***LAST WEEK OFFER!!! GET THE ALBUM FOR €10!!!!*** 

Hi! My name is Devesh Sodha. I am 21 years old and I am a music composer from the UK. I am a known composer in Leicester for my work in theatre shows, bringing my cinematic feel to theatre stages all over the UK. I have received 5 star reviews from such companies as "The Stage", the world's longest-running publication for the performing arts industry. I have been composing music for over 6 years, having my music played and performed all over the UK and internationally.

My campaign is to raise money to hire and record an Orchestra in Budapest for my album!

It has been a big dream of mine to be able to work with an awesome team of people and get a live orchestra to play my music. I NOW HAVE THAT CHANCE!

This project started in September 2013. I wanted to make my first commercial album for trailer music. I have had my music played all over theatres in the UK and Internationally, but I have always wanted to hear my music played in cinemas. I would always watch the trailer and say, I want to make music that can be put in trailers to promote these amazing movies. So I decided to do just that! Second Earth is by far my most ambitious project! When coming up with this idea to make this album I thought to myself, it would be great to work with some of the people that have inspired me over the years. So I started to reach out to talented musicians, vocalists and composers and oh boy do we have a great team of people! We have the outstanding Tina Guo, who is a world-renowned cellist. Uyanga Bold, one of the best ethnical vocalists I have ever had the privilege to know! Aeralie Brighton, who is a very powerful singer and an upcoming star in the business!

Co-composing with me are Stephen M Lloyd and Anze Rozman. These two are very talented composers and I am grateful to have them on board! You can read more about these talented, beautiful people in the “Team Second Earth” section.

Your contribution to this album will take the album to the next level! Being a MIDI Composer, we are restricted on the realism we can get from samples. NOTHING beats live musicians. Your contributions will help me get the best musicians for the job and bring unreal power to this album! It will help make the music more licensable for trailer companies. You will be making my dreams come true and helping me take my next step towards my career.

Here is some previews from the album so far:

Uyanga Boldbaatar 

Vocalist

Featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine and nominated Female Singer of the Year 2013 by Cosmo Mongolia, Uyanga is an international vocalist, composer and arranger, known for her distinctive emotive and improvisatory vocals inspired by traditional Mongolian singing. Uyanga is also recognized for her ethnic performance in a live arrangement of Hans Zimmer’s Batman: The Dark Knight suite with the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra at the Masterpiece concert in Bucharest, Romania.

Featured in TV and radio broadcasts in Europe, Mongolia and in the United States, as well print and digital media, Uyanga has performed at major concert venues with musicians from around the world, both as soloist and backing vocalist, notably, with Grammy Award winning world artist Angelique Kidjo and the Women of the World at Agganis Arena, and with triple Grammy and American Music Awards nominated R&B artist Blu Cantrell.

Among Uyanga’s varied projects, her non-ethnic vocals can be heard in the official 2013 Google Nexus and Disney Mickey Mouse Club s in Japan, following a collaboration with Japanese producer Fumitake Igarashi of West One Music Group. Uyanga has also lent her voice to Thomas Bergersen of Two Steps from Hell’s works and the Dark Knight Suite with ethnic vocals in a live performance and broadcast on national television at Iasi, Romania at the inaugural music festival of the city’s bid to become the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2021. Ms. Boldbaatar was also the featured soloist performing famous film masterpieces at the prestigious Sala Palatului in Bucharest with the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra, and performed as a lead singer at the inaugural concert at the Outside the Box music festival, acting as a musical and cultural representative of Mongolia and Asia in the Rhythm of the Universe project.

Drawing inspiration from around the globe, Uyanga’s versatility allows her to create a fusion of ethnic improvisatory melismatic melodies of the Asian continent with the vocal traditions from around the globe, Bulgarian Women’s Choir to American Soul, from Middle Eastern influences to African chants. Whether belting the epic vocal stylings of the Mongolian “Long Drawn Song”, declared by UNESCO as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, or transitioning into a softer sweeter contemporary sound of modern pop, Uyanga “transports the listener to ancient worlds and future metropolises with a nuanced voice and raw emotion.”

As both an ethnic and contemporary singer, Uyanga has many varied collaborations under her belt. She has co-written and recorded with German Trailer and Film composer Valentin Boomes, arranged and recorded choir and backing vocals for Ethiopian Gospel artist Tselot Seyoum for her latest album Temesgen with Ethiopian producer Daniel Guiche, collaborated with the Mexican composer and founder of Sinemotif Milo Coello for the trailer of “One”, and while still finishing off her Bachelor’s degree at Berklee College of Music, worked with Spanish composer Arturo Cardelús for the Spanish independent movie Forjados (2009), directed by Asier Iza.

Aeralie Brighton 

Vocalist

Aeralie is more than a triple threat! She is a singer, producer, songwriter, and composer who has an amazing talent for improvising and making up languages on the spot. Her staggering 4 1/2 octave range is laced with a beautifully wide colour spectrum. Her voice is captivatingly haunting and yet calming at the same time..

From an early age, Aeralie had a passion for movie music and film scores. In 2009 she began a career in the military as an Army combat air traffic controller, where she remained in active duty until late 2011. Because of events that took place in Iraq, she was no longer medically qualified to continue her service and was honorably discharged.  

After leaving the military,  Aeralie needed something equally as challenging, and decided to go back to school to study bio chemistry. While studying, she enjoyed listening to music and came across a composer on YouTube that took her breath away. She contacted him and started a conversation. One thing led to another and he asked if she would be interested in singing and improvising on some of his tracks.

In early 2013,  Aeralie decided it was time to try a move to L.A. With $200.00 in her pocket, she packed up everything she could fit in her car and set out on a new journey and path in life. The rest is history.....

Since that time, she has worked on projects for companies such as Xbox, Warner/Chappell,  Disney, Breakwater Motion Pictures, Jaguar, and has worked on video games (several in the Asian market being released in December 2014), TV commercials, movie scores, and a number of movie trailers. She is currently working as a featured solo vocalist on several motion pictures set to be released in late 2015/2016.

Aeralie is best known for the XBOX game,  "Ori and the Blind Forest", where she is the featured solo vocal, character voice talent, and also created the language that is used in the game, which is scheduled for release in December 2014, and has worked with wonderful people, such as Gareth Coker and Inon Zur (Rift, and various other games set to be released early 2015), just to name a few. 

In a very short amount of time, she has made an incredible impact with her talent and creativity, and we anxiously await to see her bright future unfold before us!!
