Jillian Aversa Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 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! 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. ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ahh Walking in the Air...I always think of Nightwish when I think of that song now (they covered it early in their career). Nice to see another album though - preordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmr Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Those previews sound amazing. Pre-ordered the 2CD pack. I'm not sure why I held off buying Origins for so long in the first place, so I figured now is a good a time as any to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Pre-ordered! The gift card is a good idea, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ordered! I loved Origins, so naturally this was an instantaneous decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ahhh, thanks for the warm reception! I'm glad you're liking the previews, and Wes: yeah, I've heard the nightwish cover of Walking In the Air. It's such a great song that I couldn't resist... :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziellink Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I pre-ordered it blindly. Don't let me down, Pixietricks! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadGonzo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It might be abit too early for a happy Xmas album for me... but this topic finnaly made me get Origins and I freaking love it! getting all the remixes right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did the art for Origins, but my concept for this cover was too advanced for me to pull off on my own, so I hired Daniel Kvasznizca of iNetGraFX.com.

Moguta Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 * Walking In the Air (from the classic animated film "The Snowman") Oh wow, I had no idea that song was from a Christmas movie. The only place I've encountered it is on Nightwish's Oceanborn album; they do a wonderfully evocative cover. Hope your version can stand out after hearing it done so well. ^^ I don't usually buy holiday albums, though, since it's akin to hearing Terra remixed for the millionth time. I'll have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to think about it. Haha, it's not ANY holiday album. I'd be skeptical too, but the previews sold me. Moneys transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy's done matte painting for Fallout 3 promos! What a great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 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. :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eino Keskitalo Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 The previews sound excellent. Considering to order some copies for gifts. If I wasn't broke, I wouldn't have to think about it. edit: Nice touch with the footsteps in snow in Prelude. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brome Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Incredible ! The samples sound horribly FANTASTIC ! I am sure to order the CD sometimes ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah, I wanted to set up those bulk discounts so that people could afford to get a bunch as Christmas gifts! With the economy the way it is right now, I think we could all benefit from reining in spending... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
