**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
Los Angeles, California, United States November 08, 2012 Music Release
Glittertown Records has set a November 23 release date for the debut album, “Counter Clockwise”.
Velvet Symphony, the brainchild of composer/producer Ed Melendez, will feature an instrumental ten-track LP. Inspired by the classic progressive rock groups of the sixties and early seventies, such as Yes, Genesis, The Moody Blues, STYX, and Kansas, as well as neo-progressive groups like Marillion, Saga, Dream Theater, and Porcupine tree.
This will be composer Edward Melendez’s first all-instrumental art-rock album.
The ten-track album will include music written, arranged,d and produced by songwriter Ed Melendez, who has been involved in music production for over the last twenty years. A self-taught composer and recording engineer, Ed has produced and been a part of a number of independent musical projects. He has also composed several stage adaptations and scores for several video game projects for video game developer baKno.
The work to create the album began in mid-2012, composing ten short musical riffs. Ed Melendez then added the layers and orchestrations to each of the ten riffs, expanding them thematically in length and in instrumentation. The composer’s progressive rock influences are evident in the ten tracks.
The first single, which is accompanied by its own music video, is Exit, An elaborate piece that explores funk, rock, and jazz styles. The rest of the album is heavily laid with grinding guitar leads, flowing melodies, and a tight rhythm section.
The musical elements of each of the ten songs are also unique. Each piece starts in one style and leaves the listener in a different place when finished.
To celebrate the release of “Counter Clockwise,” Velvet Symphony will give away a free copy of the album to the first ten email requests received daily between November 20th and 30th, 2012. So a free CD for each of the ten days will be given out. Winners will have their choice of either a free MP3 download of the album or they can be mailed a physical CD.
There will be much more to share as the album becomes available.
