So after an unexpectedly long delay, I am very happy to announce that the latest album for ballet class (Pro Series 5) will finally be available from the 9th November. Either to purchase here or through the usual download and streaming services. I will soon begin work on what will probably be the last in this series (Pro 6). Hopefully it will be out sometime next year!

After a number of people expressed an interest in obtaining sheet music for my compositions, I have now invested in software that can produce scores, and I have begun to create pdfs of my music. The first few scores I have made come from the latest release Ballet Class: Pro series 5, (I will upload them next week once the album is out). In the future, I will pick previous works at random and add them gradually over the next few months (years!). I am still learning the software but once I am up and running I hope to add a new tune each week. If there are any specific tunes that you would like then please just write to me here (info@calebfawcett.com) and I will put them to the top of the list. 

In other news, I am delighted to have been part of (as composer) the dance performance Drøm - aimed at 3-8 year olds. Produced by Tiny Dancer in association with Danish Dance Theatre this show has been on tour throughout Denmark over the summer and returns to Copenhagen next February. (At Takkeloftet at the Opera House). Click either of the links for details. 

So I am happy to announce that the new album of piano improvistations, Fragments is now available here! It may be a few more days before it appears on the streaming sites but hopefully it'll be there by the beginning of next week.

The transfer of my back catalogue to Gateway Music took a little longer than expected (though of course I should have expected that!) and then there was an issue with the mastering of the new album. Spotify and Apple level match all tracks. They boost the level of quieter albums (such as Fragments) which can sometimes cause clipping (i.e. distortion), particularly on their free service. I have remastered the album to a slightly louder level to minimise this problem, without compromising on the dynamic range of the music. Of course I would encourage people to buy music, rather than streaming it from these mega corporations that don't give a shit about the artists and musicians, and pay them less than a pittance for their work. You are also guaranteed a higher quality of audio.

I can now turn my attention to the next album of music for ballet class. It will now hopefully be available in September!

I am happy to announce that all of the back catalogue has now been moved to the Danish record label, Gateway Music. They have also created a landing page for each album with links to many of the streaming sites (not just Apple and Spotify). Here they are for now, apart from Meditations which I am still waiting for. I will also add them to each album here on this website.

The transfer took a little longer than expected but I am now in the process of releasing the next album Fragments. It should be available next month.

Also both the Meditations and Lullabies albums have been remastered, and sound much better (to my ears).

Hello!

Finally a brief update on what's happening in my musical life. There's been a lot going on outside of the music, which is why it's been so long since the last newsletter,  but I have not been completely idle creatively.

I am currently moving my entire back catalogue from the US distibutor CD Baby to the Danish record label Gateway Music. A number of reasons have prompted me to do this, which I don't need to go into here. Hopefully there will be no disruption in the availability of the music, but there is a chance one or two of the albums could disappear from the streaming sites for a day or two. Or perhaps appear twice. It should be done by the end of May.

Once the back catalogue is moved, I am very happy to announce the release of a new album of piano improvisations, called Fragments. Hopefully this will be out mid June.

And in the late summer, a new album for ballet class will be released! I have been working on this for quite some time, but finally it is nearly ready.

In other news, I am enjoying playing with a new project called “Transplendent”, led by the talented singer/songwriter Sam Saylor. We will have a small tour in Denmark in August. I will post dates and venues soon.

Until then, I wish you all well!

Hello!

Just to catch up with some somewhat old news.

The album Ballet Class: Pro 1 Remastered did indeed come out a few weeks after my last post in June and is currently available here or via your favourite download store/streaming service.

I will soon begin work on another ballet class album - though I am still deciding whether to make another Pro Series or perhaps to concentrate on some music for the younger dancer. Feel free to write to me with any thoughts. (info@calebfawcett.com)

A new episode (Ep. 6) of the podcast The World We Want: Youth Voices on Climate and Health has recently dropped - this one focuses on the work of Omnia El Omrani, who has been given the role of  President Envoy on Youth for the upcoming COP 27. With governments still (!) kicking their heels with regard to policies to tackle the ever growing climate crisis, the voices of these young activists demand to be heard, more than ever.

All the best until next time
