AtmoWorks Update - July 2008
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
AtmoWorks Changes
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
2008 has been a year of changes. After seven years, James Johnson decided to step back from running AtmoWorks with Vir Unis. James is focusing on his family, sound design work, and his music. In March, Vir Unis decided to ask two long time friends to co-own the label going forward: John Koch-Northrup and Matt McDonough. The three of us have known each other since high school and have played music together for years.
After server and site upgrades, we're getting ready to start releasing again. All releases will be available as either 320 kpbs mp3 download or as a cdr. We've also expanded AtmoWorks to include a number of great new artists - some you'll know, and some are brand new. In addition to the high quality ambient music that we're known for, we're expanding into techno, idm, and even have a few rock and shoegaze/ethereal type artists coming soon. What ties everything together is we believe in these artists and the music they write.

Partnership with Hypnos
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
In the past, AtmoWorks has released in mp3, cd, and cdr format. Going forward, we've decided to focus on mp3 downloads. In order to bring our customers a choice between download and cdr - we've formed a great partnership with the Hypnos label. They'll be making and selling cdr versions of all of our full length releases. You can buy these cdr's either from our store - or through the Hypnos store - either way the artists will be getting the exact same royalty whether it's the download or cdr from either store. This is a truly fantastic relationship for all involved.

The AtmoWorks Community
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
If you go to link - you'll notice you go to our community now instead of directly to our store. We'd absolutely love for you to join our site. It's a great place for you to mingle with fellow music lovers and directly with the artists. You can upload your own music, your photos and videos, keep a blog, or post to the forum. It's amazingly easy to sign up and use.

Of course, we'd love for you to pick up our latest releases. The store link is at the top of the community page and also on the right side under links. Or just go straight to: link
We'll be updating the site in the coming months to have a fresh coat of paint and added functionality.

Thank You!

Once again, thank you for your past support of AtmoWorks. Without you, we couldn't continue to support the artists and provide an outlet for this wonderful music.
