11 June 2008 - 'Awakening' Autumn Release
It's decided. 'Awakening' is set to be released (in CD and digital format) at the end of September. I'm working hard on it, currently at a rate of one song per week so hope to have samples up soon. For more detailed information on how this project is going, among other things, you can join the mailing list and receive a weekly newsletter. :)
'The Cocoon' is, realistically, not going to be ready until next Spring because I hate to rush this project, but I do have some new songs which I'm halfway through recording so you may hear them soon... so it's not ALL bad.
30 May 2008 - I'M BACK!
Gosh, it's been a while. Many of you may be aware that I've not been a very happy bunny for the past 9 months, in case you wondered why you haven't seen or heard much from me - I won't go into the sordid details! I can tell you that my creative drive is back in action and I'm working hard again. To make up for lost time, I have been writing one song per day this week, and so I now have four new pieces of The Cocoon waiting to be recordedand mixed (and that soundcard - which I finally ordered this morning - will be here on Monday so the plan is to get some serious recording time in next week).
Other news: INSIDE MYSELF / ONCE UPON A TIME is due for a second run next week and will be available for purchase again by the end of June! I'll post further information on that when the CDs are ready.
And other other news: I'm working on a couple of indie video game soundtracks at the moment. I'll keep you posted on that when progress is made. :-)
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing ok! Drop me an email sometime, keep me entertained! :D Big smiles~~~

10 January 2008 - Cocoon Project
Most of it is presentable now, so here you go, the Cocoon Project website - The Cocoon Project.
Aside from that, I actually have a job again from Monday (hooray) so I will no longer be impoverished! This is good because I am desperate for that new soundcard so that my new mic cable will be usable, and currently cannot afford it (ah, you must be getting bored of this story!). In brighter news, my precious ears are, for the moment, working fine. :) Happy New Year etcetera!
18 December 2007 - Merry Christmas!
These past months have been horribly draining and my ear problems have been limiting what I can do musically, SO I am a bit behind on what I wanted to have achieved with The Cocoon this year. Perhaps 2008 will be a fresh start for my motivation. :)
Sending love to you all and I hope you all enjoy the festive season, whatever you celebrate.
I've got one new addition to the site - a page all about The Cocoon - although it is very incomplete and contains only poetry at this time. I'll try to get it in a better state this week.
...And hopefully I will manage to get some more track previews up soon because I have been working on a lot of stuff. It's just that I can't manage the mixing or the vocal parts at the moment because I am currently troubled by deafness in my left ear (blockage, not permanent damage or at least I hope not) and it just stresses me out = not fun. :(
17 October 2007 - New Design
Look around, look around! This site has had a mega-makeover...
10 October 2007 - I'm on iTunes!
It's been a long wait, but Inside Myself / Once Upon A Time is finally listed in the iTunes store for download! (And it's just in time, because I am now officially out of copies and need to invest in another duplication run...)
23 September 2007 - Helen Trevillion on CD Baby!
Inside Myself / Once Upon A Time is now available to purchase from CD Baby! :) There are 2 copies left. Gasp. Still not on iTunes, though - I have no idea how long it'll be before I'm listed there. Sorry for the lack of online activity lately! Excuses include a combination of new house, new job and a ridiculous internet connection.
24 August 2007 - A New Website is Born
Welcome to the new location of my music page. I won't be renewing the hosting account for Destiny Hikari. Rather than simply transfer the content to this domain I decided to redesign the entire thing, so here we are. This site should be a lot easier to update. I think the old domain URL http://destiny-hikari.net should continue to work because it has a forwarding property attached to it now. I'm just not hosting anything on that account anymore
This is all still a work in progress, but the basic site should be finished within a day or so. It is a very simple layout, I know... but it does the job. I'll be jazzing it up more in the next couple of weeks, but for now I just can't decide what I want to do with it!
