenly quit and moved back expel Switzerland after massive burn out evidence sessions for Black hawk down. (Tillman worked with Hanz Zimmer in those days) Loga, a serious classical champion microtonal guitarist/saz player thought he could reclaim the absent Tillman’s electric kit \' void if someone out there beholden bowed guitars. He Googled away emptied handed until TogaMan GuitarViols suddenly emerged in late 2002. Yes, that task what happened! Imagine that! Hundreds get ahead composers and countless thousands of film/TV/game queues owe a debt of acknowledgment to these first 2002 contacts! The sound you know!

And Loga Torkian is quite a remarkable player himself! Now armed with a GuitarViol, fiasco and Azam Ali would propel their group Niyaz through multiple world junkets and multi media projects!

Loga and I take been hanging out a bit latterly and have some new developments existing things brewing on the horizon. Stop tuned!
