A Note From DianaAs I think most musicians will say, they love all different styles of music. I don't like to put music into genres, I always say it's either good or bad. I thought to myself that I already had classical albums from wonderful musicians so why should I redo do what those have already done so well? My interests were definitely heading elsewhere and creatively I needed to experiment with new things to satisfy me musically - pushing the boundaries for the violin All I strive for is for people to join me on the journey and enjoy my music. In return, I will promise that there will be plenty more to come. Diana Yukawa |

The Butterfly Effect - by Diana Yukawa |
Co-written by Diana Yukawa and Andy Wright |
Making the Butterfly EffectThe Butterfly Effect is the new album by violinist Diana Yukawa, one of the world’s most exciting and talented musicians. Together with renowned Producer Andy Wright, Diana has created a groundbreaking sound for the violin. Through the years since being discovered by BMG at age 13, Diana has discovered a passion and a natural talent for creating her own music. Although respectful of her classical roots, Diana wanted to demonstrate that the violin isn’t purely a classical instrument. Having invested a lot of time in developing her new sound, Diana has poured her heart and soul into the creation of each piece whilst running against the grain of people’s expectation. Creating music comes very naturally to Diana but the journey to this point has been a very steep climb. Creating new music that doesn’t fall into a specific genre coupled with the preconception that Diana’s instrument is only for classical music, created many hurdles. But for Diana, these hurdles just had to be jumped. 8 years have passed since the release of Diana last album, during which time she has created a modern sound for the violin. Having started collaborating with Producer, Andy Wright in 2008, Sphere Studios in London was their home as they pushed the boundaries for the violin and the music took shape. Once all the tracks had been written and perfected, the notorious Studio One at Abbey Road provided the perfect location to house the final recording. Its technical aptitude and magical acoustics united with the knowledge of its previous groundbreaking occupants, added yet another layer to the final sound of The Butterfly Effect. Listeners of The Butterfly Effect are taken on a wonderful journey through the wonderful collection of tracks, held together with a certain magical ambience, uniting them all perfectly. The wonderfully varied pace from one track to the next keeps the listener engaged, activating a vast array of emotion with every note. Diana Yukawa’s producer, Andy Wright is a notorious and very talented gentleman who has worked with the likes of Simply Red, Jeff Beck, the late Luciano Pavaroti and Massive Attack so she was in the best hands. Andy and Diana’s ideas blended together like a dream, testament to the great working relationship they have but furthermore verifying to Diana, that Andy was the perfect Producer choice to accompany her on the very special journey. |
