:: Coming December 13th - Winter Embrace III

I'm happy to announce that Winter Embrace III will be available to download in the early hours of December 13th. Ambitar Radio at StillStream.com will be the place to be at 10pm EST (Friday, December 12th) to be one of the first to hear this new release. A download link will be available in the StillStream chatroom first, and then on my site once the show is finished.

This will mark the final chapter to the Winter Embrace series. Originally I had only planned on doing two, but last year a number of people were asking when part three was coming. So I decided I would do one more for the end of 2008.

You'll find that it's similar in style and theme (especially comparing it to part one), however I've "limited" myself to using only real instruments and the human voice. There are no synths in this one. It's still ambient in style, but there are a couple symphonic outbursts that would remind you of The Grand Expanse - "Towards the Galactic Centre".
That was my first foray into teaching myself to create a more symphonic/soundtrack sound, and Winter Embrace III is my next step. I've still got a ways to go, but I'm happy with the results so far.

It's made me happy to see a lot of people really enjoy the Winter Embrace series. Thank you all for your kind comments and e-mails over the years. I truly hope you enjoy this final piece during the last days of 2008 and into 2009.

Winter Embrace III is amazing. I believe it is your best of the three. Too bad this is the last in the series, as I can only imagine how good Winter Embrace IV would be. Thanks for the music Altus. Always looking forward to your next release. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
