FREE SYMPHONIKA
FOR XMAS!

The 3rd album from Dan's instrumental side project Symphonika, "The Dark Fairytales Suite" has been released free here on Ooberman.net.

Get it right now from:

www.ooberman.net/dkf.htm

Says Dan: "I'm already being paid for producing this stuff for TV and film, so from now on I'll give my Symphonika albums away free to fans. Merry Christmas!".

At least some of the music on this album will be used behind the forthcoming Magic Theatre Songs.

THE MAGIC THEATRE

Dan and Sophia are working on a new album provisionally entitled 'Visions and Fairytales' by The Magic Theatre. Sophia will be on main vocals and the music will be magical, orchestral and electronic with good tunes, a time travel love story and lots of harmonies.

As of August, all the orchestral and choral parts have now been recorded in Slovakia and Estonia. The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir recording was produced by Bjork and Arcade Fire engineer Michael Paert.

OOBERMAN LOST TAPES
