New website!
Welcome to Eidolon.se! I’m very happy to present the new Eidolon website. Special thanks go out to my friends, Tapani Rauha and Sami Vesamo for their support and for helping with this.
We are launching multiple websites today! We have new versions of www.eidolon.se, www.andreasaleman.com, and www.brianhobbsmusic.com. Please check them all out!
Exciting new things are happening. Andreas Aleman’s debut album, THIS IS LIFE, was released earlier this year to excellent reviews and his shows at Fasching have proven that he is an artist you should keep your eye on… next stop the US and other markets. We’re currently writing songs for his second album, which is scheduled to be released sometime in 2010.
Eidolon is now also cooperating with the site www.nordicwellbeing.com where I’m providing seasonal music depicting the beauty of the Nordic region. Please listen to my new piece, Autumn Dreams there. I also have a new column there where I will be featuring new (and old) CDs by Nordic artists. Please check it out!
New albums are also underway with Mia Löfgren and Monica Silverstrand.
Another exciting piece of news is Eidolon’s move into audio post-production in cooperation with Marcus Black of Detona Music. Through our cooperation and expertise we will be able to supply clients with the highest quality audio post-production work including mixing, editing, voiceovers and original background music/songs for commercials, documentaries, instructional videos and any type of media presentation.
As always, personally I’m involved in many different projects. For more information about all that please visit: www.brianhobbsmusic.com
Also, please take a look at the media player to the right where I’m featuring songs that I and Eidolon have been involved in as a writer or producer. You can find some of those featured songs on albums in our STORE.
Thanks for visiting the site and I hope you’ll come back often. I apologize for not updating the old site as often as I’d have liked to, but thanks to this new platform and technology I plan to be more active in keeping you updated.
