This is a good idea. Just like in hospitals, huh ? "For all of you that want to listen some nouveau flamenco content, please follow the red color" : ) - Dan • 7/11/03; 1:59:27 PM You know, I did get some hate mail after Epic released the Euphoria CD in 1995. Well, I got hate mail from some people and then there were others who totally loved it. OK, I am dramatizing...and I can understand that some people prefer one sound over another. But I like working with different mediums. I like the oil painting as well as the pencil drawing and the photograph. I think I can make it clear with color-coding, and everybody gets what they want. If you like the "Nouveau Flamenco", follow the red brick road. If you dig "Euphoria", follow the grey road. Blue is the joker in the card deck. Last time it was a lullaby record, next time it might be something different. Style rules for blue: solo, no drums... Everybody is happy - hopefully. I get to work with different types of music and you can pick and choose easily. 6:35:53 PM    comment []; .. and will you have the same items for sale on your webside? Beginning in September, as you mentioned? - boris • 7/11/03; 1:22:47 PM We are currently hoping to have secure ordering online by the beginning of August, but no later than mid-August. All of the items will be for sale, except for the limited edition mini-CD, which is only available at concerts. If we still have some mini-CDs at the end of the tour we will sell them online, but considering how many we have sold during the first leg of the tour I don't think we will have any by the time we come home. I know there are people in other parts of the world that would like to get a limited edition CD, but I wanted to create something special for the people that come to our concerts. A special thank you for coming and making touring possible. After all, in order for us to travel and perform nightly in the hopes that music will happen we first need an audience. How about a compromise? What if we make an autographed CD option available. That way you can have a personalized CD no matter where you live. I also would love to create more special editions. Maybe items that have more outrageous packaging, or include some of my artwork, or alternate mixes or something like that. 5:25:15 PM    comment []; First complete Series: nouveaumatic will complete the first cycle I started with In the Arms of Love about a year ago. That solo recording was followed by a Luna Negra recording, The Santa Fe Sessions in February of this year and now the euphoria album nouveaumatic will feature remixes that use material from both of its predecessors. That means the next recording must either be a solo album or a Luna Negra album. I have decided to do a Luna Negra CD - on this tour we are already performing a couple of brand new songs I am planning to record this Summer... Because this may be a little confusing we are color-coding the SSRI album covers: Blue Band at the top: Ottmar Liebert - solo Red band at the top: Ottmar Liebert + Luna Negra - nouveau flamenco Grey band at the top: Ottmar Liebert's Euphoria - remixes Any questions? 2:54:09 PM    comment []; nouveaumatic Will you have the "nouveaumatic" cd for sale at concerts when you begin touring again in September? - Carolynn • 7/11/03; 12:05:19 PM We will have the following items for sale in September and October: the new nouveaumatic CD, the limited edition mini-CD 3 is 4 good luck, as well as the CDs The Santa Fe Sessions and In the Arms of Love: Lullabies 4 Children + Adults. We also have t-shirts, tour jackets and a great hat..... 2:06:51 PM    comment []; I am playing phone-tag with a man at the Apple iTunes Store who deals with the independent artists. I am hoping to make nouveaumatic available on iTunes a.s.a.p., about 2 months before its release on CD. 12:56:45 PM    comment []; Another photo from our show at the Met Theater in Spokane, WA. 12:50:22 PM    comment [];
