January
January was a busy month! Lots going on, and plenty more to come. Read on…
PIANO
“A Chime in the Woods 2005” has been released on CD and is available online at www.cdbaby.com. The general consensus is that the 2005 concert was “even better than the last” so if you haven’t heard it, head into the Gallery where I’ve got MP3s from the final master for free download. Seriously, free, so if you like it you should consider letting your friends know about it, too.
Also, if you or anyone you know subscribes to online digital music services, both “Bonjour Tristesse” and “A Chime in the Woods 2004” are now available, and Chime 2005 should show up there shortly as well.
INTERKOSMOS
My electronic music persona, INTERKOSMOS, is gaining some international attention, keep sending the encouragements! In January I released “London Mix,” taken from sketches I composed while in London last year then fully produced into an album that I am really proud of. It’s really upbeat and is ready to be played in clubs, yet many listeners have also called it soothing and great to work to.
“London Mix” has now reached my distributor and can be found online at cdbaby.com, and should start appearing on major digital music download services as early as March (iTunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music, and many more). The original sketches (MP3s) that led to the album are available for free download in the Gallery, too.
On a nice note, Rhapsody placed “A Chime in the Woods 2005” on their “most significant new releases of the week”. It was posted in the “Classical” genre, under 20th/21st century composers. It’s gone now, of course.
COMING SOON
INTERKOSMOS
Right on the heels of “London Mix” is “Proximity,” which is rapidly nearing completion! Another full-length album with (currently) nine tracks that pushes the Euro-club aesthetic into a variety of related genres including drum and bass, downtempo and even a track hinting at dub. There will of course be a good number of straight-ahead house tracks but all with whatever it is that makes my music different. Also slated for a February release!
The remastered, redesigned unlimited release of “Invasion Warning” is due out in mid-February on CDBaby.com, and will also appear in digital distribution soon after. Until then, the limited edition of 100 CDs is sold out. The new cover design by Allison Kline is awesome!
PIANO
WQFS in Greensboro, NC, is still planning to air a show about me, currently scheduled for “early February.”
Coming in late February I’m planning an online performance series. It’s an experiment that you’re welcome to participate in, please do. Every day for two weeks I will record a new piece (improvisation) and release it to this site for free download. I hope you get a chance to follow along with me, it should prove to be an interesting format.
