Hey all! I'm pleased to announce the digital release of my new album, "The World Circuit" (http://www.cdbaby.com/zircon4). This album is not a full-length release like Antigravity (http://www.cdbaby.com/zircon3) or Impulse Prime (http://www.cdbaby.com/zircon2), but rather more of an EP. It was originally written for use in media licensing, but I decided to make a slimmed-down version available to the public. The description, from my website & CD Baby:
Ever thought about how cool it would be if that breakbeat tune you just heard had a Japanese taiko breakdown? How about some slick drum n' bass rhythms in a samba? Gregorian choirs plus granular synthesis? A bit of Persian bouzouki in your smooth jazz? Maybe you haven't, but you're about to hear what it's like!
Welcome to THE WORLD CIRCUIT...
This EP-length album consists of eight songs that explore sounds, melodies, and harmonies from around the world and fuse them with modern electronic elements like synth basses, sweeps, blips, pads, and drum machines. Close your eyes and imagine exploring an ancient South American ruins in "Enter the Temple". Feel the cool breeze as the pulse of "Drum and Bossa" gets your foot tapping. Or envision a multi-million dollar movie car chase to the tune of the bombastic "Bazaar". From the rainforests of Africa to Eastern Europe, the Far East, India, and more... this album is an ethnotronic adventure you've gotta check out.
It is available EXCLUSIVELY in digital format - WAV through my own site (http://www.zirconstudios.com/store.html) or MP3 through CD Baby (http://www.cdbaby.com/zircon4). The list price is $7.99, though it IS part of the $5 CD Baby sale, which means you only pay $5 for the DRM-free MP3 version provided you pick up another 2 CDs @ $5. You CAN get the physical or digital copy of Antigravity (http://www.cdbaby.com/zircon3) as part of this sale, as well as sgx's Better Than Sliced Beats (http://cdbaby.com/cd/sgx)!
Worth noting... people on my mailing list got a special offer for this album; not only did they get to hear previews sooner AND obtain it before the official release, but I also took a cue from Radiohead. You could pay nothing for it, a minimum of $1.30 through Paypal, the list price, or really anything in between. So really, any of y'all who aren't on my mailing list, you definitely should sign up so you don't miss killer deals like this in the future. :) Just send an email with the subject "Subscribe" to list (at) zirconstudios (dot) com.
Anyway, this is probably the most varied release I've done and the early reception from people on my list has been very good. If you like my remixes, my original music, or ethnic music in general, then I think you'll be interested.
