<p>I guess it's time to start the shameless self-promotion drive - pushing those stocking stuffer jazz CDs...here's a new one we just released on Dreambox Media with Joe Hunt (dr) and Steve Meashey (bass) from a concert in Carlisle PA.. Jim Easton of Abbeyville Road did the recording and mastering - http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/steverudolph6 Available from CDBaby, Amazon and itunes.... Thank You!</p>
<p>Good day music lovers. I am proud to announce the completion of my latest project entitled “Let Your Mind Fly.” It’s a smooth mix of Jazz, Latin Jazz, Smooth Jazz and Pop. Performing with Victor are some great names in indie music. On guitars are Jake Merritt and the very talented and well known Arnell Byrd. On vocals we have Oscar E. Contreras and Gerry Cruz. “Let Your Mind Fly” is a 2 disc set with a remix of some songs in a Spanish version. Also I’m proud to have a special guest on this project, the world renowned Artist Alfredo Arrequín who’s artwork appears on the CD and 2disc.</p><p>Mp3’s will be available for streaming and listening soon. The scheduled release date is 12-15-2011 and will be available at <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/">www.cdbaby.com</a> if you wish a physical CD and on many music sites for downloads</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was noticing this issue on my pc so I thought I would post a fix that worked for me. We have always tried to make Mixposure work in all browsers. The biggest one we have issues with has been Internet Explorer. All others seem to work fine. I typically use firefox on my pc or safari and firefox on my Mac so I kind of missed this bug. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My flash player on here was flickering and I could not use IE on CNN or Foxnews for video. Even the ads were flickering. I started researching and found out there is some kind of bug with either Flash or Internet Explorer and there are complaints all over the place. Hopefully they will get it resolved soon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I did find a post out there for a fix if anyone is experiencing the same issue. Just open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Click Advanced and you will see Use Software Rendering instead of GPU. Click that and restart your browser. I no longer have the **** and the players appear correctly. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p><p> </p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hey Everyone!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just a heads up on a new Flash Player we added. There are still a few bugs to work out in it but I think it is stable enough to let everyone know about it. It is called iAudio and can be found in your Artist > Modify Artist > "Choose the Player to appear on your Page". If you put your mouse on the bottom of the player, a small popup will appear. You can then mouse over each of the objects to see what they do. Give it about 5 seconds to appear. The time on the prevents a popup appearing every time you move your mouse around on it. The envelope will most likely be the most used since it has the sharing ability with social media sites.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">With this player, you will not be able to customize the colors in the control panel. You can however change many of the colors on the embed code for your site. We have the ability to create multiple versions though and I hope to be putting some together soon. There is a slight bug with that at the moment that sould be resolved shortly. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We also changed the default popup player to a new player. It also has the same sharing capabilities. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So take a look and let me know what bugs you see. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p><p><object width="560" height="370" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="yes"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashvars" value="jamroom_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&system_name=Mixposure.com&playlist_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.mixposure.com%2Fplay.php%3Fmode%3Dsong_hifi%26band_id%3D10%26song_id%3Dall%26format%3Diaud%26type%3Dxspf&vault_mode=no&skin_id=2&skin_name=Black Ruby&bodyStyle=ridge&bodyColor=0x000000&bodyText=0xffffff&buttonStyle=glass&buttonColor=0xffffff&buttonHover=0xf9f9f9&buttonActive=0x770000&buttonTextColor=0x220000&buttonTextHover=0x440000&buttonTextActive=0xffffff&element=0x330000&elementHover=0x220000&elementActive=0xFFFFFF&trackOdd=0xffffff&trackEven=0xf3f3f3&trackActive=0x220000&textColor=0x252525&textHover=0xffffff&textActive=0xffffff&borders=0x996666"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www2.mixposure.com/modules/iAudio/players/large.swf"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed width="560" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www2.mixposure.com/modules/iAudio/players/large.swf" allowfullscreen="yes" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="jamroom_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&system_name=Mixposure.com&playlist_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.mixposure.com%2Fplay.php%3Fmode%3Dsong_hifi%26band_id%3D10%26song_id%3Dall%26format%3Diaud%26type%3Dxspf&vault_mode=no&skin_id=2&skin_name=Black Ruby&bodyStyle=ridge&bodyColor=0x000000&bodyText=0xffffff&buttonStyle=glass&buttonColor=0xffffff&buttonHover=0xf9f9f9&buttonActive=0x770000&buttonTextColor=0x220000&buttonTextHover=0x440000&buttonTextActive=0xffffff&element=0x330000&elementHover=0x220000&elementActive=0xFFFFFF&trackOdd=0xffffff&trackEven=0xf3f3f3&trackActive=0x220000&textColor=0x252525&textHover=0xffffff&textActive=0xffffff&borders=0x996666" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed> </object></p>

<p>As a follow-up to his previous highly successful world-wide solo CD release, <em>Öfkem ve Ben</em>, internationally renowned guitarist, composer, songwriter and singer Demir Demirkan releases his latest instrumental single, <em>The Other Within</em>. Istanbul based Demirkan is one of a handful of guitarists in the world today that can legitimately lay claim to the often over-used and hyperbolic designation ‘guitar hero.’ Yet, contrary to many that have received this kind of high praise, Demirkan has the goods in abundance to back it up. His emotionally driven improvisational prowess and technical virtuosity are outstanding in their conception and execution and this is amply demonstrated on his new single, <strong><em>The Other Within</em></strong>.</p><p> </p><p><em>“Demirkan's . . . superb guitar skills are . . . extraordinary . . .”</em>—<strong>Dave Thompson, <em>All Music Guide</em></strong><em> </em></p><p> </p><p>Featured on <em>The Other Within</em> is an array of Demirkan’s many formidable ‘hats.’ Not only is this an original composition on which he plays outstanding and compelling electric and acoustic guitar, but much like a classical electronic composer he plays and/or programs all the other instruments on the cut, as well as functions as producer and arranger in a fascinating individual display of his many diverse talents.</p><p> </p><p>Upon completing his studies in English Literature and Humanities in Ankara, Demir Demirkan moved to Los Angeles and studied at the world-renowned Musician’s Institute. Returning to Istanbul in 1996, and mainly concentrating on electric guitar, he also produced, wrote songs, composed for orchestras and film while pursuing his singer/songwriter/guitarist albums and stage-work. Apart from his solo career, he formed the band Painted on Water. Demirkan recorded the self-titled successful debut album <em>Painted On Water</em>, collaborating with musicians such as Dave Weckl, Trilok Gurtu, Alan Pasqua, Al Dimeola and Kai Eckhart. He tours with Painted On Water in the U.S. and Europe and plans for the near future to concentrate on guitar and instrumental composing and performance, while also pursuing his band Painted On Water.</p><p> </p><p><em>“. . . Demir Demirkan gave the intimate and enthused audience at Le Poisson Rouge [in New York City] an amazing performance . . .”</em>—<strong><em>Turka Magazine</em></strong></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>The Other Within</em></strong> is a multi-layered palate of alluring, fresh sounds with an infectious sensibility. At the same time, it is a brilliant preview of what Demir Demirkan is capable of in-person. Putting on <em>The Other Within</em> at a high-powered social gathering or party is a sure bet, but seeing this talented, innovative performer live really brings home just how unique and engaging Demirkan is. </p><p> </p><p><strong>For information contact: </strong>Janet Castiel, Redwood Entertainment, Inc., 212 543-9998 </p><p> <a href="mailto:info@redwoodentertianment.com">info@redwoodentertianment.com</a>, <a href="http://www.redwoodentertainment.com">www.redwoodentertainment.com</a></p><p align="center"> </p>
