Hello!
I realised that I haven't wished anybody a happy new year, here. So. Happy new year!
Your Pete has been a busy bee. First things first, I recently completed a piece for Drowtales, which was an exciting experience, as I actually didn't do any work on the vocals myself. Instead, I got to bring in my ever-wonderful friend Leslie, who totally nailed what we were looking for. The song is going to be used in a project, and that is all I'm going to say at the moment. ^_^ I'll tell you more about it when we're closer to its release.
Other news: Have you got a Twitter account? I have one. Add me, if you haven't already! Coming up soon, there's going to be the Twestival, which is a great idea. Personally, I'm participating in twestival.fm, which means that I've got some music for you all to download. Here are the details, from the twestival.fm site:
"On 12 February 2009, 100+ cities around the world will be hosting Twestivals bringing together local Twitter communities for an evening of fun as well as raising money and awareness for Charity: water. Twestival.fm is a global online music project in association with Twestival aiming to raise an additional $20,000 for charity.
We’re now looking for artists, musicians and labels using Twitter who would like to give something back to the community and donate a track. You’ll be helping raise money for a good cause and promoting your music to an audience of tens of thousands. We also expect international press attention and plenty of buzz in the Twitterverse.
All donated tracks will be made available to stream and download for free via the Twestival.fm player (powered by SoundCloud). The player will be available to the general public from 5th to 19th February. Visitors to the Twestival.fm site are asked to leave a voluntary donation or tip (using Tipjoy) in a Radiohead-style ‘pay what you want’ manner. All tips will be given in full to Charity:Water and the most generous tippers listed on the site."
The song I wrote is called "Wonderful (The Mad Scientist's New Wife)," and it's going to be available, along with ~90 other songs, through twestival.fm from the 5th to the 19th of this month. The song is a bit different, tone-wise, from the pieces I've written lately, but I'm awfully fond of it, so I hope you'll give it a listen and help some kids out in the meantime.
Charity: Water is a wonderful charity, for the record, dedicated to getting clean water to developing nations. This is important work, and I'm glad they're out there to do that work.
So: I hope you'll download and enjoy the songs, and help some people out while you're at it.
Yours,
-Pete
