Hello my dear Friends,

since it became evident I need to work
over the period of Christmas and New Year,
let me send at this point my best wishes to you:

Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year!


I wish you all a peaceful time
with your friends and relatives.



And to add few news backstage:

Currently I do evaluate with a studio in Freiburg/Germany
to have the final new album mixes there,
so I might not be much present on the internet
maybe till February.


Due to new album another interesting point will be,
this time I decided to cooperate with an artist
to do the cover art.
I have seen her paintings and they impressed me deeply.

We will go for work at end of December
and I`m pretty sure even if my music does not fit your taste,
the pictures will ...


I hope the first prelisten will be online
at around January
and to have the release in time at February.


If everything goes well and as expected
the album for the first time
either can be ordered as a regular retail cd
or downloaded DRM free
all at once in a new shop system at omkarmusic.

I always missed on shops or download portals
the opportunity to have a system of multiple choice.
So I am working on a paypal shop system to offer this.


Multiple choice to me means to be able

- to choose between ordering a retail cd or to have instant downloads

- to choose tracks via prelisten i like, if i don`t like the whole album

- to choose the quality of an MP3 file from 128kbps to 320kbps
depending on my needs,internet speed,file size and so on


At the same time the album will take common ways
to be available such as iTunes,Amazon etc. in Germany and USA.


Thats the album`s road map so far
and as Osho used to say:

`You try to be wise and life is always otherwise`

one never knows and nothing is for sure ...


For now,
greetings, hugs and love
Omkar

Goodbye SNOCAP, Hello Shop Tab
Written by Omkar

omkar articleGoodbye SNOCAP, Hello Shop Tab

It was a short run with SNOCAP,
the selling engine you see on myspace artists sites.

If someone is interested in the background of the story,
I suggest to visit CDBaby`s news site ... www.cdbaby.org

Very interesting informations from the staff and involved artists.
Gives also non artists a picture of how hard it is
to find reliable selling partners and conditions
when you are an independent artist.

Due to the fact shops and stores for independent artists
come and go
and the common question via mail where to buy my music,
I decided to provide visitors
an overview of current shops per release, or release dependent.

So on a tabbed list you will find the release
and associated major shops and stores.

If something noteworthy is happening like on this story,
the shop overview will be updated accordingly.

The updated FAQ relates a tiny bit to this subjekt as well.

On the navigation of www.omkarmusic.com
you will now find added tab `Shop`.
The updated FAQ is published on the start page as well.
