Thank you again for all of your support throughout this project. Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 would not be a reality without all of you amazing people. We will see you tonight for an epic stream!

The preorder of Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 is LIVE!
Pre-Order here[music.approachingnirvana.com]

The first track is “Just a Dream.” It is a bittersweet flashback to a lost love. The second track is “The Encounter.” This song depicts the first time our character meets the main antagonist/threat and foreshadows a great conflict to come. The PDF with the artwork you will receive next week will flesh out the stories even more. Kickstarter Backers have already received the preorder tracks, so make sure to check your email (including Spam folders)!

Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 releases December 19. Kickstarter Backers will receive an advanced digital copy of the album by December 11 including a PDF Artwork/Story Booklet and the Continuous Mix.

This album would not have been possible without you. We hope to see you at the DJ livestream at 5PM Eastern Time[www.twitch.tv] today for even more exclusive content!

Hi Backers!

Thank you for being patient. It’s been a bit since we’ve updated you! We’ve been all over the place this month. Most recently we were in Seattle for PAX Prime! Which was a blast. We got to meet a few of our amazing fans and hang out with some amazing friends that have supported us along the way! And now on to the good stuff.

As you may know, included in the Kickstarter was an upgrade to Studio Equipment. This will enable us to produce better quality music for Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 and beyond. You can find pictures by following us on our Instagram[instagram.com].

Additionally, we’ve updated to Logic Pro X - which means Autosaving!! <3 This will save ALL the projects haha. You can join us on our Twitch Channel[www.twitch.tv] Mondays and Wednesdays @ 3PM ET USA to check out the new equipment and hear our progress on Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2.

As for Merch, we’re on our way. Headphones are in the works as well as the Dropshades. CDs will be ordered once the audio is finished in November-ish. But most importantly, we’ve gathered initial version of the tracklist for the Nostalgia Album. It flows nicely and in some cases really gives the songs new meaning when listened to in an album format. Hmm, maybe a continuous edit is in store?! Remember that it’s not 100% final; here is the tentative list:

1. First Flight Relaunched
   
2. Strings Attached
   
3. Shadows' Vigilante
   
4. The Things We Did
   
5. Motionless Thoughts
   
6. Ascension
   
7. Before Your Eyes
   
8. Lullaby of Creation (Remastered Version)
   
9. Resurrection
   
10. The Last of Us
    
11. Through Darkness
    
12. Enlightened
    
13. From the Foreshadows (Remastered Version)
    
14. Cherry Blossoms
    
15. Revisions

Moving forward, we’ll be gathering the tracklist for the Legacy Catalogue. That's every single track we've ever released! Once that is together, we’ll let you guys know! I’m anticipating 200+ tracks :)

Again, thank you all so much for your support. It means so much to us. Without it, we would not be able to continue to do this. I am really looking forward to releasing this album! And with the new studio equipment, I’m really looking forward to pushing the music to the next level! Have an amazing week, we’ll see you on stream!

- Andrew & Sam

It's over! We've done it. With your help, we've completed our Kickstarter Campaign for Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 and the album is now a reality. We can't thank you enough for your support and looking ahead to December, I am so excited to be able to share this experience with you.

We'll post more updates soon that are more official. But at this late date, I just wanted to say thank you. For everything. Your support means the world to us. We could not have come this far without you. Have a great weekend and we'll update you in a few days with some official things and stuff!

Hey Awesome People!

Thank you so much for all your support! Yesterday, we passed our 2nd stretch goal for the Kickstarter so that means that the album is now 12 total tracks! We are so excited because that means that Cinematic Soundscapes Volume 2 is a much more complete experience. This is definitely one of the stretch goals I’ve been looking forward to the most!

Sam and I are so proud to have all of you as a community. We are so grateful for your support and so happy to be able to call you our friends! We are now sitting almost halfway to the next stretch goal which unlocks the continuous album mix! It will be amazing to hear the album in 1 contiguous audio file start to finish - the way the album is meant to be experienced.

Thank you again for all of your support. On Saturday, we’ll be doing a marathon DJ Stream to celebrate our Twitch Subscribers and the last day of the Kickstarter. Join us @ 12PM ET USA on our Twitch Channel[twitch.tv] for 8-12 hours for an amazing celebration of all the amazing people that have supported us!

We’re hoping to hit the next stretch goal and maybe some more beyond that before the Kickstarter ends in the coming days. We can do it! We’ll see you on stream this week/weekend!

- Andrew & Sam
