MI7®

Yes..... here it is:

My music on iTunes.

I'm proud to tell you that starting from today (081023) you can buy my music at CDbaby.

And within a few weeks also from iTunes.

Greetings to you al.

Last update about 2 months ago.. hmmm whell there was a reason for it.
I moved to our new home and that costs a lot of time, not to mention that moving an internet connection was horrible.
I have some internet connection now, but hopefully next week my new provider will connect me with fiberglass.

In the meantime, my studio is still a mess (some other things got a higher priority). So my gear is now situated in a boombox ;o)
hopefully just a few weeks to rebuild the studio and to start working again.

BTW. Great news ...  We (as in KSK Productions) composed the music and wrote the lyrics for a school musical here in Holland. And last week the musical was performed.. great to see what kids are doing with your creations. I loved it. 

Today we received the key to our new home. So the next weeks will be hard work to get this home in good order and to build a new project studio.

So my CD will be released later.

But in the mean time I have uploaded a new song...
My company KSK  Productions started a project for a Lounge CD, and I uploaded the first test of the first song of this album.

Please have a listen and  let me know if you like it or not.

As a member of Pro-Demo they give me the opportunity to have a free interview so that other members but also the broadcast companies could listen to it to know of of me and my music.

So a few weeks ago I went to the studio of Tom Pearce to be interviewed.
You can listen to the interview on my website: http://www.siflaar.nl/patrick-schouten_en.html or listen to it using the podcast/download.

Greetings form The Netherlands. 

Yesterday I joined the website http://www.Pro-Demo.com.

 This site is run by Tom Pearce and gives musicians the opportunity to put there profile and music in there database.

It is not like MI7, it is not a social network for musicians, but  this database is browsed often by broadcast companies, looking for new material and composers.

But there is more. The website is also selling my music. Through there contracts with Stichting Sync (who are authorized by the Dutch BUMA/STEMRA for licensing) and there own contacts I can sell my music through iTunes, E-Music, OD2, Amazon and many other outlets and have my music used in broadcasting (TV/radio), advertisements, games and Realtones. 

Interested? Have a look on there website.

Or listen to all my songs on this site.

Lets hope I start selling my tunes. 

So 2007 is almost at its end. It was personally a good year started with the release of my CD 'AMBIand - Soul of the mountain'.

During this year I created the songs for my new album 'AMBIand - Spirit of the sea' and I did a lot of other projects for my music company.

Next year I hope to finnish the CD and create the songs for the next one. I hope to share all those songs with you and hope to read your comments to them.

Thank you all to be a part of my music this year and lest make 2008 a good music year.

So, finally the basis for my next CD is finished. (I uploaded some 5 minutes of my last song to the site today)

That means that the next months I will polish the songs, mix them, send them to the Master Engineer, finding someone who wants to design my CD graphics...

Early next year the CD is ready to hit my web store.

I will keep you all up to date.

greetings,

Patrick Schouten 

Currently on vacation to Tenerife and already making new music friends here.

Live is great, as long as you take the time for it.

So, this new album must start with some sound.

I created this soundscape to the Spirit of the sea. It is not finished, but it is getting there. 

Well, I started last month with my new album "spirit of the sea" and it is going well.

To give a glimb away, I posted one of the songs here for you to listen to. If you have any comments, please let me know.

I will also post a second song from this album here shortly.
