Hi,

How are you doing, alright I hope? We are doing well, moved house,
Joanne is starting to find places and people to do therapy work with and
I am making music in my "Music Room", it's all good.

You will possibly have noticed that is has been some time since I wrote
anything here. That is simply because, as explained in the last
newsletter, N1M does nothing for us.

We no longer use N1M for that reason but would love to stay in touch
with you. If you wish to stay in touch with us and read about what we
are up to, then please sign up to our official mailing list. In return
you will receive three downloadable free tracks from the third album
Iomlan, scheduled for release later this year.

I sincerely hope to be hearing from you and to be sending you all our
news in the future.

Thanks for your support

Hi
Hope you are well and still enjoying the music.

I am hoping you can give me a little bit of input which I can then use for my online marketing strategy. Simple enough, could you listen to my music and tell me who it reminds you of, which bands or artists does it sound like. If you could give me three that would be great but if only one comes to mind then that would be helpful too.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

First up, thanks again for buying, playing and sharing the music. The new album is still in progress with an anticipated release in mid summer.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about something other than music. For the last week I have been watching a video series from Ty Bollinger and the people at The Truth about Cancer. You may have been watching it too but if you weren't I wholeheartedly recommend you go and check it out either at (expired link) or YouTube..or better still check them both out.

Although it's reason for being is to educate people on ways to avoid or get rid of cancer, the topics it covers are so widespread that just from the point of view of learning how to have a healthy lifestyle it's all well worth watching. I hope you go and have a look.

That's it for now, enjoy.

Hi,
First up, thanks as always for listening and sharing the music plus a special thanks to those who bought the albums.

I'm working on..the house just now..yeah a bit of decorating, but still finding some time to get new tunes together for another album, 5 down about 11 to go I reckon.

Got a cold as well so not exactly feeling on top of the World..don't suppose you all really need to know that, but hey it goes to show I'm human too. Hope you're all well!

Take it easy

Hello, and thanks again to everyone who has played, listened to and enjoyed the music. Special thanks to those who have paid for and downloaded the full album, the feedback from you has been really inspiring.

“Just Be..” the new album, with more of an “Eastern” influence, will be released early in February. Two tracks from the 12 track album, again just over one hour of music, have been uploaded to N1M and we look forward to hearing what you all think of these.

Enjoy

Elliphen

Well that was it, New Year, Christmas, both becoming a distant memory, again. Hopefully you all had an enjoyable time whatever you were doing. One thing we will take from it all is that we had the N1M Ambient UK Chart Christmas and New Year number one song. Yeah, in the scheme of things it's no big deal and certainly doesn't have any financial rewards associated with it, but it was nice for us to know that so many people were listening to the songs.

So again, thank you all for listening, subscribing, recommending, sharing and especially buying the music at (expired link). There have also been a number of messages with positive comments received for which we are grateful. We will always try to reply individually to each one as they are all very much appreciated.

The next album, “Just Be..” is still on target to be released at the end of January and it is anticipated that we will upload at least a couple of tracks to N1M before the release date.

We hope you continue to enjoy listening to the music on N1M and remember, if you would like more of the same you can buy the full albums from our website, or click the “Buy” button under the songs here to be taken to our sales page.

Hello again,

Once again, first up, is to thank everyone who has listened to, shared, recommended and bought our music. I can’t begin to tell you how much it means after just a few weeks on N1M, maybe 6 now I think, to have had so many listens, shares and sales. To receive emails and messages about the music is simply awesome, thank you.

To business. There is now an Elliphen YouTube channel which you can check out at the link below.

We are still keen to hear from any film makers with ideas for videos to go with the music. We would love to hear from anyone who has an idea, a camera or a half decent phone which does videos, anything..often just the idea is enough to spark things off.

The new album, which is now going to be called “Just Be..” is almost ready for release, just finalising the artwork. Again it is instrumental, ambient, but with more than a hint of Eastern influences. Hopefully by the next time I write it will be out there.

Which brings me on to the next newsletter. It is likely that this will be the last of 2015, maybe and maybe not, but if it is then I would just like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and all the very best for the New Year..let us make it a good one.

Thank you all so much again for listening, subscribing, recommending, sharing and especially buying the music at (expired link). We have also received a number of emails with positive comments which just makes it all the more worthwhile and is the motivation for the next album. Talking of the next album, working title “Ruby,” is planned for release early next year, around the end of January.

We have started a blog at (expired link) where we can express our views more fully not only on the music but on other topics which interest or concern us. Check it out and leave a comment if you feel moved to do so. There isn't a lot there at the moment but I'm working on it and if anyone would like to read our opinion on anything which they are interested in, just ask. Also if you run a blog yourself please send us a link, we would love to know what you are discussing there too.

We are also planning to start a YouTube channel for Elliphen and are looking for appropriate video footage. It is our intention to put together original video with the music from the Cool Aid album. This is hopefully where you guys come in. If there are any budding filmmakers out there, or just enthusiastic amateurs and hobbyists, who can supply us with your own original video which we can then use on YouTube we would love to hear from you. This can work the other way around too, if someone has a YouTube channel already, makes films and would like to use our music, please get in touch.

Finally, if you have Spotify you will find the whole Cool Aid album to listen to. I know this may seem to negate the need to buy the album but the paid for download files are a higher quality and you get the feel good factor of supporting the music makers. If you particularly want to buy a physical CD please just get in touch and I'll sort you out. We don't have CDs on sale yet, maybe next year..it's all money innit!

Hi,

Just a quickie to say thanks to everyone who played and listened to the songs. A big thank you to everyone who has "recommended" one of the songs. Lastly, a super big thank you to the ones who checked out (expired link) and bought the Cool Aid album, that is so much appreciated. Sure, it's not all about the money but we all have to eat. If you're swithering it's only $9.99 for the album or 99 cents per song, 16 songs, makes sense to go for the album. If not, then no worries, just keep playing and sharing the songs, spread the word, it's all a great help and so very much appreciated.
