Breakup - Breakthrough Compilation

Two of the coolest artists we’ve worked with have recently gone through breakups. From places like heartbreak, inspiration, anger or liberation, some of the best songs and works of art have taken form. Both Heather Catalinich (Sparklebritches) and Zack Vieira have tapped into this inward space where masterpieces are formed. Sound Arts has, not only had the opportunity to work with both Zack and Heather, but plans to put together a release sometime around January 2009 with songs and recordings pertaining to the contrast of breakup and breakthrough.

Check out these tracks in the works:

“Mean Song” - Zack Vieira

“Call it in the Air” - Sparklebritches
