Melissa Trinchere - Explore Seasons

You can now purchase a hard copy, or download the full album of "Seasons" special edition. Remember, it comes with 2 bonus tracks and a handwritten fold-out lyric booklet. Instead of the cardboard wallet sleeve, this one has 4 panel cardboard packaging with a fold-out lyric booklet.


You can get that here:

"Seasons" is all out there and waiting to be enjoyed...until the next record!
Peace, Love and Music.

Last week I ordered the special edition version of "Seasons"...well part of it anyways. Now I just have to lovingly create the handwritten booklet (with extra artwork) - then it will be ready to buy (or sent out to the lovely people who pre-ordered it!). You still have a chance to pre-order the special version. Just click on the pre-order section and choose the basic or donation package. Once it's on Cdbaby it will be more expensive and you won't get a free poster or postcard! And remember, when you pre-order, you can ask me to sign it for ya!


I'll announce when it's available on iTunes and Cdbaby.
Have a great rest of the summer!

This is an exciting day! The hard copy of "Seasons" (Standard Edition) is finally available on Cdbaby.com! Click here to get it for $14.00 (less shipping & handling)! So, unfortunately the pre-order for the standard edition is no longer available...but you can still pre-order the special edition version here! And please do! It will help me get the CD made!


Thanks for all the support so far. I'm amped up and ready to begin the pre-recording process for my next album! But "Seasons" still has a ways to go. I'll be a doing a little tour (then hopefully a medium sized one after that) to promote it more and we gotta get the special edition made and available for sale online and at the shows!


Stay tuned for more news!

Whew! I just ordered the first run of the standard version of "Seasons" today...so that's finally done! Now I have to get help for the special edition version. I'm still VERY interested and excited about house concerts. Please contact me if you want to know more info about hosting one. 
Here's a document full of info about them!

But I'll let you all know as soon as I get the special edition version on cdbaby/iTunes for you to download!

Happy Springtime everyone!!!

So, now the newest album "Seasons" is available on iTunes and you can still pre-order of course. I've been having a really rough time raising the rest of the money to get the album made in physical form. Just ONE house concert (with a good turn-out) will get it made! That's it! Just one. But there are no takers so far. I have also been unable to put up the Special Edition version of "Seasons" (with bonus tracks "Love & Money" and "Edith") on the web as a digital download. That will be happening not too far in the future, hopefully. I am not going to throw out an estimated date this time, since last time I said January. 

For now you can listen to, and download the album freely. I hope 2010 is going well for all of you!

So, right now you can download the full album for $9.99 on cdbaby.com.
You can still pre-order the album (Please do!) but I've taken off the free full album download for the time being...sorry. I still need help getting the CD manufactured. I think I'm going to go with CD-Rs for the first run. I just can't afford Replicated discs at this time. I'm about halfway there (thanks to a fantastic fan of mine!!!), so PLEASE consider hosting a house concert! That will get me the rest of the way there for sure.

Well, Happy Holidays everyone! I'll have the Special Edition (with 2 bonus tracks) up on Cdbaby for download soon, probably sometime in January. I'm trying to cook up a lot of cool stuff. Stay tuned!

So, the album is mastered and I've put up a lot of the songs on the web (MySpace, here, soon to be on my Facebook page and my official website). So far you can hear, "Cold Feet", "She Gets What She Wants", "Sligo Town", "Slow and Broken", "Dreams", "Feel" and...am I forgetting something? Eh, well that's 6 songs already, more than half the album! So now it's a waiting game...when I raise enough money to get the album replicated, you'll be able to buy it in CD form. Right now, all you can do is PRE-ORDER!!!! You'll get an immediate digital download of the album AND a CD (and if you choose, extra goodies!) will be shipped out to you when they are made.
Pretty soon the album will be available for purchase on the net on Cdbaby.com, iTunes, etc. I'll let you all know when that happens! Enjoy the music, pre-order the album, host a house concert! :-)

So, we did all our little tweaks and I ACTUALLY have THE FINAL mix in my hands and I'm sending it off to the Mastering house, as I type (sort of). I'm having a party this Friday, whether it's finished or not...but I bet it will be!
*sigh* This has been a long journey...and it's not over yet! I still need help with getting the replicated discs for the regular version, and the special edition. The first release will be digital only, until I raise the money to get all the discs and packaging. So, remember...if you want to host a house concert for me, or you want to order a pre-order package (With every pre-order package you get a FREE Digital album download!) you'll be helping out SO much. Anyways. You'll hear from me again after it's mastered and uploaded to Cdbaby.com.

There will be no remix of "Christmas On The Emerald Isle" on the special edition album version. I guess it didn't pan out as expected - but it may show up on a later release. Who knows?
Right now I'm working out a snag on the final mix of 'Seasons' and I'm expecting to hand it off to the mastering studio tomorrow! Yeah, I'm pretty excited.

That's right. No viola on the album. Instead, I will be putting the finishing touches (string sounds) on just 2 songs tonight. Hopefully.
I'm seriously disappointed, of course. Waited all this time for nothing.
Oh well. I'm handing over the final mix of the album to be mastered this weekend. It's looking like a Wednesday or Thursday finish.

Melissa
