  • New track "1949"

    this is  a brand new song that we're offering as a free download, but please consider making a donation for a good cause :

    our friend Dan of Collecting Pool recently uploaded a new track (http://soundcloud.com/collecting-pool/nine-circles-450-kps) and started a fundraiser. We'd like to help by creating more awareness of the fundraiser : one of Dan's neighbors, Chloe Vojtik, was 9 years old when she passed away on March 30, 2013 from complications relating to a Chordoma brain tumor.  She was diagnosed on September 7, 2011. During that time she had 21 surgeries, 30 MRIs, been arrested and resuscitated twice, braved countless procedures and treatments and suffered from chronic pain. Her last hospital stay lasted over 7 weeks when she was admitted to the emergency room on her 9th birthday.

    the aim is to help raise money to help offset the huge medical bills the Vojtik's have incurred through this difficult period in their lives. Please, take a free copy of this song and keep Chloe's memory close to your hearts. But all we ask is that you consider supporting the effort to contribute to the Vojtik's via the You Caring link : http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/for-the-love-of-chloe/57583

    Thank you for your support.
