Karda Estra News - Jan 2008: 

Recently
received a notice that 'Life Drawing' from 'The Last Of The Libertine'
CD is featured on the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show 'Best of 2007
special': www.epilepticgibbon.co.uk 

Andrew
Holborn also featured 'The Last Of The Libertine' as part of his
favourite releases of 2007 on his 3rd Ear Radio show in Australia: www.979fm.net 

Thanks
to all who have helped promote the free mp3 single 'The Atom Age Sense
Of Impermanence.' I realise it wasn't the normal way for those used to
the traditional promo CD route, but the response has proved very
encouraging. So to all the radio shows/writers that have featured it -
kudos. And thanks to those like Jerry Lucky (who featured the embedded
tune on his main page) and Ted Ollikkala who has created a 'Karda Estra
Appreciation Page: www.uvouch.com/fanclub.php?fid=13 
The single is still available via the Karda Estra MySpace, Soundclick, Channel 4 and LastFM sites (see www.kardaestra.co.uk for links) 

A
new piece 'Island Universes' has been completed with myself on various
instruments, Caron on cor anglais, Zoe on flute and Amy on clarinet. I
originally planned this to be the second 10th anniversary mp3 single,
but I'm really taken with the idea and I'm thinking of expanding the
music into a new album suite. In fact, I've already begun working on
another 'Island Universes' tune. I hadn't originally intended to start
work on a new album, but that's the way inspiration goes. I'm still
very much committed to doing the mp3 singles too, so it looks like I'll
be splitting my time between them and the album - I already have a
guitar sketch that I'm considering for the next single. 

Finally
... recently discovered someone had made a video to accompany my piece
'The Red Room' from 'The Age Of Science And Enlightenment' album and
posted it on Youtube. Completely without permission, but I was pleased
and flattered that someone wanted to do this. It uses paintings by
Caspar David Friedrich and I think it works well: Have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21hzJoWMA6c 

Best wishes, 
Richard Wileman
