Beyond Consciousness – Infinite Substance …and other goodies

by Leo on January 8th 2010, under News

Happy 2010! Best wishes for everyone, hugs and kisses all around, and rest assured this will be a year to remember!

Along with my sincere greetings I’d like to also let you know of a few developments that are going around here.
First things first, our new FREE song for the time being will be “Infinite Substance” (track #2 in the CD). Starting today you can download it for FREE. The details and story will be added to the queue and will appear along with the due details of ‘Prologo” as soon as possible.

Thank you very much to everyone who emails in with comments and suggestions and another big thank you guys for your praise, “Beyond Consciousness” is a work of love in a business where love seems to have no place at all, so for everyone who takes the time, thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

Deviating a little from “Beyond Consciousness”; the Official Soundtrack for “The Nameless Mod” has been released.
As some of you may know, The Nameless Mod (TNM for short) is a video game that was released less than a year ago, it has generated quite a following because of it’s very high quality, despite the fact that it took 7 years to develop (which means there were many personnel changes), and it is a fan-based project (based on the original engine for another game). Along with a handful of talented composers I was in charge of the Music department and we generated a very generous amount of music for it. Selections from it were then re-worked by their original composers and given cohesive endings and a linear approach (more suitable for the music’s enjoyment), but the amount of music was so big that it ended up being a double CD :P . The Official Soundtrack for The Nameless Mod (TNMOST for short) features 25 tracks, 9 of which were composed by me. The style is of course NOT Progressive Rock, so if you are in for a change I invite you to check it out.
I will be uploading a couple of tracks to the media player so you can get an idea, but if you just can’t wait, you can download if for FREE from the TNM website (both the Soundtrack AND the game). You can also buy a copy of the CD and own it in it’s sexier physical form.

Beyond Consciousness – Prologo

by Leo on November 25th 2009, under News

Hey there ! With this post I’m declaring “Beyond Consciousness” to be officially released. You can get it at the iTunes store and CDBaby, and you can still get the physical Promo CD at Kunaki -edit: not anymore-. Why Promo CD ? Well the story goes like this: “Beyond Consciousness” was conceived as a full-on artistic package. I got together with the best cover artist to do the cover and what we did was designed to be released as an 8 panel Digipak, the promo CD is a simplified version of the cover that I was forced to release so that I could afford manufacturing in low numbers. My idea was to have the Digipaks done in the meantime, but sometimes things don’t go the way you’ve planned an you just have to adjust to the situation. So we’ll have to wait a little longer for that awesome Digipak release and in the meantime you get the promo CD. The thing is though, that I don’t want to offer something less awesome than what I originally set out to offer, so for everyone who buys either the promo CD or the MP3 download, you’ll get a discount for the Digipak once I release it. (Don’t worry if you already bought it, I got you covered.)

Also, there will be no more free music downloads of the album, instead I’ll post one free song each month along with some notes and the story behind it. This means you can still get the whole album for free, you’ll just have to be patient. Of course you can still listen to the whole album online in the Media section.

This month I’m starting with “Prologo“.

Stay tuned for the story.

  Only seven days for the official release of “Beyond Consciousness”. That means there’s only seven more days of FREE music, so send a shout to everyone you know who hasn’t listened to the album yet and direct their ears in this direction… or was it you wanted to keep this to yourself?

I have some surprises prepared for you after November 11th. Stay tuned !

Talk to you soon!
