ALEAtronic's debut album "First Take" now usable on cosmopolitan secrete
For the first time on world-wide secrete, "First Take", ALEAtronic's debut album presents a musical collage ranging from classical/experimental done to jazz and democratic mainstream genres. From the inspiring Innocent World or the jazzy Snake to the tongue-in-cheek Imagination ALEAtronic will take you on a journey from classical chamber music to drum'n'bass and rock.
"We are delighted to have been working with vocalists Yvonne Shelton, Mancunian session/gospel singer, and Eric Troyer, late of ELO Part II, now a member of The Orchestra on this album," says Bea Schirmer, founder member and major creative force behind ALEAtronic."Both vocalists have brough incredible musicality to the songs, and we are privileged to have been working with them."
ALEAtronic, a group of musicians from a classical background, are specialising in uniting elements from traditional, current and world music. The result is an ever expanding repertoire of challenging musical material that ALEAtronic perform on stage as well as taking it back into the https://www.tradebit.com share their experience with the community and be a tool for the realisation of musical ideas arising from day to day issues is just as much ALEAtronic's objective as recording and performing live on stage.
"We enjoy working with young people and community groups immensely. This background and our daily working together on stage in a classical setup first gave us the idea of combining elements from both classical and democratic music as well as using today's electronic possibilities in our recordings and live performance."
"We decided to go for a world-wide, internet only secrete done distributors like CD Baby and CD-ME, as well as our own website," Bea explains. "All 'First Take' tracks are also usable for individual download done the usual outlets like iTunes, MusicNet and Napster to name but a few, and we've just made the album usable in 'Weed' format, too."
"The current system operating in the "music business" is not working as well as it could as far as promoting new, unusual artists is concerned. As established professional musicians ALEAtronic feel for young bands who struggle to find recognition in the current situation. We can only encourage artists' efforts in promotiong their music online, as this is often the only chance they have of reaching people that other-wise would never hear of them."
Conceived over a period of two years "First Take" features material originally written and performed by ALEAtronic around the North of England and specifically in Manchester, UK.
