We recently discovered a brilliant Romanian band called Contemplate, who release music through Liverpool based Ditto Music.
The duo mix the best of contemporary EDM inspired pop, with, we think, a hint of Linkin Park. Synth driven the band comprises of Glad Condor (singer/songwriter) and Lucian Vasiac a.k.a. Ronnie (producer, keyboardist and bassist). They say their influences include old/new rock, pop bands and also a wide range of uplifting and emotional instrumental music.
After meeting in 2010, Glad and Ronnie realized how much they musically had in common . Although they were playing in different local bands, they always had the idea of forming a musical project together. An opportunity arose for the two to embark on a project, due to the disbanding of their groups at the time. They started to meet at jam sessions before deciding to form their first band, “Hiatus M”.
The duo went on to create their own home studio where they begun writing songs. In the summer of 2015, after a three day trip to the Carpathian Mountains, they decided to go by the name Contemplate.
Back then, the focus was primarily on performing at as many live shows as possible, and after a short period of time, the band found itself touring Romania’s underground music scene. Their songs were categorized as rock and occasionally metal. In 2015, Glad and Ronnie grew increasingly unhappy with the direction that the band was taking and after a couple of shows, (with a small attendance of fifteen to twenty people), they decided to disband.
After three years of development, the pop/electronic duo released their debut EP, “Flashbacks” in April 2018.
Their new main objective was to develop their music and also their personal musical skills before performing in any other live shows. This decision had set up the path for a whole new beginning.

Focusing more on feeling rather than technique, “Contemplate” started a new musical journey, experimenting, writing and producing many songs before finally reaching their full musical potential.
