   Just received a nice email via my Hubpages account from a musician I write about. I'm sure you probably don't know the artist, but he is a pretty big deal as far as modern composers. Here is a sample from the email I thought I would share.  John Kaada (bozo@kaada.no)
   has sent you this message.
   (email address not verified)
   
   
   Hey and thanks for a good article! - I'm releasing a new album two months from now - would you be interested in checking it out?
   
   all the best, Kaada
   
   
   
   copying in the press-release :
   
   "The titles are quotes and fragments from different farewell utterances... things that people said when they were about to die." - Kaada
   
   Diverse and prolific Norwegian composer and multi-instrumentalist Kaada (aka John Erik Kaada, pronounced CODA) has a career spans a string of critically acclaimed solo albums, major motion picture scores, high-profile collaborations with key players such as Mike Patton (Fantômas, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle), as well as numerous live appearances at home and abroad.
   
   Kaada's new album Closing Statements is set for a May 25th release on Mirakel Recordings, and it's a visceral fifty minutes of new music composed and recorded over twelve-month period, and centered around the subject of death. The spiraling arrangements feature Kaada's deft layering of piano, keyboards, cinematic guitars, electronics, although the distinction between the organic and electronic are intentionally blurred. "Sometimes I’ve tried to make the acoustic sound electrified and effectuated, and sometimes I’ve tried to make the electrified sound organic. Listening will hopefully be like an ever folding reveal," Kaada says.

   I'm in the club too, Jesse. Got some props yesterday from a metal band whose CD I recently reviewed (Lucifer's Hammer) - they posted a link to my article and thanked me for my "sincere words" in English and Spanish (they're from Chile) on their official Facebook page.
