Remix Contest

We are just now going through all the remixes that were sent in for the upcoming release of 'Shooting Laser Beams'. Thanks so much to all the remixers involved for taking your time, effort and passion to do a remix for us.!!! We love hearing all the different versions. We will be going through and making an announcement when we can, however just to let you know it will still be a little while before the single will be released.

Radio Stations

We just sent a big mailing of 'Ultrashiver' out to 250 College Stations, so most stations should have the CD and some might even play it =).

Please do us a favor call your favorite radio station and request it. Let them know you want them to play it...every bit helps really.

Hidden Sanctuary

Thanks to the people behind the scenes...like Mike V of Hidden Sanctuary who spends his time and enegy to help expose underground music purely for the love of music. Thanks Mike it means a lot to all of us...go listen to the station...there are many great artists to discover....tell Mike we said hi.

The Music World Today

So now if you really have bothered to read this far...your probably thinking wow...they must be,selling tons of CDs...well the answer is not good. Seems like people are not bothering to buy CDs much any more...the whole industry is changing....look around at the schools... art and music is going away. It's starting to feel a little dismal...if we do not find a way to speak up and help suport art and music it will become a thing of the past. It will become increasingly impossible for us, or any other artist to continue and pay all the expenses involved in releasing music. Also, support those people, magazines, clubs and radio stations and websites who do the hard work to expose underground music. If you enjoy an artists music, any artist and you have been able to enjoy it for free...find a way to give back. If this has meaning to you in our case...you can buy something...anything here...a t-shirt...a poster...a sticker even.

Tribute

Tribute

We just had a very sad experience of someone close to us taking his life...there was a lot going on for him and I guess he felt it was something that he needed to do. We loved him and we will miss him and there will be a little less light in the world. To anyone out there... life has it's ups and downs...some days are hard...life can be tough for all of us and lonely...just know that even on the toughest days...life will get better. Sad things mean time to change...do something differently. We do really care...about you and about the world in general...people need to speak up more. We had been thinking about making a thread on the forum to talk about important issues of life and the world...I think we will do just that. Come to discuss if you have something important on your mind.

Secret Website

Secret Website

We have not announced it until now and maybe you already took a peek...but we are finally ready to unveil the Secret Meeting Website.

We felt that TSM needed a whole new web world of its own. We must say that Aaron, (who also does the Collide flash site) went above and beyond and really did a spectacular job. It's fun just to go there and fly around.

Secret Reviews

Secret Reviews

You know... when you are making an album... locked in your studio for a year or so...pouring all your passion into it and basically giving it all you have and not letting it go until you feel that it is the best that you can possibly make it....then there is the moment when you finally let it go ...of wondering what others will think.

Thanks to everyone who has left messages on the The Secret Meeting MySpace etc. It always means a lot to us to hear from you.

Here are the first of the reviews coming in for The Secret Meeting. Our thanks and appreciation to the reviewers involved who took their time and energy to listen to the album and write their thoughts.

Studio News

Studio News

As you may know, we have been busy in the studio for quite some time now working on the new Collide CD, as well as working on a collaboration project with Dean Garcia who is the musical side of the band Curve. We are extremely excited to be working with Dean, as Curve is a band that we both really love. What started as just a casual guest vocal, is now turning out to be a full-fledged album!! As soon as we all decide on a name, we will put up a Myspace and include some sound samples. We will be hoping to release this CD in the very near future and it will be released on our own label Noiseplus Music.

Ritual Path

Ritual Path

This is a very special DVD project done by our good friend Fritz Heede and his visual partner John Banks. It is beautiful visual journey that has the accompanying music of the very talented Fritz Heede, who is known for his exotic stylings and use of interesting instrumentation (Fritz played sitar on "Halo" from Chasing the Ghost). The DVD includes guest vocals by kaRIN of a new song written by Fritz and kaRIN, called LightSea. It also includes a little extra something they wrote together in the special features.

The DVD is described as a journey Into the Spirit of Nature, Ritual Path offers a positive vision of our inner travels in the world. Images from sacred sites around the globe are blended, enhanced and transformed with digital tools to create an immersive visual style that has the integrity of the real world and the boundless possibilities of the imagination.

The DVD features 10 dreamlike journeys and 15 looping environments for over 2 hours of sensory bliss all in 5.1 surround.

For those of you who have been around this earth for long enough to appreciate this, you may recognize another one of the guest vocalists on this DVD which is Jon Anderson of the group supergroup YES. YES was a one of the central creators of the epic, complex terrain of sound known in the 70s as Progressive Rock. Their music pushed the experimental boundaries of sound with symphonic complexity, exceptional musicianship and vocals filled with visionary and cosmic imagery.

is a clip of LightSea..enjoy the sights and sounds.
