COMPILATIONS INCLUDING WORKS BY CHERYL E. LEONARD

HABITAT
A two disc compilation produced by Asthmatic Kitty Records covering the various manifestations of "electronic music" This collection is a benefit for Habitat for Humanity. Label directors Lowell Brams, Sufjan Stevens, and Michael Kaufmann are all fans of electronic music and have wanted to release a compilation of this nature for some time. Here, electronic music is represented in its many forms: electro-acoustic experimentation, hip-hop, glitch, field recordings, ambient, electro-pop, etc.

Buy the CD here for $10 (+S&H)
or on iTunes for $9.99

Includes Cheryl Leonard's Uncle Iroh's Teahouse, available exclusively on this compilation.

SOUNDING OUT CALIFORNIA
Northern California boasts a wide range of musical traditions ranging from psychedelia, garage-punk, hip-hop, bluegrass, reggae, classical, and more. How do these distinct aesthetic trajectories and California's ethnic diversity inform contemporary experimental electro-acoustic music? Embracing the notion of hybridity, Sounding Out California is a NEXMAP initiative that fosters the production of contemporary music. Five selected composers living and operating in California were invited to master an existing pre-recorded acoustic, electronic, or electro-acoustic work. The compilation features works by: Hideko Kawamoto, Kevin Shea Adams, Damon Waitkus, Cheryl E. Leonard and Marielle Jakobsons.
