The official collection of fully-authorized, pre-release audio and video downloadables from the album View. Designed to whet the public appetite, increase demand, and hype the record right out of any reasonable expectations.

Feel free to scroll down to the bottom and get legit if you like what you hear.


View Multimedia Trailer

Why settle for just plain audio when you can have a full-blown Hollywood-style movie trailer for premium hype effect? The View "trailer," first uploaded in early September, 2003, features the first look at the CD artwork, as well as album audio in montage-style for modern enjoyment. Movie design by—who else—Katy Towell.

You'll need Flash Player 6 in order to see it. Don't have it? It's available
for free download by clicking HERE.

Audio Montage Trailer Soundtrack

You're one of those old-school types who prefers audio-only entertainment. For you, our quaint friends, we made an .mp3 version of the trailer's soundtrack. Perfect for playing over and over again while counting down the days to pre-sale and actual release. Think of it as an audio montage, and create your own mental images to go along with it. Don't worry, it's OK to keep them to yourself.

 

"Seven Percent Grade" (5:31)

If the album had anything resembling a "single," this rock-fusion instrumental would be it. Fully authorized for pre- and post-release date download.

guitar - Rick Musallam
piano - Mike Keneally
drums - Joe Travers
bass - Bryan Beller


"See You Next Tuesday"
(4:11)

music by Bryan Beller
© 2003 Panorama Ataraxia Music BMI

The track that reunited the '96 Keneally trio, with a dark, angry, intense vibe germane to this combination of musical forces. Featuring Keneally playing freakishly difficult rock/bebop lines on baritone guitar.

In May of 2003, while in Holland playing with Steve Vai and the Metropole Orchestra, Creative Catalyst Co de Kloet granted me a special honor—an hour-long program on the Dutch radio station NPS, where we discussed View in graphic detail and played selected tracks from the album. It remains to the day of this posting (April 2005) the only such program I've ever done. To get the audio, wait for the page to load completely, then click on Media/Links, then choose Real for Real Player of WM for Windows Media Player.


Rear View Mirror


An officially sanctioned post-release gaggle of downloadable audio from the making of View. We're talking demos of each full-band track, plus behind-the-scenes candid audio as the tracking went down in April-June of 2003. Released in installments, and exclusively at bryanbellerdotcom.


Interview with Randy Allar of WCSB


A 20-minute Beller phone interview done during the weeks leading up to the release date for View. The interviewer is Randy Allar, a long-time supporter of independent artists and outside-the-mainstream music in general. The .MP3 file size is 4.2 MB. (Check out the station on the internet at www.wcsb.org.)


Interview with "Gruno" of Guilty Pleasures

Another 20-minute Beller phone interview done during the pre-release promo blitz, but this one had a twist to it: the interview was conducted by a charter member of Team Burl Core, LLC (Respect Division). References to a "chat room" refer to a live chat that ran during the interview on the Dividing Line network website (www.thedividingline.com), where Gruno's "Guilty Pleasures" show is hosted. The .MP3 file size is 3.1 MB.

Bryan Beller View Backgrounds
