Frost/Fire by GORAFUNK

The idea, music, drawings and lyrics for this album were inspired by Ray Bradbury's short novel "Frost and Fire".

I wrote the songs "Free" and "Exit" in 2012 in Groningen, while studying there, however I have abandoned the idea for four years until I met, played, recorded, hung out and lived with my amazing friends and colleagues Jorge Castañeda, Darío Guibert, Nacho de Frutos with whom we recorded our first album in December 2015 in New York.
Before moving to Madrid for an year I spent the summer in Bulgaria, writing and completing the idea that started in 2012 in the Netherlands.

The band that recorded the album features Alexander Logozarov on the guitar with whom we have been playing and sharing all kinds of adventures throughout the years - he was the first person to play to original versions of "Free" and "Exit" so it was in a way a proper end of a long cycle.


I believe it is appropriate to mention the names of all musicians and friends who helped me complete this second album of my quartet by taking part in it - consciously or not: Alex Logozarov, Jorge Castañeda, Darío Guibert, Nacho de Frutos, Setareh Nafisi, Daniel Juarez, Pranas Kentra, Tyler Luppi, Mark Haanstra, Michael Moore, Steve Altenberg, June Koo, Rafael Pereira Lima, Patrice Blanchard, Benson Itoe, Marta Warelis, Adra Karim, Dimitar Karamfilov, Dimitar Liolev, Viktorija Pilatovic and Evden Dimitrov.

Stefan Goranov played and toured in the Netherlands, Germany,the USA, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Turkey, Tunisia, Greece, Slovenia and Bulgaria.
After recording his third album as a leader – Minimal Images – a solo drum/electronic record, Stefan is now releasing his fourth album with his trio/quartet Goraswing.
