well, officially now I'm launching the new MW-ORBIT music project.
(http://mw-orbit.com/wp-content/themes/Supernova/Supernova/images/header.jpg)
The artwork is being worked on, and the project is in full swing- This time a full length CD and download with a short story. This project revolves around an artificially intelligent probe that is on a mission to find other life in the universe. His mission is to orbit three times, and then ask "Is anyone there?" Get ready for reports from MW as he gets ready to send text, video and audio from his voyage ending with a full audio download in late October, early November 2010.

Special thanks to Stefan, Jeff, Tim and others who are helping this dream become reality.
Ah, I've been waiting for this :)
Looking forward to this! :)
Looks great Rick! Can't wait to hear more about it. Nice website too!
Check back daily for MW updates! Dr. Kroager just switched him on!
AWESOME seriously looking forward to this. :D
by the way, if you want MW-ORBIT to notify you by email when he makes an entry, subscribe here http://bit.ly/cSDr9P (http://bit.ly/cSDr9P)
Cool, Rick!
I've signed up to the email thingy :D
Cool. MW recorded a message yesterday with all of the attention he is getting.

I could really use your help!
If you could help me promote the MW-ORBIT site by posting it on Facebook, and twitter a couple of times a week I would really appreciate it! You can retweet his entries that he sends out. That's a great way to get folks to start reading and listening. I'm trying to do this very interactive and unique. But if no one knows about it, well I won't be able to keep doing cool projects like it. I have set the site up so that people can get email updates as well. Let me know if you do any of this and I will try and put everyone's name in a hat that helps and give a free CD to a lucky winner.
the site url is http://www.mw-orbit.com (http://www.mw-orbit.com)
Here are a couple of banners that you could put on your blog or website. I will also have some audio promos coming up soon. I would be grateful for any help on promoting that you could give! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

he does now! @mworbit
Great idea Kenny.

MW launched today, his ongoing story is availabe at http://www.mw-orbit.com (http://www.mw-orbit.com) He is taking questions and interacting with his twitter followers. Come catch up on this little guy. He will be leaving Earth's orbit in a couple of days on his adventure. He will be transmitting his journey in musical form in the next few weeks.
Here is a little sample from the quiet track on the new CD...
This is a brief moment in the story where MW looks back on his life and longs for the people he loves to be with him. It's called "No Reply At All" from the 12th track of the CD.

That was beautiful Rick.. you know how much I love piano.. can't wait for me.
Thanks Kenny. You are going to love this CD!
So am I from the evidence to date :)
I think folks will enjoy this project, I'm jumping off the deep end on it as I have upped the production quality and time spent on the project. I am ordering four times the Stargazer product and am hopeful that many people will want a copy of it. I'm trying to keep the cost down by buying in bulk, so we shall see what the final cost on the project will be. I think that 14 good solid geeky songs along with an engaging story will be accepted, but we shall see! :)
I got a shipment of download cards to raise money for the MW-ORBIT project. On the 1 year anniversary week of STARGAZER- if you get a hold of me I"m emailing codes for $6 per Album. Not tax or shipping, you just get to instantly download the stargazer CD. I can also mail you download cards for stocking stuffers or fun little geeky gifts for your family and friends. (no extra charge)

This is a great way to get some awesome music and help fund the new project and it's 3 to 4 dollars less expensive!
Thanks for thinking about it.
well I got the CD mastered today, all the cool little transistions are done, and now I'm waiting on the artwork to submit to the powers that be. I'll keep you posted. Cross your fingers and say a prayer that it is met with enthusiasm and excitment! :)
Awesome. Good luck Rick, can't wait to part with my cash :D
Good news.
Got my cover artwork back- you guys & gals get an exclusive, I'm not putting this out except for here until it is released!
What do you think?
That is awesome. Love it :)
The cool part is that I just sketched out something in pencil, and then Sarah and Ella made it come to life. AMAZING!
I recognised the style straight away :D
Nice cover Rick.. looking forward to this.
thanks you guys!
The renditions of he planets are particularly good MW looks neat.
Love the covers! I've been a fan of "Space Art" for a very long time.
http://spaceart.org/ (http://spaceart.org/)
So cool. Yeah, they combined a few pictures that had to be paid for, with the sketches I did. I'll post the sketches eventually and you can see how they made them come to life. I am very happy with it.
I did a bunch of work on the new MW-ORBIT site today.
Come check out all the new audio samples. PRETTY COOL!

Blogged, tweeted, fbed, I think I did everything except email and phone call at this point. :)
King
Thank you so much you guys, VERY much appreciated! It really helps when folks advertise it on twitter, facebook, blogs and such. I don't have a budget for advertising, so you doing that really gets the word out for me! THANK YOU! I will have a promo done very soon for your podcast. THANKS!
Wow, they got my CD on iTunes already! HOW COOL! The samples are all messed up, but hey, it's on iTunes.

here is the artwork for the inside of the CD
Yes, it's on iTunes over here already too. It hasn't shown up on Amazon.co.uk yet but there's plenty of time for that.
Yay! I was kind of waiting for it to get on iTunes to make my purchase.
If anyone has a blog, webpage or place they can use these at, I would be very grateful. Just link them to:

Thanks so much for helping me spread the word about my new project.
Woo! Just downloaded from iTunes. Gonna give it a listen!
Got my copy - and left a review on iTunes.
Thanks so much you guys. Very much appreciated. I'll go read the review now. I hope you liked it!
Got my merchandise Posters today. WOO HOO!
Looks good. Who gets one of those for their window? All of your local stockists I'm guessing.
Available in all good record stores...
Nice poster Rick! :)
Thanks, I'll send you one with your CD! :)
Good poster indeed :).
that's fantastic Rick..
Awesome Rick, you should frame one :D
I never thought about that. I will. I have a cool little display coming. That should be cool too. For my studio wall.
Got the CD's today! WOO HOO!
My MW-ORBIT CDs have arrived! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bkNL5lO1mQ#ws)

How many CDs?
I got 1000 of them. It was more expensive to have 500 made, so I took advantage of the bulk price. Now I have 7 boxes in my front room. ;) No shortage here. Now to find places to sell them!

I'm sure Amy will help motivate you to get them out in the shops as soon as you can (if only to get the living space back) :D
I'll be live on the radio tomorrow morning (1-9-11) at nine a.m. PST
you can stream it here: http://www.kxro.com (http://www.kxro.com)
Come join the fun, I'll be talking about Treks in Sci Fi parody songs and MW-ORBIT. Should be fun!
Jedi Jeff recorded the interview for me. Here it is... enjoy!

I got to talk about sci fi and TREKS IN SCI FI!!! WOO HOO! RICO- I got to say your name on the radio! hehehe.
That's so cool! I loved it!
I listened to this this morning over breakfast. You have a 'radio voice', there's no doubt about it.
Nice interview Rick! Thanks for sharing that with us...
you are welcome! It was a lot of fun to geek it up publicly! :)
