New album to be released by April, 2012

There will be a new album released by April, 2012 with original compositions and exclusive recording production by Kevan Paul. The emphasis is on electric-violin in various fusion styles overlay-ed across a background of jazz-rock, smooth-jazz, and ambient electronic styles. The album will be initially available through Google Play, but will try to get published on iTunes, etc. as the project progresses. At least half of the songs will be added to the YouTube channel (2010media) to experiment with other visual elements and related ideas for the compositions. A more detailed description of the songs will be added to this web page. The name of the album is "Passing Through The Portal" which is also the name of track 4 of the album. The intent of the album is to continue the exploration of using electric-violin in fusion styles, especially where synthesizer sounds can be added and invented. The intent is to go beyond the dance-beat influences and provide an interesting sound-scape to overlay melodic violin to blend into an interesting ambient quality of sound. There are obvious influences from classical, new-age, jazz-rock fusion, and smooth-jazz that tend towards allowing the violin to create effortless melodies. This is the foundation for this album.
