New CD – The Musing Mana Song Project

Hi friends,

I reached a new milestone recently.  I have produced my first ever CD!  All of my work on the Musing Mana Song Project has been compiled onto CD format and is now available to order directly from my web site.    Instant Downloads!  Take It!   Share It!    Remix It!

MMSPCDcover

Dedication:

As I have talked about in my blog postings from time to time on my web site, my music and work I put into it is especially dedicated to the most vulnerable and often the least remembered in our world:  Those living with disabilities, especially autism, and to our seniors in nursing homes.  And certainly just as importantly, the caregivers who love and support all of these special people.

As I mentioned, these songs are from my very first songwriting and recording project, “The Musing Mana Songwriting Project” that was published on the Internet on this web site, between March 2008 and September 2009. In this project I produced a new song as often as possible and released it for free as a Podcast.  These songs are available here in their raw form, exactly as they were podcasted including some with my “Hey, this is Chris from Chris Hartzog.com……” introduction.

It’s got fourteen songs, you can either purchase the whole CD, buy one song at a time or buy the whole group as a zip file. There’s no DRM and it’s Creative Commons licensed. CD purchases get a real CD signed personally by me mailed directly to you.

Even though it would be really nice, cool and thoughtful of you to actually buy from me, I am equally thrilled if you take the free download and take it upon yourselves to share my music with your friends. You can remix it, use it in your videos, play it on your podcasts, heck, go ahead and include it in software and games and it give it a life of its own.

Oh, I should mention that if you choose to purchase you can rest assured that your purchase is safe and secure since it is handled through PayPal the worlds largest online payment processing company.  You can also use most major credit cards.  Just go to my Download Music page.  It’s that easy. If that doesn’t work for you, you can mail me a check or money order.

Thanks,

Chris

Music and the Brain

The AP published an interesting article recently describing the links found in the brain between music and words including the possiblity that intense therapy with music might improve speech in not only stroke patients, but in individuals with autism as well.  It’s nice to know that what my wife and I have known instinctively for years….using music to help our autistic daughter process and understand language better….is now being backed up by science.  This also adds more meaning to the work I do with music with nursing home residents, especially those experiencing memory loss such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.  Add some music and suddenly non-responsive folks start smiling, or tapping a foot or finger or sometimes even singing.

The full article published on Yahoo News, titled, “Research finds brain link for words, music ability”, can be found here:  http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100220/ap_on_sc/us_sci_words_and_music

Irish Rockerwoman 2010

It appears iTunes has a one track mind.  I noticed today that the first post I made under this “Lost in Your Arms of Love” series, which included links to two mp3’s only provides the first mp3 when you access it in iTunes.  If you go to the post in my blog, both files are there.  So I am reposting the song, “Irish Rockerwoman 2010″ today so that this will flow through to iTunes.  I guess next time if I want to include a spoken introduction along with the song, I will have to merge them into one.

Of Ringtones and Samples

We’ve not been slouching here around the Kilika Music Studios of late.  A lot of behind the scenes activity has in fact been taking place.  One interesting development, to me anyway, is that on a whim I decided to see if I could create some ringtones.  I never really cared too much for the stock ringtones that came with my Verizon phone and I thought, “gee wouldn’t it be cool if I could turn some of my songs into ringtones?”  ”Yeah, it would.” came the answer.

I have a unique sense of humor or perspective I suppose…..for some reason when I hear the word “ringtone” I think of “toe rings”….but as you can see, I don’t have any.

At long last, I set to work to figure out how to do it.  Along this journey, I discovered the nice folks at Myxer (www.myxer.com) had put a system in place to let me do exactly what I was after.  So I went [...] Continue Reading…

My Favorite Links for January 13th

These are my Favorite Links for January 13th:

The Official Carol Kaye Web Site – One of the greatest bass players of all time! Carol was the number 1 on call bassist with over 10,000 sessions. There are tons of songs we have all listened to with Carol playing the bass line. Carol is a great educator too and goes out of her way to help aspiring musicians.
Welcome to Weather Underground : Weather Underground – This is one of the most fun weather site's I have found. No frills, no nonsense….it just gives me the weather info that I want.
Apple – What can I say about this site and company? I love Apple and their products (that's coming from somebody who lives in Microsoft's back yard). Of course Microsoft changed the computing world working with an incredibly weak architecture and that's great…but Apple's stuff is just slick, easy to use and appeals to the [...] Continue Reading…
