At this year's NAMM Show I got to play my favourite Dogal Strings on a very beautiful instrument, sensitive and uniquely hand crafted by OD Guitars, at the Bare Knuckle Pickups booth!
I am very grateful to the many people who helped, Marco Celegon for these images, fittings and everything else, Omer Deutsch and Tali Deutsch at OD Guitars, Aidan Israel, Michael Sean Miller, and Timmy, Ben and Chris at Bare Knuckle! 🎶🎸❤️

"What a striking effect lies in this clear arrangement!"
Awestruck! There's an excellent review of my album in the latest issue (Dec. 2023 - Jan. 2024) of Good Times Magazine!
I've got mine (the one with Frank Zappa on the cover) - recommended, grab your copy now!

Lazland.org published the Lazland Awards 2023 (l!nk underneath) and my album is the Find of the Year!
"The award dedicated to someone or something I had not come across before but undertook to explore more. There was a clear winner here. Ana Patan’s Spice, Gold and Tales Untold remains a regularly played album, which I headlined as a treat for inquisitive minds. It is a delight; she is a huge talent and a lovely human being."
I am very happy for this!
Thank you!!

The main newspaper welcoming my music in the region! On the main page, and an extended story on two whole pages in the culture section. Thank you Norra Skåne!
I'm very grateful to the people who actually made it happen: Lars Stenberg (apllause and bow!!) for initiating and supporting this all the way, Marika Höghäll, Anders Mårtenson for the skilled writing, Sofia Åström for the beautiful article photos, and also many thanks to Martin Davidsson for the notification and for these pictures which I can post here for you! ❤️

MELODIVA published this heart-warming review of my album. It is signed by Fee Kuhn - L!nk below (in German). Thank you!!
"It is described as jazz-rock, but it's so much more"
"The wide bandwidth and careful selection are pleasantly noticeable. Also special: the analog recording technology, which gives the songs a rough, simple, natural sound [...] fantastic accompanying musicians [...] excellent vocal technique"

"...One of the best I've heard in many years, across all genres. By the way, the sound is also one of the best!
This album breathes and lives music.
One of my absolute top recommendations for you this year!!!"
Can an album review get better than this one on hoeren-und-fuehlen.de?! Link (German) in the comments
I feel so fortunate than some people can look at my music like that! 😊🤩

"There's her voice, coming out quite straightforward. There's rhythm, force and passion, as well as clever lyrics, that make the album worthwhile."

Here's from a piece called "Mood for Italian Food", only available in these art/exhibitions contexts by gifted artist Luciana Tamas.
It's a funny quirky jazzy song about creativity, and how one needs nourishing breaks to refuel it.
Symptomatic/Asymptomatic (which I invite you to check out and follow) is a pavilion, curated by Luciana Tamas, in the ample online art exhibition The Wrong Biennale, an independent, multicultural, decentralised and collaborative international art biennial.
As you can see, it also features my live sounds, texts and edited images.
But you'll find works by many other artists, like bass titan Jonas Hellborg for example.

"She is equally good at it all: guitar playing, singing, composing. Which is actually not that usual, for example that a skilled, yes, virtuosic guitarist would write such good, direct and accesible pieces."
A splendid review by reputed music journalist Bengt Eriksson in the latest issue (Oct. 2023) of Swedish magazine Hifi & Musik. This makes me very happy indeed, and I appreciate it greatly! ❤️
The jazz world is opening its arms to my music with an excellent review from Jazzfun of my newly arrived CD "Spice, Gold and Tales Untold".
"Purists may question the jazziness of this recording, but what good are such discussions when a shiver runs down your spine when listening to this CD? The sparse arrangement and the unpretentious singing of Anna Patan, the simplicity and authenticity of the artistic expression contribute to the unique atmosphere of this recording." Jazzfun, Sep. 2023

I am stoked to announce that, from today on, "Spice, Gold and Tales Untold" is to be found as a physical product (CD) in physical shops around the world - Europe, Scandinavia, America, Canada, UK... hey, I even saw it in Japan! Of course you can also buy it online - I'll add my preferred link in the comments section - otherwise just google its name/artist and see where you can find it. 🤩🥳
Yippee, I'm so happy!!

I know that this platform doesn't like us sharing videos (and therefore keeping them back them from being seen) but I don't care about what this platform likes.
You on the other hand might like to see this piece performed live the other day at Äskeberga Kulturförening Festivalen, with Per Stadin on bass and Rickard Langnesund on drums. It's called 21st Century Citizen and it may be shared (despite of what this platform likes). 🎧🎸🎤🥁🎶

Heavier ego,
Easier money,
Tinier mobile,
Larger TV,
Gotta keep getting loans to buy more than I need,
Drink more than I should drink,
Eat more than I should eat,
Trying to...
Get smarter,
Get thinner,
Get younger
If I wanna make it!
Get popular,
Get healthier,
Get happier
Or else learn how to fake it!

My teddy-bear youtube video has just reached 10000 views!
Just because you, listeners of all nations, seem to like this little song in Romanian, so positive and full of energy, which I wrote way back in my highschool years... I still keep playing it live in every single concert, it's a feelgood thing!

Many thanks Darkstars - the alternative web-fanzine for all sorts of info regarding guitarists, metal, festivals and much more - which has reported on my music before (in fact this pic is from their earlier article).
