Martin Tielli subscription series
Martin committed to the most tragically ambitious music project to come out of Canada’s independent scene in a very long time. And now it's nearly finished.

Now halfway through the tragically ambitious subscription series announced in 2003, Martin is working toward the completion of The Ghost of Danny G and New Gold. No one contests that Martin delivers, and the first two releases in the subscription series have met with rabid acclaim from fans.

The first album, Operation Infinite Joy, was recorded with the Martin's other band, Operation Infinite Justice (Ford Pier, Greg Smith and Barry Mirochnick) created to support the Poppy Salesman tour. OIJ was also released commercially and is available on-line and in record stores, though the subscription series version contains a bonus track.

Schoenberg Cabarets features a Nick Buzz alumni reunion performing pieces by classical composer Arnold Schoenberg.

The Ghost of Danny G is the perfect Hallowe'en record and relates musically the tale of a haunted southern Ontario town.

The fourth and final installment, New Gold, is a symphonic work arranged by Jon Goldsmith.

Get Martin Tielli in a collector series of four limited edition, numbered and signed music albums, each complete with unique packaging and lush artwork created by Tielli.

Schoenberg trivia note
The good folks who have revolutionized bathroom reading provide the following nugget of auto-divination regarding Arnold Schoenberg.

Schoenberg was born September 13, 1874, and believed he would probably die on the 13th as well. He predicted it was most likely he would die on a Friday the 13th, and in 1951, when he was 76 (7+6=13). July 13, 1951 fell on a Friday, and Shoenberg stayed in bed that day, awaiting death. In the evening, his wife went to his room to scold him for wasting an entire day so foolishly. When she opened the door, Shoenberg looked up at her, uttered the single word "harmony," and dropped dead. Time of death: 11:47 p.m. ... 13 minutes before midnight.

Don't forget Nick Buzz!
Also, Six Shooter Records is still very excited about the re-release of Martin's Nick Buzz project Circo. Several years ago, Martin found himself in the studio with musical luminaries Jonathan Goldsmith (piano), Rob Piltch (guitar), and Hugh Marsh (violin), to record "The River" for a Joni Mitchell tribute album. This experience inspired the four to record an album as Nick Buzz, and a year later they emerged with Circo. Originally released in limited quantities and long since out-of-print, Circo was re-released March 5, 2002 to an amazing response. Be sure to order your copy from Six Shooter Records if you haven't already done so.
