TuneTrack

I'm thrilled to present demo #4!  It includes the following fabulous vocal additions: 

• Speck (remixer extraordinaire with a cool and unique voice) singing the chorus.
• SackJo22 (singer-songwriter w/ mind-blowing harmony abilities) singing harmonies at the bridge and uke solo part with Jack Burgess plus harmonies for the chorus & "la, la, la's" plus other fantastic touches.
• Moira Waugh (brilliant novelist and master of words with a gorgeous voice) singing harmonies for the chorus, awesome harmonic parts that mesh with NealBot & SackJo22's "la,la,la" section and other tidbits of vocal glory. 
• And of course, Jack Burgess of Rusty Strings is killing it on bass and harmony vox at the bridge.  TheDICE, Jack & Mary Burgess, Shannon Root Lee, and Rob Walker are gloriously singing the chorus.

There are now too many names to list in the title on SoundCloud, etc.  For now, I have simply put "Featuring Friends!" (thank you, TheDICE, for the idea).  We can keep that or vote on name for the group after all of the submissions are in.  Regardless, individual names will  be listed everywhere I can (i.e. in descriptions where it's posted and on the cover art). 

• What do you think the name for the sing along group should be?
• Do you like the new choral outro for the track???

Kara Square

I am extremely happy to share that two Kara Square songs were included in the double album The Best Time of the Year by ccMixter and Jamendo.  I also lent a hand in producing the album (with Snowflake, Copperhead, sackjo22, and go1dfish) and creating back cover art.

Guess what?  You can download BOTH albums for free on TuneTrack and on Jamendo!  My songs are part of the second side- the one called The Best Time of the Year?  My little atheist ditty "Please Don't Wish Me A Merry Christmas" is the first track.  "Our Last Christmas" is the fifth track.  It was composed by Snowflake and Vladimir Sterzer.  Snowflake wrote the lyrics and sings the lead vocals.  I added backup harmonies, glockenspiel, and mixed/produced it.   You can learn more about the albums on the ArtisTech Media's official press release.
