Fabrique on UBLF Chilldown Period Ep16

The good people over at UBLF Chilldown Period just featured the track Fabrique on the latest installment of their podcast.

If you haven’t had a listen to their cast, I highly recommend you do. It’s a great source of finding new, great music, and makes for a great background for working.

New reviews

There’s been some good buzz and reviews of the Fabric of Life album over the past week.

Create Digital Music posted a great article on the album, the release strategy I used for it, and other related, and pertinent points, you can view the article here:

Thomas Raukamp posted a very flattering review of the album earlier this week, which you can read here:

UBLF Chilldown Period also posted a very thoughtful review on the album:

Scott, founder of Glitch.fm sent me an awesome quick review of the album too:

“Brilliantly beautiful textures and melodies filled with delicious granular details and good rhythms when only absolutely appropriate. Think BT’s “This Binary Universe” meets Guy Sigsworth’s compositions (and a little Enigma here and there)! If anyone involved in the film industry is reading this – AC deserves a job scoring films with work like this. Top favorites are Spring Rain, Fabrique, and Chrysalis though it’s all good. ” – Great Scott (Muti Music // Glitch.FM // Scarcity Records).

If you haven’t checked out glitch.fm yet I highly recommend you do, some pretty cool audio treats from many different DJs and artists. http://glitch.fm

Thanks to everyone for their time and effort on the articles and reviews, I sincerely appreciate it.

It’s official…..

With much excitement, I can finally officially announce that the Fabric of Life CD release date is April 17th. There’ll be 300 strictly limited edition copies with awesome custom packaging + extras for $20, the rest will be standard packaging, but also include a little surprise coolness in the packaging artwork.

New store on my website coming soon, which will cover digital and physical sales, with worldwide shipping.

Digital release on iTunes, and hundreds of other 3rd party stores will be approx 3-4 weeks after.

There’ll be a CD release party on the 17th to celebrate the release, which is a fundraiser for Summer Rain Recordings and Controlled Burn (the fire spinning collective). Cover is $10 which includes a free copy of the CD, personally signed if you wish. Release party details and flier below.

only 2 days left on my album fundraiser

Only 2 days left, any help to reach the target would be greatly appreciated. It’s an all or nothing deal, so if target not met, then I get nada. All donations are met with a gift from me, so you could perhaps see it as a pre-sale to the album with added extras, while also supporting the music you love :-)
