    NEW pixietricks holiday album!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey everyone! I take it most of you have not seen my website announcement yet, so I'll post it here:

    -----

    The original release date for physical copies - November 25th - has been pushed back to December 10th due to unforseen problems on the part of the CD manufacturing company. In the meantime, anyone who has preordered Through Sand and Snow will be receiving a free digital download of the album shortly!

    Those of you who ordered additional CDs as holiday gifts, have no fear: all orders will still arrive before Christmas. If you have any other special instructions, please don't hesitate to let me know at mail@jilliangoldin.com. So sorry for the delay!

    -----

    I know this may be a bit of a party pooper... But at least you will get to hear it even sooner, eh? :< Expect to receive an email with the download info by the end of the day; I'll be working through all the orders.

    And for those of you that DIDN'T preorder, remember that digital copies are still available today on CD Baby! (They will appear on iTunes as well, but unfortunately there's no way for me to predict when with them.)

    Hooray!

    I had another question too. From an artist profit standpoint, does it make a difference where I order this from? Do you make more off a physical copy than you do off an iTunes copy, etc? Because I'll wait for a physical if it gives you more money.

    Yes, I do get the biggest cut from physical sales since I'm set up directly with PayPal. They only charge a small transaction fee, whereas digital markets tend to take a bigger chunk. :3

    This guy's done matte painting for Fallout 3 promos! What a great choice.

    Yeah, isn't he incredible? I really lucked out... Since he works for a big design firm, normally they would charge in the thousands for something like this. But as it turns out, he is a big fan of New Age/chillout music! So after listening to my stuff, he liked it so much that he offered to treat it as a personal project! And of course, he's getting signed copies of all my albums for the rest of his life. :>

    Hi guys! I know I haven't been posting as often around here as of late, but OCR is still very much in my thoughts. I'm always lurking... :<

    So what have I been up to lately? Well, like a mad scientist I disappeared into the laboratory for a while to work on my masterful new creation! It's true. I locked myself away from the world - shunning food and almost all forms of human contact (with the obvious exception of zircon) - in order to bring you....

    Through Sand and Snow

    Release Date: November 25th, 2008

    Preorders Available: TODAY, at JillianGoldin.com!

    Price: A modest $9.99

    Songs Included:

    * Prelude

    * I Wonder As I Wander

    * What Child Is This? (a.k.a. Greensleeves)

    * God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

    * Walking In the Air (from the classic animated film "The Snowman")

    * Silent Night

    ...Woo hoo! So what are you waiting for? Preorder a copy, and ensure that you are among the first to receive the new album! :D

    Now for some more good news: in anticipation of the holiday season, I have set up all sorts of discounts and specials offers for both CD releases. With every copy of Through Sand and Snow that you preorder, you'll also receive a complimentary gift card featuring the winter song "Walking In the Air." You can pass it on to a loved one... or even send it out with your holiday cards this year, for that extra special touch. It's a beautiful winter song (non-demoninational), so anyone can enjoy it!

    This gift card offer also applies if you preorder Through Sand and Snow with a copy of Origins, in the 2-CD Combo Pack deal. :>

    And finally, both CDs are now set up to offer discounts in bulk - so you will automatically get 2-4 dollars off each additional CD that you buy!

    I know how hectic the holiday season can be, and that is largely why I was inspired to start this project in the first place. For Andy and I, it has been a whirlwind of music-making, track-mixing, and hair-splitting... But the result? A breath of fresh (albeit cold) air. ^-^

    Memories Associated With OCR

    For the past five years, my brother and I have been making OC ReMix playlists to listen to in our dearly departed car, which broke down a couple weeks ago. I couldn't even list all the songs we enjoyed over and over again, but they all tend to remind me of him. Driving and goofily singing along is like our special bonding time.

    Then there's 'Lover Reef', which has some very special memories attached to it. Hanging out and making music with zircon, Shonen, Taucer, and D-Lux was some of the most fun I've ever had at a meetup. And of course... that's where I met Andy in person the first time! ^_~
