I’m very happy to announce that individual source tracks from Emergence are now available for download on ccMixter. The source tracks include uncompressed instrumental stems and vocal a cappellas from our album — about 2GB worth of material in all.
The source audio is free to use and available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license.
We can’t wait to hear what you talented folks do with our stuff. I hope you’ll upload whatever you create to the ccMixter site — it’s a great place to share your work. You can register here if you’re not a member already. Either way, please send us links to wherever your creations live so we can see them!
Happy remixing. And a huge thank you to Victor, Teru, and spinmeister at ccMixter for coordinating this and helping us share these tracks. You guys rock.
We just uploaded Emergence to Amie Street. It’s a new-ish music site based on a pretty cool idea: track prices vary depending on how popular they are. All new songs start out free and rise in price as more people buy them, up to 98 cents.
So if you’re an Amie Street user or want to explore the site, check out our profile, link to us, download the album and help us climb the Amie Street charts!
Brian will be at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami this coming Friday, playing guitar for BT’s set. So if you’re in the crowd that day, make sure to yell out his name and say hi. And if you happen to take any pictures of Brian on stage, please send them our way!
The good folks at SEEN (part of RCRD LBL) wrote a nice feature about Trifonic today. They’ve included a free download of our track “Vacuum Tree” too. Please go check out the post… and share it with your friends!
So, from now on when you purchase a download of Emergence from the trifonic.com store, we’ll send 2 of your friends a link where they can download the album for FREE! You will immediately become their favorite person, guaranteed. Go give it a try.
If you haven’t heard, all purchases from the trifonic.com store (download or CD) include our bonus producer’s commentary, where we discuss the recording and production process for each track on Emergence.
Here’s a brief clip where Brian talks about the title track, “Emergence”:
For those of you interested in Music 2.0 and music business in general, I’m writing for the group blog Music Think Tank which just launched yesterday. I’m really excited and honored to be part of this project that includes a great cast of thought leaders in the world of online music. Please go check it out when you have a moment!
Now don’t get me wrong: trifonic.com is where we want you. There’s no better way to keep up with the latest Trifonic news and announcements than to subscribe to our blog’s RSS feed or by email. (Hint hint.)
But there are plenty of other places where we’d love to see you.
We’re happy to report that Emergence is officially out and waiting for you in the following places:
