SPRING 2005 NEWSLETTER


M4M doesn't send out emails very often, but with a number of news items to report, we thought now would be a great time to get in touch!
First off, thanks to all of our customers, colleagues, and partners for your continued support of M4M. 2004-2005 has been our busiest period yet, and we have you to thank for that. And now the news...

NEW ARTIST-PARTNER @ M4M
M4M is pleased to announce that we are now carrying the new record label, "Golden Beams Productions", created by legendary drummer Jack Dejohnette. This is Jack's own label, set up to release his projects that range from jazz and world music to the healing art of sound. We are excited to be carrying his first two releases, "Music in the Key of Om" and "Music From the Hearts of the Masters", please visit http://www.musicformovement.com/gbcds.html for more info!


MOVE -volume 3 - now available
Jumping ahead of the long-awaited MOVE - volume 2, M4M continues its popular MOVE dance resource series with "Music for Ballet", by pianist Erik Geddis. A full-length solo piano recording that features traditional folk music, classical repertoire, contemporary classics from Gershwin and Disney films to original compositions by Mr. Geddis. This is a must-have in any dancer's library, and can be ordered at http://www.musicformovement.com/move.html

The mp3-player revolution is here to stay! Accordingly, M4M has supplied Apple's iTunes with it's first release, the evocative, experimental instrumental recording "winter music" by chris cawthray + michael occhipinti. To access iTunes, you have to download Apple's easy-to-use software at http://www.apple.com/itunes/, and it is available for Mac and PC computer platforms.
