AD Music will be releasing a second David Wright "Best of" which is also being described as a "rarities" CD, containing some older reworked tracks, plus some music that has been released on download or for other compilations, plus some new material. This album is specifically targeting our New World Music distributors "new age" fan-base, but I'm sure em fans of my more melodic, drifting space music style will enjoy it. Here are details of the album.
1. Beneath the Surface (3:52)
Previously unreleased piano track
2. Romance '89 (5:51)
2009 re-recording of a popular track from 1989 release "Reflections".
3. Illusions (25:51)
Digital remaster of popular track from now deleted 1991 CD Between Realities.
4. Internal Reincarnation (26:27)
2011 track written with Neil "Geigertek" Fellowes. A version is available on the Bungay Bash limited edition CDr for 4th June, but this is a reworked and remixed version.
5. Depth from Motion (16:36)
Remixed version of the space music track from Sines of Life (Volume 2) download

New David Wright CD "In Search of Silence" coming soon.
Work on my new space music studio album "In Search of Silence" is coming along nicely. There have been some delays in recent months due to the distraction of the forthcoming electronic music event The Bungay Bash - rehearsals and local promotional work - plus the small matter of my heart problem. I'm also working on a Sci fi book soundtrack with US writer Matt Howarth, which I hope will be released towards the end of the year.
Back to "In Search of Silence"; this has been a fun album to do, not least because I've been rediscovering a lot of sounds from my hardware synths and relying less on the soft synths - not that there's anything wrong with the soft synths - they're still in evidence on the new album, but it is dominated by hardware synths this time round, including the Kurzweil PC3x, JP8000, JD990 and Karma Even my old 01W, 05rW and K4 had the cobwebs blown off them and used.
Musically I think this new album is a departure from recent works, I'd say that some of the music is structured in the same linear way I approached "Walking with Ghosts", but does include some improvised and drifting segments circa "Momentum".
I think it's probably fair to say that I've been less concerned about the "technical" this time during the writing and recording process and concentrated more on being spontaneous and creative. I'm pleased with the results so far and the album should be available for release end of July, beginning of August 2011. More details including tracks titles and soundbites will be available soon on the AD Music website.

Bungay Bash - Electronic Music and beer Festival update.
Full details about the Bungay Bash electronic music and beer festival are now posted on the AD Music website concert page and the AD Music blog pages. Tickets should be sent out soon to all those who have already ordered - there was apparently a delay at the Theatre getting them printed. We're all getting quite exited about it, although a lot of work still to be done. Code Indigo rehearsals start 16th May, while Callisto and solo rehearsals have already commenced.
I'll probably feature new music from "In Search of Silence" plus some old favorites from my space music catalogue on my set. We're putting a lot of emphasis and work into the lighting and graphics backdrops too. We hope to have two separate projectors with graphics on stage and on one side wall, so should be interesting.
The event is being filmed for DVD releases later in the year to fulfill a long outstanding ambition to get DVDs released for Code Indigo, Callisto, Geigertek and Me. The DVDs will feature some of the stunning high quality stage graphics we've used over the years along with concert footage and maybe even some interviews. AD Music is looking to release these towards the end of the year.

Thanks and New Music
Many thanks to all the well wishers who have contacted me recently, either via email or facebook, myspace, twitter etc concerned about my health. I'm "Okay", but I do have to go to hospital this week for tests and scans to find out what the problem is. So hopefully, in the next week or so, the Doctors will know how to solve the problem.
In the meantime, I'm actually getting on with new space music quite well, with half the new album "In search of Silence" completed. I think it's different to recent releases, probably more in line with "Walking with Ghosts" than anything I've done since that album, because the songs are much more structured. Also, I think there's a Vangelis feel in parts - not sure how that came about, it just did. But I'm very pleased with it musically so far. I'm hoping to have the album ready for the Bungay Bash.
I'm also working on a sci fi book soundtrack, written by Matt Howarth, which is in its early stages (the space music that is - the book is basically complete). The book will be on the CD as an ebook with the music. I'm hoping this will be released towards the end of the year. Not sure about the title yet......
Another project I'm working on is under the name "Trinity", a new age project of relaxation style space music. I'm working with Neil Fellowes and Nigel Tuner-Heffer on this one and we're hoping the CD will be released in 2-3 months.
More news to follow........

Schallwelle Awards 2011
Back home after a great time in Germany.
Stayed with Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and wife Dagi at their lovely "Mill" near Sonsbech. Arrived Thursday and had a very chilled time - just what the doctor ordered!
Schallwelle on the Saturday was great, nominated three times, twice for Callisto in best international album and best international artist, and I was also nominated in best international artist category. However, no awards this time round, but nice to be "in the mix" and had a really good day chatting to fans and other musicians.
Great to catch up with Robert Schroeder, amongst other, whose music I've always admired. Due to a problem with the first act not arriving until late, I was asked to perform first, and I think the set went down well - I enjoyed it and the audience wanted more, so a good sign. Played 20 minutes space music from forthcoming new solo album plus a new version of Rysheara and short space music version of Walking with Ghosts as encore.
Many thanks to everyone involved in the awards, especially those behind the scenes.
