ALBEDO Dead Mouse Free Download


ALBEDO Dead Mouse Free Download

Fiat music contest on Facebook.

Cast your vote by downloading “DeadMouse” for free. 

 

 

         It was the 5-Year Anniversary of my album “7th Heaven”
last week. So, I decided to submit my most popular song from
the album “Dead Mouse” to a Fiat contest on Facebook. You can
cast your vote by downloading it for free at the link below.
Obviously you have to be logged in to Facebook to do it.


         Fiat is looking for the next big thing in music and they need
your help. Cast your vote for the band you think should win by
downloading your favorite songs. The 50 bands (10 from each
genre) with the most votes will receive great prizes from the FIAT
brand and one will have the chance to win an appearance on
VH1’s Top 20 Video Countdown airing on December 14th!

         “7th Heaven” by ALBEDO is a dance album which contains
a blend of synthetic and live instruments, described by a fan as:
"Mannheim Steamroller goes to the club!". It's similar in style to
Daft Punk, Mannheim Steamroller, and Yanni.

         After 5 years “7th Heaven” is still my top selling album, but
the Christmas album is slowly closing the gap so it may not last
for much longer. The most popular song from the album is called
“Dead Mouse” and has over 60,000 combined views on You Tube.
It has been mostly popular in the UK and across Europe. They love
their dance music over there!

Thanks for your vote!

New Album ALBEDO Magitek Released Today! Music from Final Fantasy VI.


New ALBEDO Album Released Today!

Magitek: Music from Final Fantasy VI.

http://www.albedomusic.com/albedomagitekfinalfantasyvi.html

 

My new album “Magitek: Music from Final Fantasy VI” was just released today! It will go live on iTunes on November 22, 2013.


The album is a collection of songs by Nobuo Uematsu from Final Fantasy VI, recorded in a new age style similar to Mannheim Steamroller and Yanni. This album is the accumulation of hundreds of hours of hard work, and I hope you'll enjoy it whether you play video games or not. So, it really means a lot to me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for being part of it!

Final Fantasy, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a role playing video game series that was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1987. Final Fantasy VI is obviously the 6th game in the series and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The music was written by Nobuo Uematsu. Who, by the way, is a big fan of the Fresh Aire series by Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller, and if you couldn't tell I am as well. You don't have to play the games to enjoy the music. Confession: Technically, I've never actually played the Final Fantasy games, but I love the music from them. So, I myself am a very good example of that. I'm familiar with the music because I know many people who have played the games, and I've also watched them being played many times.

Enjoy the new album!

Carol of the Birds cover by ALBEDO


Carol of the Birds by Mannheim Steamroller

Cover by ALBEDO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egdrHxNAk1s





This is the music video for the “Carol of the Birds” cover by ALBEDO on You Tube. This is a cover song I did of a Mannheim Steamroller song originally arranged by Chip Davis, but I re-arranged it for Recorder Quintet. Feel free to like the video and subscribe to my channel.

There's no need for you to be worried about me upsetting the original artist or doing things without their permission. Chip Davis himself has seen the video and enjoyed it. My friend Tom Hartig works for Chip and was the one who showed him the video. I was able to take a private tour of the Mannheim Steamroller warehouse awhile back and met a lot of great people who work there.

“Carol of the Birds” is a song from Mannheim Steamroller's first Christmas album. I don't necessarily consider it a holiday tune, since I enjoy listening to it year round. I arranged this cover song many years ago, and only recently decided to make it into a video. I have plans to make many more cover songs, but this is the first I've released.

Enjoy the video!

Music from Final Fantasy VI by ALBEDO!


Music from Final Fantasy VI by ALBEDO. Click on the link below to be a part of the project!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/albedomusic/music-from-final-fantasy-vi-by-the-new-age-artist

 


This fall I will be releasing a new album that will be nothing but music from Final Fantasy VI. It will be New Age arrangements of songs from the video game, similar in style to Mannheim Steamroller and Yanni. I just barely started a Kickstarter project today, so if you would like to be a part of the project please click on the link below!


For those who don't know, Kickstarter is a website where you can submit whatever project you're working on and people will donate in exchange for a reward. Usually a tangible object that has something to do with the project. A CD, T-shirt, etc. It's similar to a PBS pledge drive. “For your pledge of $100 today you will receive a blah blah blah....”. I'm pretty sure you've seen it on TV. As we speak I've already had several backers make pledges within the first few hours, so looks like it'll be pretty popular.

Final Fantasy, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a role playing video game series that was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1987. Final Fantasy VI is obviously the 6th game in the series and was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The music was written by Nobuo Uematsu. Who, by the way, is a big fan of the Fresh Aire series by Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller, and if you couldn't tell I am as well. You don't have to play the games to enjoy the music. Confession: Technically, I've never actually played the Final Fantasy games, but I love the music from them. So, I myself am a very good example of that. I'm familiar with the music because I know many people who have played the games, and I've also watched them being played many times.

All of the music qualifies as cover songs, which means I need to get permission to officially release the album and be completely legal. So, I'm asking for you to help me with the cost of getting all the cover songs cleared (not cheap for 18 songs), plus the cost for CD duplication. Which is where the Kickstarter website comes in, to take care of all that stuff for me that I can't do by myself.


On a side note, those of you who will be in the Salt Lake area this week, I will be performing at Taylorsville Dayzz this Thursday, June 27th from 5:30pm to 6:00pm on the East Stage. I'll be performing some of my original works, plus other other songs. The Utah Symphony performs with the Wasatch Cannoneers at 7:30pm, so you can come watch me then save a good seat for their show. Taylorsville Dayzz is just one of those yearly celebrations that cities in Utah like to do. Carnival rides, merchant booths, car shows, parades, fireworks, music, etc. You know the drill. Hope to see you there!

Have a Great Summer!
