I am very pleased to announce that the second Hoyland album "Upon the Mountain Vastlands" is finally out and available NOW! The brand new album features 9 tracks of ethereal ambient/neo-classical dreamscapes and comes in a great looking digi-pack CD.

I can FINALLY say that "The Calling Whisper" is out now. Head on over to CDBaby and check it out. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer this time around. Here's the link: http://cdbaby.com/cd/transcendwithtime2

BTW, Rick at Astreaux World was also kind enough to conduct an interview with me. So head on over to www.astreauxworld.com and check it out.

This album is so special for me personally, it took over 2 years to finally release it. Anyway, I hope you all like it.

Greetings all,

I'm looking to license a "macro" nature photo for the front cover of my trio album Pastimes of Creation, which I hope to release by spring.

This community is full of good work in this mode. See Steve Brand, Chris Russell and JKN for some terrific examples.

Please email me your links, and thanks in advance!

I just want to let You know that my last larger project Endless Mind Portal, first released as a free download on the forum of the EM Portal in August 2011 (as some of You might remember...) now is available from my BandCamp page, in the usual variety of audio formats, including CD quality FLAC files. Larger project means about three and a half hours of music, by the way...



If You're interested, there's a friendly and generous review of this project by Bert Strolenberg on his excellent review page Sonic Immersion:

Actor Dick Tufeld, who voiced the Robot on the 1960s sci-fi series Lost In Space, died January 22 at age 85 while watching the NFL playoffs. You may not know his name, but Tufeld created two of TV's most enduring pop culture catch phrases — "Danger, Will Robinson, danger" and "That does not compute." In 2004, TV Guide Magazine caught up with Tufeld, who was still doing voice-over work. He had recently recovered from a paralyzed vocal chord, which kept him from speaking above a whisper until a rare operation returned his familiar voice.
