Kara's track Thank You PURE from her Paths X album was released April 2008 as part of Far East Peaches "Round and Round" compilation .

The song "Colors of the Summer Sky" co-written by Kara Johnstad and Gunnar Spardel and sung by Kara Johnstad was released on Tiger Forest "Sounds of Life" album. 2007

Tiger and Forest and Kara Johnstad are working on a new collaboration for summer 2008!

Kara works with the pop/rock band Fortunate Fools and has written many lyrics for their "hits!" They just finished recording their first studio album and it is now on the market! Record release February 2009! I am excited! A great live band, be sure to check them out.

Kara and Nicolas are gathering ideas for a collaboration for Aqualise. It would be Kara's first "gig" in London, a town she wants to discover this year.

Myng and i are going to work on some new tracks. We are still in the brain storming stage, but it will happen for his upcoming album, and I am going to get into studio and send him some of my relaxed tracks and he is going to work magic and make them into "CLUB" mixes.

Makato Sawai, a wonderful jazz musician based in Tokyo has contacted Kara this past month to write lyrics and sing on his next album. I have the tune in my i pod and am inspired to write a stunning lyric! Also, between Far East Peach and Makoto would be happy to visit Tokyo with my band. I do love SUSHI!

Teelanova gave me a beautiful surprise today an did a video to Different Planes! Check them out at www.myspace.com/teelanovela.

Sounds Likeraindrops on a hot tin roof, breaking off a piece of velvety dark chocolate, licking off icicles, laying underneath a big steinway while a friend plays, golden silence, a warm quilt as it tucks you into bed, and old indian drum, whales and dolphins singing, you tell me.

When
you get down to it, we basically go back and forth between two basic
 emotions: love and fear. Fear can be healthy(fear of walking into
traffic for instance) but most of the time, it's an
unreal movie we are playing in our head. Fear prevents us from living our
dreams, from taking chances, from living our lives the way would like to. Our fears
hold us prisoner in jails of our own making. Only when we live through the eyes
of love and not fear can we be truly authentic and true to ourselves.

Today, I have a simple question for you. Please ponder it. And find a way to act on
it. What risks would you take if you weren't afraid?
Wishing
you a wonderful week ahead,

Love& Blessings Raine x

Hi There Kara

How are you? Not heard from you in ages, trust all is well in your world.

This week remember just how important you are. We all find it easy to acknowledge the importance of others in our lives. Yet it is all too easy to overlook our own need to be nurtured and loved. So this week give yourself that extra little care and attention. In looking after our own needs, we make ourselves better people for those around us. Enjoy your own uniqueness my friend.

Love & Blessings Phil

This is the time of year that we need to stop what we are doing and help those that are left alone for the Holidays, There are many suicides this time of year because people are lonely, this is not right and we all know this {makes ya fell kinda shitty huh?}, so I would like for you all to concentrate on someone you know will be alone and do something about it! Its not hard to help someone in need, you do it because you would want someone to do it for you! I also want to say if someone does you a good deed try and do as many as you can so it starts a ripple effect! I smile when I meet a cashier even if he/she is not happy and not smiling, when you speak with them on a human level then it speaks volumes about who you are and what your’re made of! I think maybe I should not babble on but just remember we all are not really much different than each other, we laugh, sing, love, dance, & share just like we are supposed to. We need to connect with each other a lot more and show what we are made of!!!!!!!!!!

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

With that I bid you adieu’

In Love, Light, & Laughter,

Angell:ll aka Theresa

Olá Kara, tudo bem? Parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

A música Lei de Murphy ganhou o 1º lugar no Festival de Santa Maria.

Ela foi interpretada pela Carol Voigt. Gostaria que a visitasse no myspace.com/srtavoigt dando "aquela força" para ela.

Muito obrigado, grande abraço e sucessos sempre!

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...

LEILA ADU has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, post-rock textures, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama. As her website has it, exploring the "dissonant edges of familiar forms", but with that kind of 'dissonance' that they once accused Thelonious Monk or Debussy of, the kind that soon betrays it's own compelling melodic and harmonic logic to the attentive listener...

'Dark Joan', Leila's third album as a solo artist, was recorded in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsome, Nirvana, Pixies), and Albini's genius has been to strip her sound back to it's essence, and hold it's most distinctive qualities up to the light. It doesn't hurt that this is by far Leila's most powerful set of songs to date, and if anything we are lead even deeper into her world by the pictures painted with just piano (or in some cases harpsichord or a grime-encrusted electric piano) and that voice...

Capable of anything from delicate heartbreaking purity to a fearsome dramatic power, her powers are seemingly limitless, yet unlike most other singers of her calibre, never does she resort to melodrama or show-boating, or any kind of pastiche, instead she employs her resources fully in the expression of her distinctive musical vision and the deep well-spring of her imagination. Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.

Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
