Who's playing a TogaMan?
Loga
Ramin Torkian (right) has been making waves with his TogaMan GuitarViol.
He was recently featured with his latest project "Niyaz" on
NPR KCRW 89.9 FM. 8/31/05
Update: I went to see "Niyaz" @ the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on 8/25/05....Packed house....and Loga played his TogaMan for The MAJORITY of the set! It was AWESOME!! Great musicians sitting in as well. GO see NIYAZ whenever you get a chance!
Film Composer Kevin Kiner (CSI-Miami/Star Trek) recently took delivery of a very beautiful "Honey Burst" TogaMan. So if you hear any 'string sounds' while watching CSI, it might just be......a TogaMan!
Another amazing film composer/guitarist/virtuoso playing a TogaMan is Heitor Pereira (who often works with Hanz Zimmer). Now that he has a TogaMan, you can hear Heitor's amazing talent on the soundtrack of the movie "Curious George" as well as on the new Nelly Furtado CD "Loose".
Beau Jarred (left), a firey Gypsy/Flamenco/Classical/Composer-Guitarist located in Nashville recently took up the GuitarViol and is having quite an affair with it. His mother Melanie Safka is a living legend of the "Woodstock" artists.
