It’s renewed! big fonts, the Forum page is larger and it’s a lot easier to navigate and jump between the topics. If you are interested, just send me an email or leave a comment here. Don’t miss this exposure opportunity!

New Moderators will help actual Moderators managing the Forum categories but I plan to create also new categories, so the Forum will expand.

If you have ideas for new categories, please tell me in your message, and we can study together the proposal.

I’ve added a second column to the left, there’s more content, more articles links and more of everything!! The Blog is also FASTER thanks to a new cache system!

Before writing this post I fixed all needed to be fixed and the Blog is wonderful now!! Please tell me your ideas about this new Monster Blog

I’ll keep sticky this update for a while, but there will be tons of new articles after this one, so check the next articles every day.

So I updated adding a new webradio with lounge, chillout, new age and smooth jazz music. It’s the music I love when reading blogs and forums, it relaxes a lot, facilitate meditation, help focusing.

You’ll see that the music doesn’t start automatically for Listen to Music Online page. I think would be difficult to listen to both chillout music and also my soundtracks at the same time.

If you want back the lounge music, just click on “home” and the homepage will appear, the plugin will start automatically.

Last but not least, I updated the Forum page. Now you can post in the forum as guest, without registering first.

I’ve seen that many would like to reply but don’t have time for registering. Ok, now I hope to see the Forum exploding of your messages (probably not) Have fun and enjoy the Blog!

Ok, let’s start then.

Listen to Music Online

The first page is the Music Demos page here at ManuelMarino.com.

You can find it also in the top bar, title is of course Listen to Music Online.

In this page I’ve collected the latest tracks I’ve produced in 2009, mainly orchestral and film music, but there is also Astronauts and Funk Music whis is a mix of different styles, from choral to jazz, pop and funk.

Still want to listen to music online? There is my new Official page at Manuel Marino Official, with mp3 demos and excerpts from games soundtracks I created.

You can access also to my Free Mp3 Player.

This Mp3 Player contains mixes from old tracks, mainly 1999 produced tracks, and later years.

These tracks come from my old archive of my CD’s published on Mp3.com in those years but there are also independent demos made just for fun and to show my talent as composer and producer.

After Mp3.com experience, I focused on games soundtracks and you can listen to some of them through my MarinoSounds.com Studio page.

To listen to music just check the pages of the multimedia projects listed in the homepage.

Last but not least, MarinoSounds.com has been totally renewed, new graphics and new design. There is also a new logo saying Blasting your mind with unique sounds.

In few words: Music, Arts, People and Ideas.

What links all these words together? It’s not difficult. But first let’s begin studying the term “artist”. It means “One, such as a painter, sculptor, or writer, who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value”, but also “A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill”.

If we agree that whenever we have exceptional ideas and we are able to create from them a work of aesthetic value we can be considered “artists” then you know what links all those words together: creativity, the ability or power to create.

And on these pages you’ll read about Arts in general, and much about Music (my world), about Ideas and People who had them and created through them… and about You, yes about You, reader, because maybe you don’t know, but there’s an Artist somewhere, think about it… somewhere inside yourself.
