We’ve all been fairly busy (both Sekrett Scilensce and the Licensing Team) to get things rolling with Ss’s latest (International) recordings. On the table at the moment are a few negotiations with some companies based out of Tokyo, as well as some more talks with MMP Publishing as the demo-readings for “The Road Avenger” (Novel) near completion. We will be posting another update in a few days so check back pronto. As well, don’t forget to check-out March 2009’s free public demo of, “Entertainment’s Death Is Near”. http://www.sekrettscilensce.com/features/mar2009/index.html Thanks for stopping by and we hope you enjoy our free releases and breaking updates. *****

  The question: “Is entertainment’s death near?” – Many are wondering, but no one knows. Not the film executives, record label owners, musicians, actors, how-to jockeys; nobody -- More importantly, where are all of the great productions, music, covering this very issue? Where is all the emotion spoken of but unheard? (Is it lost?)   These debates, arguments, segmented rationalities for the sake of seeming like you’re ahead of the other guy aren’t solutions -- People who love to be entertained don’t exist in one frame of mind. They are willing to take a chance on greatness and or things that are obscure to the norm, but the norm for many of the entertainers is to ponder why, so then what?   How about a song? A song about the very thing that everyone bickers over but no one wants to create from. A song that doesn’t answer or adhere; a song that simply satisfies the artist’s urge to produce and the listener’s urge to be taken on an adventure. It isn’t rocket science (but it isn’t the norm either). Take a journey to the universe where it’s already done and passed.   Sekrett Scilensce’s: “Entertainment’s Death Is Near” (an Electro-Metal crossover experience)   Highly recommended if you like music by ‘The Scorpions’, ‘Def Leppard’, or ‘Sammy Hagar’ *****   <Go download this Feature Now>   * * * * *

“Entertainment’s Death is near” – There’s debates, arguments, resolutions, even how-to guides about where entertainment is, will stand; will evolve…but here is my question, “Where is all the great music addressing the issue?” – We can all say he-she, them-they, but what about us, our emotions, and most importantly, our expressionism? Check-back to find out more.

First preliminary interview for ‘The Road Avenger’ (Novel) coming up at SEGA-16 on Tuesday February 24th, 2009 – New ‘Metal’ music well underway; don’t miss your chance to get a full sneak peak; join the demo-club and await the goodies in your inboxes between now and the first two weeks of March. As well, don’t miss the next installment from the “Devil’z Hide” series titled, “I Dreamt Redemption”.

I’m currently waiting for some tracks to render, then I’m going to get started on three new concepts I came up with last night; I’m as well going to nourish some pre-edits on some written materials that Mary’s passed along to me (hopefully, she’ll dispel my intentions to add more cowbell to my songs).

Though pressure grows against some of my more politically directed music, I vow only to serve it, moving onto the next great idea – What can I say? (Really) – Many times I’m asked (or even demanded) to refrain from being lyrically (musically) poignant and frankly, what positive edge could that possibly have to my creativity? – I had a Caesar salad today and it was quite well.

Green-Light Received for 'The Road Avenger' Novel; 'Road Blaster' Roars Into 2009 in MMP Publishing's Novelization of the 1985 Data East Video-Game Classic Based on the 1985 Data-East Laserdisc Feature 'Road Blaster,' G-Mode of Japan Has Given a Green-Light to MMP Publishing's "The Road Avenger" novel, to Be Released in 2009 SAINT CHARLES, MO -- (MMP Publishing - January 13, 2009) - Based on the 1985 Data-East laserdisc feature "Road Blaster," G-Mode of Japan has given a green-light to MMP Publishing's "The Road Avenger" novel, to be released in 2009. Written by Mary Margaret Park (author and poet) and co-produced by Sekrett Scilensce (composer and producer), "The Road Avenger" is the story of Blake Sanders, a man whose destiny is forever changed when a gang known as S.C.U.M. (Secret Criminal Underground Movement) slay his wife. Methodically promoting anarchy and the breakdown of society, S.C.U.M. seeks to hold the world hostage, devouring one city at a time. Before the reader's eyes are the politicians and behind the lies, there's the S.C.U.M. -- Blindly avenging a love once known, "The Road Avenger" must decide what is right -- In spite of his wishes to remain an honorable member of humanity, Blake treads the fine lines between virtue and dishonor. "The original concept is 'Mad Max' like," author Mary Margaret Park explained, "So we've decided to make 'The Road Avenger' a psychological action drama, which will end up like a cross between 'Mad Max,' 'Ronin,' and Steven Soderbergh's 'Traffic.' Though we are expanding on a simple plotline, we are straying far from the typical Hollywood attitudes that engulf many fine stories." Licensors in Tokyo were pleased and gave the project a thumbs-up -- A total of four chapters were showcased in a mock 6x9 binding, emulating the look and feel of the finished product. Fans of "Road Blaster" (a.k.a. "Road Avenger" in the U.S.A.) can visit http://www.theroadavenger.com to obtain more details about the novelization and are encouraged to join the demo club.

The company was in operation from 1976 to 2003, when it declared bankruptcy. Data East was founded by Tetsuo Fukuda on April 20, 1976 as an electronic engineering company which focused on integrating interchangeable tapes inside arcade game devices, allowing video game operators to replace a game from a machine without having to replace the cabinet itself. Realizing the money that could be made within the interactive content, Data East began developing arcade video games in 1979 and established a U.S division. By 1985, Data East had shifted away from interchangeability to concentrate themselves on video games only. ### Contact: MMP Publishing (314) 583-0738 ----------

No promises, but there might be a possibility of hitting some regional outlets without any need for everyone to always wait for email updates. And now, peace and quiet (not)!

Sekrett Scilensce and Mary Margaret Park En Español…? Sí…..

Sekrett Scilensce and Mary Margaret Park will begin test-marketing their untitled Spanglish music project, reviving the swing ballroom ranchera sound with elements of jazz metal fusion.

New York, NY (MMP Publishing) December 15, 2008 – Sekrett Scilensce (Ss) and Mary Margaret Park will begin test-marketing their untitled Spanglish music project, reviving the swing ballroom ranchera sound with elements of jazz metal fusion.

Described as the end result when placing, “The Latin Breed”, “Laura Canales”, and “Jay Perez” into a blender, the songs, “Aqui No Puedo Me Hacer” (Sekrett Scilensce) and “Donde Voy Estar” (Mary Margaret Park), are hoped to be a portal into the past and a leap into the future.

“I think the sixties and seventies Latin fusion sound which was blended with the upbeat polka time signature was a fascinating style of jazzy, mid tempo ballad music.” Sekrett Scilensce explained, “I always liked the progressive variations on the swing ballroom ranchera, so I’m excited to present my take on this music style and hope that listeners are taken back and brought forward in a pioneering spirit all at once.”

Arriving on the heels of discussions concerning adapting selections from their collaborative music catalogues for Japanese audiences, Sekrett Scilensce and Mary Margaret Park present their Spanglish crossover music to further compliment a series of regionalized recordings, set to debut throughout the years 2009 and 2012.

“Whether it’s the high octane drumming of bands like The Latin Breed or the dreamy psychedelic feel in Laura Canales’s music, the Chicano sound will almost always be a dominant hybrid of the Latino music world.” Mary Margaret Park said, “When Ss said, let’s do Spanish music, I knew it’d be challenging while upbeat and fun. When I listened to the end result, I couldn’t help but think about how it all sounds so familiar but yet still very distinctive, so we’re excited to see how our songs are met.”

Latin music lovers interested in becoming test-audience members for these music releases can visit http://www.sekrettscilensce.com/ee (or http://www.marymargaretpark.com/ee should they encounter errors) and use the form provided.

Upon completing the form, participants will be forwarded a link to download the full-version MP3’s in exchange for their impressions regarding how the songs would be best described to audiences world-wide. These MP3’s contain no DRM-protection and are intended for participants to keep as a token of appreciation for their participation.

MMP Publishing to merge distribution of 2009 catalogues with Sekrett Scilensce of America

MMP Publishing and Sekrett Scilensce of America will merge their Q1 and Q2 distribution of catalogues for 2009 under Kuneo Koei’s North-American release-roster

New York, NY (MMP Publishing) December 15, 2008 – MMP Publishing and Sekrett Scilensce of America will merge their Q1 and Q2 distribution of catalogues for 2009 under Kuneo Koei’s North-American release-roster.

The decision, which arrived upon the heels of larger developments between signature Artists Mary Margaret Park (Author and Poet) and Sekrett Scilensce (Composer and Producer), aims to signify the growth of the two entities, particularly to core licensors of their Written-works and Audio-works presentations.

“Sekrett Scilensce has expressed disinterest with many virtual based music licensing methodologies.” said Yotsov Koraep, a licensing-administrator of Sekrett Scilensce, “He would much rather see his music licensed to those that require his services privately, and continue to stray from the sectors of catalogue-publishing which strip Artists of their overall integrity.”

Alongside these labors, Sekrett Scilensce has decided to attach longtime collaborator, Mary Margaret Park’s, titles into the overall combination of content to be provided beginning in 2009.

“Sekrett Scilensce’s approach to collaboratively presenting productions is apart from traditional standards.” Author and Poet Mary Margaret Park (MMP Publishing) explained, “It is a blend of test-marketing methods combined with licensing and niche-retail acquirements, so I’m excited to see steadier growth in 2009.”

Official developments which have led to the marriage of MMP Publishing’s and Sekrett Scilensce of America’s 2009 merged catalogue debuts have ranged from G-Mode (of Japan)’s approval for the Artists to adapt a novel from a 1985 Data-East laserdisc feature, as well as the collaborative literature project titled, “Shadow Cure”, in which Sekrett Scilensce serves as co-producer to Mary Margaret Park’s label.
