FACEBOOK LISTENING PARTY: Visit my Fan Page on August 15th from 7 pm-2 am eastern to hear “Sacred Love.” That’s where I’ll announce where fans and friends can buy the CD in advance of the actual release. Join the Fan Page.

The CD is being released officially on August 27th in New York.

YOUTUBE ROCKS: We’ve hit 1.6 million impressions on YouTube for my video series, “The Making of Sacred Love,” with 9,500 video views. This is a pretty cool since the CD is still several weeks from launch. There are 25 webisodes in “The Making of Sacred Love” series at YouTube.com/ShambhuMusic. And the 8-page “Guide to Sacred Love” which accompanies the physical version of the CD, lists the various Webisodes so you can watch each song in the process of creation.

I’M A TAYLOR GUITAR ARTIST
I am playing and endorsing Taylor Guitars and it’s a honor. I played a GS-6 acoustic on the CD and just picked up an 816-CE acoustic/electric for live performances. Watch the Taylor Guitars video to see the new instrument.

NEW YORK LISTENING PARTIES - I am in New York August 18-30 doing listening parties at homes and yoga centers. Bring together 20 friends and I’ll come over and conduct a listening party for the CD. I’ll even play a few tunes live. Write me at shambhu@shambhumusic.com and I’ll coordinate with you.

Thanks so much for your support. I hope to see you soon!

The music production process can be incredibly complex for independent musical artists.

Now music creators can check out the ShambhuMusic Channel on YouTube for a look into the writing, recording, mixing, mastering, CD design and promotion processes for Shambhu’s debut CD, “Sacred Love.” The videos cover all elements of the production challenges that indie artists face in creating and publishing music.

“Sacred Love,” by acclaimed guitarist and composer Shambhu, features gorgeous songs, profound performances and superior sound production that left me breathlessly satisfied.

This debut by Shambhu features an all-star cast of musicians, including bassist Tony Levin, cellist Eugene Friesen, drummer Celso Alberti, saxist George Brooks, and flutist Ravichandra Kulur. The CD was co-produced by Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman and mixed by Corin Nelsen.

Each YouTube video features recording sessions with a different artist. Shambhu recorded acoustic guitar tracks first. Then he layered on cello, percussion, bass, English horn, violin, sax, flute and other instruments onto the tracks.

Once all the recordings were complete, he mixed and mastered the CD. Recording and mixing took place at Imaginary Road Studios in Windham County, Vermont. The CD was mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering.

The CD was co-produced by Windham Hill Records Founder Will Ackerman and Shambhu. Corin Nelsen handled engineering and mixing.

All of these artists and production people are featured in “The Making of Sacred Love” on YouTube on the ShambhuMusic channel.

The 8-page booklet included with the CD also references the YouTube channel webisode listings where you can watch the CD being recorded. So you can hear a song and then see it being recorded in various sessions.

“It might be the first CD ever to feature YouTube webisode listings,” said Shambhu. “Being able to watch the CD being made really brings the entire production process to life.”
