Love Comes Easy - Music

The Two Men Behind This Vision Singer Marcus Lantz And Synthesizer Player/programmer Christian Hartmann Have Known Each Other Since Their Early Teens Growing Up On The Same Street In A Suburban Town Outside Helsingborg In Southern Sweden. They Had Both Been Playing Music For Several Years When They First Started Playing Together. Marcus Was 17 And Christian 16 Years Old At The Time. In The Seven Years That Followed They Played Various Kinds Of Rock And Pop Together In Different Bands But It Wasn’t Until 2005 That They First Started To Experiment With Synthesizers And A More Electronic Sound. In Early 2006 The Members Of Their Band Stones Cry Out Decided To Go Their Separate Ways But Marcus – At That Time Playing The Drums – And Christian – Bass And Synthesizers – Decided To Carry On With Their Passion For Music. This Vision Was Born/formed. Starting Out The Duo Knew Little About In Which Direction They Were Heading For With Their Music. Marcus Took On The Role As The Singer And They Experimented With Synthesizers And Computer Programming To Re-Make Some Of Their Old Songs. Instead Of The More Common Way Of Writing And Rehearsing Arrangements In Advance Everything Was Composed And Conceived During The Recording Stage. Even Though This Made The Process Very Long This Vision’s First EP Was Released In 2007. The Songs Electronic Synth-Pop With A Touch Of Both The 80’s And Contemporary Music Was Very Well Received Both By The Public And The Critics Who Predicted A Great Future For The Band. Instead Of Going Live And Taking Their Music To The Stage The Duo Decided To Focus On Recording Its First Studio Album. All Of The Work On The Album Was Made By This Vision Themselves From Recording To Producing And Mixing. Their Close Friend Emil Svensson Helped Out By Recording The Guitars And A Fellow Local Musician Helena Arlock Lent Her Voice To A Mesmerizing Duet As Well As Designing The Artwork For The Album. For About A Year They Went Between Their Home Studio – Where Most Of The Recordings Were Made – And The Studio Were The Final Recordings Of Vocals Guitars And Mixing Took Place. After A Lot Of Intense Work And Finalizing Details During The Summer The Self-Entitled Album “This Vision” Was Finished In July 2009 And The Release Was Scheduled For September/October. read less
