Just for this month, I’m offering both of my albums for free, downloadable from my website at http://www.nuwrayn.com.

Both A Million Tears and One And Only were produced, arranged, mixed, and mastered on the Motif XS 8 and Sonar Cakewalk 8.

All that is necessary is for you to click the download button; you will be required to enter your email address; the website will e-mail you a direct link to the download.

Enjoy, and please, all feedback is welcome! Please remember to friend me on Facebook and Twitter! Buying my music will help me greatly in making more great music; both albums are available on iTunes also.

Happy listening!

Okay folks...I’m gonna be real blunt (cuz heck, it’s who I am).  These days, with keyboards being so prevalent and affordable, nearly anyone can “produce an album” and so it was with a jaundiced eye that I took in this post.  I’m also new at this forum, so I don’t know anybody yet.  So being cynical I thought “uh huh...another album produced by some kid on a keyboard”.

Egads I’m an idiot.  THIS STUFF IS BRILLIANT!  I cannot shut up about Mr. NuwrayN’s music.

He is very very mature musically and knows EXACTLY what he is doing with the Motif XS. 

The other thing I get really cynical about is when musicians describe themselves and their music.  Well, again, here I am being put in my place because everything Mr. NuwrayN says about his music is absolutely true.  I hear all of the nuances and influences he speaks to on his website.  Kudos to him for accurately describing his particular brand of music (it’s actually kind of hard to do because you don’t want to drown your readers in hyperbole, yet you want to ACCURATELY get across what your music sounds like and how great it is!).

I am about halfway through A Million Tears and will probably get through One and Only by the end of the day.

Very VERY peaceful and meditative stuff.  The mix is excellent with all instruments nestled nicely into their “area” of the stereo spectrum.  The choice of instruments is also done very well in that they blend together and add to each other perfectly.  This stuff is going in my .mp3 player (and also in my Music folder at work) and my twin girls (11 years old) are going to have these two albums on their iPod Touch’s.

The “pacing” of the album is also spot on.  No tracks “jar” you or startle.  Everything just flows peacefully on.

Ooh...just heard some nylon acoustic guitar played beautifully.  Yeah!  Love me some nylon!

These two albums represent two fantastic successes in my opinion:
1. NuwrayN’s excellent songwriting, recording, mixing, producing skills.
2. A testament to the high quality of Yamaha instruments (of which we all love!).

Whether you love or hate “new age” style/genre, you must admit that the Motif series of keyboards, when used expertly and by someone with an intense sense of purpose and creativity, simply soar.

My hats off to you sir.  Keep up the GREAT work.  You have truly inspired me today!  I gotta get off my duff and get some things done with my XF’s.

Sincerely,

Kevin B. Selby

Thanks so much for the feedback Kevin! I truly appreciate it. :-D

Nevertheless, I’m so happy that you love my music. I have already finished a new album and am halfway through another. It’s an exciting time! You guys will have so much music, you won’t know what to do with it.

Just wanted to let you guys know you can listen to and buy all my albums from my Bandcamp site too.
