Jillian Aversa Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hey guys. I have a bit of exciting news to announce. First and foremost, my first original album is currently underway! That's right - one album, one me, and... an indeterminate number of songs. ^_~ When will be the release, you ask? I'm shooting for this coming spring, 2008. A realistic goal, I believe, but I'll hold off on the specifics until things are closer to completion. The album itself will feature soaring vocal tracks mixed with a dash of ethnic/electronic flavor. Inspired by such artists as Enya and Loreena McKennitt, I hope to envoke an emotional response through my music while exploring new methods of lyrical communication. If you've downloaded any of my video game remixes, expect music along a similar vein... only better! Special appearances from zircon, and possibly other interested artists from the community, as well. Now, if you are a particularly zealous fan - or even a mildly curious person - then you're in luck! I have finally set up an official mailing list, which will allow me to send out the occasional update with samples of my current work, release dates, and other tasty tidbits. If you're at all interested, don't hesitate to join! Just head over to the "Contact" page on my website, enter in your email address, and check off the "Join my Mailing List" option before submitting. I doubt I'll email you more than once a month, but you can always remove yourself from the list if you decide you've heard enough of my voice for a while. Anyway, I'm definitely psyched for this project. I have two tracks completely finished, one almoooost done, another in progress, and several rough sketches. Things are coming along well! I'll post a couple previews on my site and myspace in a bit, but first dibs to those on the mailing list. :> Quote
Bahamut Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Oh shit, I'm in. Any potential for vgm in the album or no? Quote
Dyne Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Pixietricks' first album! SWEET! I can't wait to hear this! Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 I probably won't do any vg remixes on the album, mostly for legal reasons because I'm too lazy to go through the permissions process... But never say never. Quote
siven7 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Right on, Pixie! Sounds amazing - super pumped to hear it (in 10 months, lol). ps: Loreena McKennitt is amazing, fine small-town Manitoba girl! (I grew up in small town Mantitoba as well, but not the same town as Ms. McKennitt, boo.) Quote
zircon Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 As I'm helping to produce/master some of the tracks, I can say all of the ones I've heard so far are great. Even if you don't like some of pixie's remixes, you'll no doubt find something you like here as there are a lot of styles involved. Quote
The Instrumental Light Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 This should be quite interesting, your works have always been very unique and flat out awesome so i'm very curious how your album is going to be. I'm also a big Enya fan which influences it a lot too. Good luck, pixietricks. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Thanks! And yeah, to expand upon what zircon said earlier... I think you'll find the tracks on this album of higher quality than a lot of my remixes here. I've been paying much more attention to detail than I normally would for a vg tune, and with Andy's mastering expertise things should sound pretty polished in the end. :> Quote
debeerguy007 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Indeed. (smokes a bubble pipe) On a side note: Christ Almighty, I've been coming to this site for 4 years, and I've only made like 300 posts?!?! O_O goddamn I need to talk more. : / Quote
The Unsung Plumber Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I read the title and thought, "Wait, NEW alblum? where's the old alblum?" But in all seriousness, I cannot wait for this. Be sure to give us previews!...Please? Quote
KiroiKiri Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I'm really looking forward to this. I'm a huge fan of your work so this should be awesome. Definitely joining the email list. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Absolutely. Previews soon! I want to give first dibs to the people on the mailing list (which includes you now), and then I'll put some short clips up on my website and MySpace. Quote
Darkness Lite Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 After getting Antigravity and hearing the work you and Zircon put into it, I look forward to hearing the new album, when it comes out. If possible, I'd like to be on the list, please. Quote

If possible, I'd like to be on the list, please. I can't manually add you to the list without knowing your name and email address, but it's easy. Just go to this page, enter your return address, check off the "Join my Mailing List" box, and click submit. You will then receive an ugly confirmation email that requires you click one last link to activate your subscription. ^_~ Quote
eternal Zero Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 You will then receive an ugly confirmation email that requires you click one last link to activate your subscription. ^_~ Oh my God that mailing address was hideous, haha. Might want to look into that. Quote
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Pretty good friggin news hun, I do believe I'll be in a good mood all day now. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Oh my God that mailing address was hideous, haha. Might want to look into that. Yeah, I looked into it last night with the help of zircon and Xerol, but unfortunately there's no way to change it. At least it's just a one-time email? :/ Quote

At least it's just a one-time email? :/ This is very true. The only issue is that if I wasn't expecting it, I would have thought it to be spam. Quote
The Instrumental Light Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I sent the message to become on the mailing list but i didn't type anything in the message box, so if you see one like that its probably mine. Quote
The Unsung Plumber Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I sent the message to become on the mailing list but i didn't type anything in the message box, so if you see one like that its probably mine. As long as you put in your e-mail address it should work. Quote
The Instrumental Light Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 The only reason i was concerned is because it said fill out all blanks or whatever above, and the message part was up there. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted August 1, 2007 Author Posted August 1, 2007 As long as you put in your email address *and checked off the Join box*, you should be fine. I think I remember seeing you in there, anyway. :> Quote
DonJavo Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Sounds like a nice endeavor, and I hope your having fun while doing it. Good luck with it! Quote
