My solo piano piece, "AFTERTHOUGHTS", was used in an animated video and is up for an award. If you look down at the Press Release below, you'll see that winners will be selected soon. The other very cool thing, is that my song AFTERTHOUGHTS has been chosen, along with the other entries to be included on a solo piano compilation CD entitled, "Acoustic Visions". I'll keep you posted concerning the status of both the Awards ceremony and the CD.
Here's the link to view the video:

The results of the Jury votes (nominees for the Awards in the categories "Animation" and "Digital Films") will be announced by October 4th. This year NewAgePiano.net will award additional trophies to the composers of the piano tracks that are used in winning videos. The winners will be announced on October 20th at the SL:MIMA Gala in Mittweida, Germany. The tracks of the following 13 artists were chosen by video artists for their productions:
ARTIST TITLE ALBUM
Thad Fiscella Gentle Whisper VAST
Jennifer Haines Trooper Thoughts and Dreams
John Pedersen Afterthoughts Selected Piano Works

We're thinking about creating a new CD compilation 2009. This would require that the artist mentioned in the table above deliver their tracks uncompressed, in a WAVE format. Since we can put about 20 tracks on a CD we would like to encourage other artists to propose a track for the release. The title of the CD would be "Acoustic Visions"."
