New ALBEDO album coming next week!


New ALBEDO album coming next week!




There is a brand new ALBEDO album and it's officially released next week on Monday the 8th of October. It's called: “Symphony No. 1”.

The album is a five movement symphony based on the music from “Forgotten Lands”. If you're not familiar with “Forgotten Lands” it was an album released last year, and is the soundtrack to a video game by TBC Productions. For this album I took the music I wrote for the video game and made it bigger. I re-did the orchestrations and completely re-did the recordings. I put similar songs together and ended up with 5 different movements, while expanding some songs and putting in some brand new sections.

The music, recordings, and CD design are all finished. I'm just finishing up with the sheet music this week which will also be available upon the album release.

You can get a Pre-Order CD right now for only $5. It will cost more once the album has been released since it'll only be available through established retailers. We are now a wholesale company, which means we no longer sell our products directly to the consumer. Products will be shipped off to already established retail companies and they will be the ones who will sell everything from now on.

If you can't possibly stand to wait another week, the album is currently available to listen to on the bandcamp website at the link below. Enjoy!

Albedo to Release Their First New Age Christmas Album



The New Age Music Artist Albedo is in the process of completing their very first Christmas album. According to their website, the release date will be November 1, 2012. Their style is similar to Mannheim Steamroller or Kurt Bestor, but featuring more vocals.

The album will be a collection of secular and sacred Christmas songs using live and synthetic elements. Ranging from synthetic mixes, to solo piano, to chamber orchestra, to full symphonic score with choir. Doug Clyde, the composer and creator of Albedo, sings all the vocal parts on the album himself, including the solos and all the choir parts. He also plays a lot of different woodwind instruments including Clarinet, Oboe, and Recorders. All of which will be used on the album. Everything else will be achieved digitally through the use of synthetics and virtual orchestra samples. Some of the songs included on the album are: Jingle Bells, Up On the Housetop, Silent Night, What Child Is This, O Come All Ye Faithful, plus music from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker and Handel's Messiah.

CDs will be available on their website, and Pre-Order CDs can be purchased right now for only $5. This price is a pre-release special and will not last long. Mp3s will be available at several online stores, including iTunes and Amazon in November. There are some fund raising projects planned for the months of September and October on websites like KickStarter and PledgeMusic, if clients would like to get involved with the project. There will be plenty of merchandise awarded for any size pledge amount they would like to give, including CDs, mp3s, Sheet Music, T-Shirts, plus more.

Albedo has also just barely released a classical album called “Symphony No. 1.” It's a five movement symphony based on the music from a previous album called “Forgotten Lands”, which is the soundtrack to a video game released back in 2011. CDs are currently available on their website for only $5.

Albedo can not only be heard on CD, but in live performances as well. There will be a live concert where Albedo will perform songs from the Christmas album in December at a yet to be determined venue somewhere in Salt Lake City. Plans are also being made for a music video to be filmed and released this year. Please check their website for updates on all of these events.

2 New ALBEDO Albums Coming Soon!


Two New ALBEDO Albums 
Coming in October and November!



      Sorry for not sending out any messages for awhile. I was in Omaha, Nebraska in June taking a private tour of the Mannheim Steamroller facilities. I love their music and it was a great honor to see their warehouse and talk to the people behind the scenes! Then in July I performed in a musical at the Egyptian Theater in Park City (Yes, that's the same place where the Sundance Film Festival is held). It was a sold out performance every single night, but just because I've been away doesn't mean I've stopped creating.
      By the end of the year there will be 2 new ALBEDO albums! The first will called Symphony No. 1, and should be released in October of this year. It's a five movement symphony based on the music I wrote for Forgotten Lands (the soundtrack to a video game, which was released last October). The second will be a Christmas album that is scheduled to be released by November this year. It will most likely be called ALBEDO Christmas. It will contain many yuletide favorites, including updated versions of Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop. It's written in a New Age/Classical style and will be a mixture of synthetics and acoustic instruments. The sound is similar to Mannheim Steamroller (obviously I'm a big fan and heavy influenced by them). I'm really excited about this one, so I'll definitely keep you posted when updates become available. Enjoy your summer!

Check the following link for updates on both projects!

ALBEDO Forgotten Lands CD!


The “Forgotten Lands” CD is now available on CD Baby, Bandcamp, plus more!
Soundtrack to the video game "Forgotten Lands VIII: The Legend of Shadow Lake" by TBC Productions. 


      The physical CD for the album “Forgotten Lands” is finally available on other websites. The process took longer then expected, but it's finally here. It's available on CD Baby, Bandcamp, Day Murray Music, plus our website. Currently we only have 15 copies left in stock, and I don't think I'll be printing any more. Once we run out, CD Baby might have a few more copies in stock. Mp3 downloads will still be available on iTunes, Amazon, etc. once the CDs are gone.

      For those of you who don't know, “Forgotten Lands” is the soundtrack to the video game "Forgotten Lands VIII: The Legend of Shadow Lake" by TBC Productions. The music ranges from full orchestral score to ragtime to fiddle music, and is similar to the music from Zelda and Final Fantasy.

     I'm currently working on a full symphonic version of this album that I'm planning on getting a recording of with live musicians. I'll keep you updated on that project. Have a nice Easter!

ALBEDO To Release Forgotten Lands Video Game Soundtrack


The Artist ALBEDO will be releasing their latest album “Forgotten Lands”, the full orchestral soundtrack to the video game “Forgotten Lands VIII: The Legend of Shadow Lake” by TBC Productions.

ALBEDO “Forgotten Lands”


         The Classical/New Age Artist ALBEDO will be releasing their latest album titled “Forgotten Lands” on CD by this Thanksgiving. It features music from the brand new video game “Forgotten Lands VIII: The Legend of Shadow Lake” by TBC Productions. The video game itself was created in the old 2-D 8-bit style of the mid 1980's and is a Medieval Fantasy Role Playing Game. It's designed for Windows PCs and can currently be downloaded from their website at the link above.

        The music for the video game is a full orchestral epic soundtrack similar to The Lord of the Rings movies or the Zelda and Final Fantasy video games. The music comes in a variety of styles ranging from ragtime to fiddle music to big classical orchestrations. Doug Clyde composer of Forgotten Lands stated “I've always wanted to write music for a video game and I finally got the chance!”

        ALBEDO can not only be heard on CD, but in live performances as well. Several songs from their last album “Digital Fingers”, a collection of orchestral works by Utah composers, have been performed by several Bands and Symphonies around the country. The song “The Battle of Shiloh” by Kelly Richardson from the album was performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City just last April. “Classical & Scores Suite” by Doug Clyde, “Gaelic Warrior” by Kelly Richardson and “Creaturehouse” by Steven Grames & Eric Kartchner also from the album were all performed by the Davis County Symphony back in March at the same concert.

        Pre-Orders of the “Forgotten Lands” CD are available with free shipping and will ship by November 26th, but according to their website the low price will only last until the end of the month. MP3 downloads of the album are already available on sites like iTunes and Amazon, along with the songs from “Digital Fingers”. More information about both albums can be found at the link below.
