Rodion G.A. is a revelation in creating a very personal and original music and unique sound in the world . It seems that it is nearly impossible to create a new sound and style in music today , when thousands of musicians and bands in the world are looking for inventing , a new , and attractive style , in music .
Rodion Ladislau Rosca , did . 30 years ago ! In 1975 !
Electronic Prog rock ? new wave ? Electronic music ? imagistic music ? psychedelic ? The best answer is : Rodion style .
I listened before , a lot of music , and many artists , but I cannot compare at all this sound with another one . This ,, enigmatic '' composer and artist , is born in Romania from Hungarian parents in Cluj - Napoca in April 4 day 4 1953 .
The Romanian Ignorant musical ,,industry'' , did not appreciate enough , his innovative work , to pay , his music , as he deserved .
Rodion Ladislau Rosca , formed in 1978 his band : Rodion G.A.
G. is coming from the name : Gicu , the drummer of the band , and A. is coming from the name : Adrian , the bass guitarist of the band , formed in November 1978 .
After 1 year , this band is known in Romania , as the first and most original electronic - rock music band . In fact , Rodion Ladislau Rosca , made , nearly all the music , alone , in his room , composing and recording with two tape recorder devices , and using , multi - tracking method , using some original solutions , for original different effects. When , finished , he went to the regional radio studio , and copied , his music , from his tape recorder , to the studio tape recorder !
He composed music for gymnastic contest , music for documentary movies , theater , generics for television , live concerts , and festivals , Winner of special jury prize at Top T from Buzau , and special Prize of jury and the ,, gold anchor " prize , in Mangalia 1987 music festival.
Most of his music was used in movies , and in different opportunities , without having his accept , and being not paid for his music. example : The Romanian movie : Mondo Umano by Ioan Grigorescu 1981 , who used Rodion's music , in the generic , in the very begining when , movie starts . the song name is : in linistea noptii.
All his music , was broadcasted , in Romania by different regional radio stations , and all his music and songs , without exception , achieved the ,, number one" place in all top 10 contest , of different Radio Stations , and magazines , in Romania . Rodion G.A. also , achieved the first place of top 5 of the Romanian National Television 's contest. In 1983 he lost his job , due , begrudge of his colleges and invidious people for his success . From this date , he stops to compose any new song , and after his mother : Rozalia , died in April 9 1989 , he decided to quit music , meaning , everything related to the music .
Miraculously , his unexpected absence , from the Romanian musical life , did not result to be forgotten . Much more :
People , with strong musical culture , who appreciated his work , inventivity , and originality , regrets his absence , and told stories , about him to the new , young generation , until most of the people , who knew him before , named him , to be a legend , a myth of the Romanian musical creation , pioneer of electronic music and godfather of Romanian New Wave music … ( New Wave ? … strange … ! In 1987 he was known as to be the godfather in electronic rock and electronic music in Romania , and Rodion G.A. , the first relectronic - rock band in Romania ) There are many , magazines , newspapers , almanacs and recorded radio announces , in our possession , proving this .
After 20 years , some people was looking for him , and finally find him in a village 30 km from Cluj - Napoca , living in a house , and having , ( at last ! ) enough space , to store his 1000 kg of instruments , loudspeakers , amplifiers , light systems , etc made by himself with his tools , hopes and trust , but living in deep misery , living in poor financial condition . Due his poor condition , he was unable to pay taxes for his apartment in his town , and decided to hire it for students for 150 EU / month , and pay taxes for this amount. He decided to move in a village and buy a house , where to live , with less expenses . But he was wrong. In the village , he had no job at all , so , less money , and totally isolation , outside the world ! He is not drinking alcohol , no smoking cigarettes , maybe one per week .
He was re-discovered , 4 years ago , by some , reporters , journalists and fans , and ,, The storm '' already began . A lot of journalists arrived , to make some incendiary short documentaries , revealing some interesting moments about his life in the village , including his vestimentation , and his unfinished house due his poor financially possibilities. Channel D Television , specialized in scandalous shows , made also a short documentary about him , but this time , Rodion was
treated and managed softly , due his musical reputation , and work in Romania ,
spending all his life for music .
Resuscitated by Mihai Antonescu , than later , by Ion Dumitrescu , who helped him to re-popularize his music , composed and registered 30 years ago , by himself alone , playing step by step each instrument , separately , including voices and background voices , using Multi-tracking methods , with old and ordinary tape recorders. His 30 years old music is very aggressive , with full ideas , and very actual , today , where the sound of the synthesizers and drums are dominant , but , Rodion never had synthesIzers ! . . .
Strut Records , released his first vinyl and CD-s in 2013 may 27 , and it is a revelation ! At the Piccadilly Records from Mancester , TOP 10 Reissues , this album : Rodion G.A. - The Lost Tapes , achieved the first place !
In the World , in other countries , it is a revelation for those who listened his music. See some reviews about this 30 years old music , but very actual and modern today . Rodion Ladislau's music cannot be placed in time and place .
In 2014 , Strut Records , released a second successful album , with cosmic sounds , composed for a cartoon , but never used , because another , concurrent composer , offered later , enough reasons , to the producer , to change his mind … ( !!! ) . . .
In January 2014 he went to Moscow , with his new band , to play in a club : the biggest in Moscow ,, arma 17 '' and achieved unexpected success. Then , one month later in Berlin , at Berghein Cantine , another successful live concert .
Because , the musicians , from this new Rodion G.A. band , has also their another band , they are trying to force Rodion , to accept , to play , the music of this band , in the same event dedicated for Rodion G.A. live concert.
Rodion had objections about this , and considered a blackmail this attitude, coming from the members who are playing in his band , but , trying to popularize the music of their , another second band , profiting by the opportunity of Rodion G.A. ' s concerts , especially because , the invitation was addressed for : Rodion G.A. as result of releasing ,, Rodion G.A. - The Lost Tapes '' by the Strut Records in 27 May 2013 , and considered to be a revelation .
This is why , if this attitude will persist , it is possible , Rodion , not to play with them , in the future .
4-5 ago , Rodion Ladislau was infected probably , medically with both hepatic c and hepatic b viruses and being discovered to late , now he have hepatic cirrhosis 2-nd stage ,from 4 , waiting for some financial help from somebody who can and wish to help him , to cure somehow , himself , needing money for drugs like interferon , or something else . In his house in this village , he still have no bathroom , and a decent room , where to live decently as he deserve , like a prominent and appreciated Romanian - Hungarian musician . With his actual poor health condition , Rodion is trying to release , some new , never heard original compositions , if … who knows …
