The Cloudmaker Project is Mamontovas first solo recording effort as a principal songwriter. Mamontovas over the years has been influenced by the songs and musical arrangements of Peter Gabriel, R.E.M., Dave Matthews, with a touch of The Paul Winter Consort. His passion for delivering compelling recordings are evident.
The just completed video for "No Reason Why" is decidedly imaginative and innovative demonstrating an emerging creativity so very genuine.
Music is a first love for Mamontovas and we hope you may hear the same magic that we do.
