Squeeeeal!
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: E.S. Posthumus

Squeeal?

That's the sound of a Josh Groban fan containing excitement at the newest CD release.  And it's full of Christmas songs! Christmas done come early this year. Made a special trip to THE MALL just to buy it on its official release date.

The CD is lounging on my writing desk, in its pristine shrinkwrap, like a box of Godiva chocolates...taunting me. I know if I open it I will not/can not contain myself and want to engorge myself with the whole box, all in one sitting. Take a deep breath. The feeling will pass. 

Back to "now playing". My umhhum birthday just passed, and I received the latest (and only) CD by E.S. Posthumus.

I know, the group's name sounds morbid, but the "E.S" stands for "Experimental Sounds".   The album is "Unearthed", which again, falls into a death theme. But again, a ruse. Each of the songs is named after an ancient city: Pompeii, Ninevah, Ebla, Menouthis,  Nara (which you'll recognize as the theme song for the TV series "Cold Case").  

Genre? I call it movie trailer music, or classical/rock, in the vein of The Trans Siberian Orchestra.  It's been classified as world music or electronica. Primitive, punctuated rhythms, layered orchestral. Give it a taste.

I just finished another youtube video. I've learned a lot over these past months. Technically, I'm still experimenting, and improving in small steps. To break from my current fixation, I may embark on a C. youtube project, for the fans.  If I hear some show of support, it will encourage me to do so. Otherwise...not! It's your call, kiddies. 

ciao,
