News From Jennifer Haines

Hi Everyone!

I'm pleased to announce the release of my latest CD "Thoughts and Dreams". This CD is my tribute to imagination and creativity. After two years spent working with Christmas carols it was delightful to be composing again. I spent every spare moment I had writing, playing and just enjoying the creative process. Each song is a moment or feeling or thought that has been set to music. The liner notes include a brief story about the origin of each piece and also an original poem ("Aspen") that I wrote while I was dreaming one night. If you'd like to purchase a copy please visit http://www.cdbaby.com/jhaines4.

There is one selection of sheet music from this album available as well. The song is "Thoughts and Dreams" and it may be purchased at http://www.usfourmusic.com/music2.html.

May 9th Update from Matthew Tavis Johnson

Hi everybody! My new album "Walk With Me" was released recently, and I wanted to let the Wisperings community know!

A little bit about 'Walk With Me' released April 23, 2007…

A new CD, entitled "Walk With Me", is out!! Sorry for the delay but yes, I have finally released my 2^nd album!! Most of the songs were written over the past year to two years; it is a collage of friend and fan favorites. It has a variety of emotions within it, from the emotional "Natsuki's Song" to the fun and intense "Black Key Trilogy!" Check it out, you are sure to enjoy it! Feel free to write me anytime with questions!

My website and free sheet music…

As many of you may have already seen, I now have an 'official' website at http://www.matthewtavisjohnson.com/. I haven't updated it much yet, but plan to update it more and more as time goes on. If you play piano or know someone who does, feel free to download the "A Glimpse at Happiness" sheet music from the "Sheet Music" page on my website. Starting Monday, it will be taken off 'free' status again, so download it while you can! J I have been getting a lot of requests for various sheet music – which is awesome! Please be patient on that end: I am working hard to get more sheet music made and released. The next sheet music will be for the song "Bem's Theme" which I plan to have ready within 2-3 months.

Future plans…

I went into the studio and recorded a new album called "The Light CD" which is actually half of a project, the other have (as you may have guessed!) Will be called "The Dark CD." I'm really excited for this to release because I think it is my best work yet! The Light CD will focus more on happy songs primarily a major key, and the Dark CD will focus on intense/sad songs in a Minor key. There isn't an estimated delivery date on this product yet, but there will be one soon, and I will keep everyone posted on that with all of the details etc. I am now doing home concerts as well, so if you are interested and in the Oregon/Washington area please contact me and I can send over the appropriate details. They will eventually be up on my website as well.

Closing….

Thank you so much everyone for reading through this and supporting me, I can't explain how much it means to me. As I mentioned earlier, if you ever have any questions/comments/ANYTHING don't feel hesitant to contact me about it, I always love hearing from you guys!

Solomon Keal's Music Newsletter, May 2007

Hello everybody,

Welcome to the May edition of my Music Newsletter.

In case you didn't get my newsletter last month, I'm happy to announce that I have a new website which you can view at the same address: http://www.SolomonKeal.com.  And I also have my first piece of sheet music available, which you can purchase and download by going here: http://www.lulu.com/solomonkeal.  

The first piece of sheet music that I have available is for the piece entitled "Star Gazing" from the album "Thoughts and Affections."  I am currently working on notating the sheet music for the piece entitled "Surrender" from my new album "Peace of Heaven."  I will let you know when that becomes available.

Please let me know if you have requests for any of my compositions you would like to see in sheet music form.  I will start assembling a Request List, and I will notate my music on a first-come-first-serve basis.

I've had a very busy winter and early spring with many enjoyable "for hire" studio projects.  Starting this month I will begin recording a Flute and Piano album with my sister Roxanne.

Have a great day!

Sincerely yours,

- Solomon Keal

SPREAD JOY NEWS

Mike's song "Spread Joy" is being animated by the talented Dustin
Haynes. I don't know when it will be done but I will keep you
up-dated. The story of the song has come alive with Dustin's clever
animations. The drawing you see in the Free Ringtone offer box above
features the MC (Main Character) of the animation. He looks a bit
like Mike, right? Here's a couple more screen shots of the
animation:

Meanwhile, Mike is re-recording the song and adding vocal harmonies,
a gospel choir and more dog barks. To see some of Dustin's other
amazing work click HERE
