Veiron Audio and Visual Productions announced that LTP Learning To
Play, the debut album from Director/Producer JJacob is now available
in CD format through both CD Baby and Unsigned CDs. The album has been
available for digital download since October 22, 2010. A one year sync
licensing/publishing deal was also signed with Liberty Music Trax –
Canada
( http://www.libertymusictrax.com ) for four tracks from the “LTP
Learning to Play” album: “Traveler I – The Journey Begins,” “Gaia,”
“Uriel,” and “Learning to Play”.
JJacob and LTP Learning to Play have been having quite a bit of
success on the social networking scene as well. In less than a year,
JJacob’s MySpace profile alone (http://www.myspace.com/jjacobsmusic )
had more than 17,000 views and 7,000 plays. The aggregated score for
all of his social networks, including ReverbNation and FaceBook,
showed more than 20,000 views and 10.000 plays.
The nine track LTP Learning To Play is a combination songs based
largely on the combination of the electronic genre with multiple other
genres, all of which (with the exception of one) are purely
instrumental. There are mixtures of rather classical instruments like
pianos, violins, orchestral elements and percussions, drums and
guitars. On most tracks, elements of rock dominate but under the
umbrella of what one would consider electro-rock or progressive
instrumental rock. Some tracks are closer to the styles of artists
like Vangelis, Jean Michele Jarre and Tangerine Dream. “Learning To
Play,” the only track with lyrics, and performed by singer Lola
Yannopoulou, is reminiscent of Enya and the 90’s ambient scene.
Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team critiqued the album,
stating, "Talented artist, JJacob, releases an excellent collection of
ambient Electronic music on his debut album, “LTP Learning to play.”
JJacob is a self taught musician and he is not afraid to make that
statement. As you listen through his entire album, one would think he
had some kind of training as his music is quite melodic and has a
multitude of layered sounds with a nice dynamic balance. Opening up
the CD, “Traveler I - The Journey Begins,” is vibrant with a steady
strong rhythm and rich synth strings. Another song, “Time noise,” is
bursting with rhythmic beats swirling around the lush sounds of the
synths as they build up to a grand, powerful feel. “Playground,” has
mysterious sound and flows with a terrific eerie sensation. Although
this album is mainly instrumentals, “Learning to Play,” features
hypnotic vocals that caress the well orchestrated instrumentation. If
you are a fan of Electronic music with dark tonality, then the album,
“LTP Learning to play,” is just what you need to listen to."
LTP was originally based on the simple idea of learning how to play
music. With the completion of each track, however, it became more
apparent that the creative process was being driven by certain
personal emotions which were gradually emerging. Eventually, LTP
turned out to be learning to play with a sense of nature, the simple
elements that have contributed to one’s life, and even the new sense
of values that emerge from a child's play. The ultimate understanding
is that our true existence in the universe is grounded in the grace of
humble things.
LTP can be purchased at CD Baby at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jjacob or
CD Unsigned at: http://www.cdunsigned.com/cd.php?products_id=482, and
at city-central major retailer stores “IANOS Chain of culture” in
Greece. It will be available shortly at select major and independent
music stores in Greece, Europe, the USA and Japan. The Veiron Audio
and Visual productions online music store is currently under
construction, but the album is now available in digital downloadable
formats through the major online retailers iTunes, Amazon, Napster,
eMusic, and others.
