Hi,Several of us on the forum are part of a CD compilation that's being produced called "The Aura Mystere". It has twelve parts (chapters or acts) and prior to the release of the actual CD, it looks like each week a new act will be put up on YouTube.The first section is up and is composed by our own Matto (Matt Hirt). The intro is his composition but also incorporates themes written by the rest of us in the other eleven sections.Here's the link for the first act "Act 1 - The Aura Mystere"...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTRWK0MUDxsNo one in our group would object if anyone were to go and add a glowing comment. Too bad YouTube audio is low quality but that's a YouTube thing, not the way the CD will sound. That's my shameless self-promotion for today. DavePS - When the CD is actually completed and available, I'll make sure to post the details in "Taxi Success Stories" because this is straight from a Taxi deal.

This is beautiful! I am looking forward to hearing the other sections as well. So - will this also be sold as a DVD or only CD?~ Lydia

Information is sometimes hard to come by. They keep us composers locked up in little separate rooms and just open the doors long enough to throw us some Cheerios to eat every once in a while.

Dave, thanks for posting this! I think it's going to be great. There's a number of forum members that are represented on this project and all the pieces I've heard during the process sound fantastic.Send your friends and family members on over to leave comments and listen!BTW: How come you got Cheerios? I didn't get any!!Cheers!Mazz

Wow! I watched the first chapter. Very impressive work. Looking forward to rest of the work. And who are all of the composers involved?Steve

Act 4 - "When Secrets Unveil"Mazz (John Mazzei) Act 8 - "New Souls And Old"Winston might have also contributed to Act 8... have to ask Mazz about that. Each time a new act is posted on YouTube, one of us will post a "Shameless Self Promotion" and give a little info (or what we know) about the track. When the whole thing is done, CD is available, etc, somebody will post the scoop in the "Taxi Deals" section or whatever its called.

Hi,Aura Mystere - Act 2 is up. Acts 2 through 12 will be snippets only not the full versions, but enough to easily get the sense of the projectAct 2 features the forum's own Chris Ball (ChrisB). You can view and leave comments here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS529J4OwK0Enjoy!Dave

The imagery is so beautiful!! I especially loved the second part with the floating atmospheric flute. But what happened at the end? When the song went groovy it ended abruptly..Longer..it needs to be way longer..GREAT work!
