<p>Hey guys! Man, I've been slammed with work for a while now! Never hav time to update things on here. Some updates now though:</p><p>I just finished up another film score for a feature titled "Shadow Puppets". Its about an underground drug and terror organization made up entirely of cute puppets Sesame Street style. The director wanted Sasame Street meets Alfred Hitchcock for the score which wasn't easy in the slightest to pull off. It was definitely a learning experience thats for sure!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My next big project will most likely be a feature length film titled "Pulse of the Indigo" which I am <em>very</em> excited about. I have become an exec producor on that movie (I'm helping fund the thing) and it's looking very promising so far. We are wrapping up casting at the moment and are about to dive into location scouting. We've already had a few people read the script and a guy in New York City already wants to offer up distribution rights upon completion. The reason I'm excited about this though is this might be my first project where my work will be performed by an actual 30 piece orchestra (with yours truly conducting). It all depends on the money. Let me tell you though that if that does indeed happen, it will truly be a dream come true for me. Wish us luck!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I've also been approached for a few side things here and there that are kind of in limbo right now (like a series of webisodes that will be a musical) so who knows with that stuff.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway it's getting late and tomorrow is a new day. I hope everyone like the new piece I uploaded tonight and hopefully it won't be another 4 months before I can get back on here!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regards,</p><p>Adric</p>

<p class="paragraph_style_10" style="padding-top: 0pt;">Album Title: Alone On The Sun</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Artist: Shouse</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Reviewers Name: Matheson Kamin</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Rating:&nbsp; 5 stars (out of 5)</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Title of Review: Band creates the complete package with the debut release.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">&nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Review:</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Michael Shouse is a Kentucky-based guitarist who has been influenced and inspired by the likes of Vai, Satriani and Belew, among other instrumental rock guitarists. After taking notes from the guitarists who preceded him, Shouse now has the knowledge and ability to teach his predecessors a thing or two about guitar playing (when he isn&rsquo;t actually busy teaching the next wave of guitarists to play). &nbsp;</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">&nbsp;Just recently, Michael Shouse went into the studio and recorded his newest mostly- instrumental rock album. The newest release from Shouse is entitled Alone On the Sun. Like most rock guitarists who spend their time creating rock instrumental albums, Shouse creates his music by incorporating, not only rock, but also other genres into the songs, as well. The first track of Alone On the Sun, &ldquo;Bionic&rdquo; (along with containing a clever parody of The Six-Million Dollar um&hellip;&hellip;.. Guitarist, as the intro), includes a few hints of heavy metal, as does &ldquo;Shock And Awe&rdquo;. And the songs &ldquo;You Can Fly&rdquo; and &ldquo;For Alex&rdquo; have a jazz-like vibe to them.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">In the process of recording the tracks for Alone On the Sun, Shouse enlisted a group of eleven musicians to help create the release. Together, Mike, the three drummers, and eight bassists would combine together to create twelve unique trios (containing guitar, bass and drums), one for each track on the album. Having one unique musical outfit for each song ensured that each track would have its own unique sound and personality. This also guaranteed that each song would sound fresh, since no three musicians created more than one song on the album as a group.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">While eighty percent of the album is instrumental, there are two tracks that feature vocals. For those tracks, Gene Booth joins Shouse on vocals. Booth provides the vocals for the power ballad &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t Remember Me,&rdquo; and on the song &ldquo;Man of Constant Sorrow,&rdquo; the song most recently recognized from the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">With Shouse having grown up in Kentucky, it seemed only natural to have included just a little bluegrass flavoring to the album; although, with the arrangement of the song &ldquo;Man of Constant Sorrow,&rdquo; you&rsquo;d hardly recognize the song as being a tune that has been recorded and performed by many bluegrass artists over the years. Shouse not only is a very good musician, but this track also proves he has the skills as an arranger, as well.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Shouse recorded the vast majority of Alone On the Sun while he was using an electric guitar. There are, however, a few quickly passing hints on the release where the guitarist shows his playing ability and technique on the acoustic guitar. You can hear all-too-few bars where the acoustic carries the momentum on &ldquo;You Can Fly&rdquo;. With &ldquo;Man of Constant Sorrow,&rdquo; the first ninety seconds of the song feature the acoustic as it creates the familiar structure to the bluegrass standard before Shouse changes the feeling of the song by adding the electric guitar to the mix.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">The guitar is Michael Shouse&rsquo;s instrument of choice. So, Alone On the Sun was created in a way to showcase Shouse&rsquo;s strengths as a guitarist. However, there are some instances where you can also hear Shouse adding a few embellishments to the music by playing the keyboard on part of the title track. Although the brief time the keyboard is part of the mix, you can tell that Shouse is a multi-talented musician.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">If the impressive body of music that makes up the album of Alone On the Sun by Shouse isn&rsquo;t enough for you, the extras included as part of the CD-Rom part of the package should make the album worth checking out. As part of the computer side of the release, you get the video for the title track to the album, and you also get the charts to learn to play the songs that are included in the release. The tablature for the disc is almost like having one-on-one sessions with Michael Shouse himself.</p> <p class="paragraph_style_10">Hard rock heavy metal, jazz, and even hints of bluegrass all help to help Michael Shouse to create a varied and entertaining new release. If rock guitarists make up a large part of your music collection (or even if they don&rsquo;t), Alone On the Sun by Shouse is definitely worthy to be added into that collection.</p> <p>Review by Matheson Kamin, Ariel Publicity&nbsp;&nbsp; -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (www.reviewyou.com)</p>

This band has some very catchy tunes with amazing hooks. Their music is fresh and in my personal opinion, some of the best music I have heard on the internet. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why do I think it is some of the best? Because I have always felt that a great tune leaves you wanting more and is memorable enough that you hear it in your head all day long. Do you remember the first time you heard Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, Photograph by Def Leppard, Drops of Jupiter by Train or anything by the Beatles? These songs simply had staying power. There was something in these songs that always stood out that made it memorable. The <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/The_Maudlin_Hounds/">Maudlin Hounds</a> write music much in the same way. There is something that sticks out in their music that makes you take notice. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Congratulations you guys, you deserve it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed&nbsp;</span></p>
