2/8/08: Kerry has just returned from Texas where he has been filming his first motion picture, "The Imposter". Written by Director Dan Millican, it stars Kevin Max as a fallen Pop Star, and Kerry as "Proff", who tries to turn his life around.

Kerry comments: "I never for a moment thought that I would be doing this now. I had set aside these winter months to make serious headway on several studio projects.

When I was asked to play a prominent role in the movie, my initial reaction was a quick no. Aside from the fact that I have no previous acting experience, I was very busy. But I read the script, then read it again, and finally decided it was worth the adventure. At very least, this is an interesting trip into the world of cinema, and I am learning a lot. Still plan to finish all that music though..."

12/18/07: We are now offering a special custom CD: "Decade Vol. II".
(yes, it's here before Vol. I) It contains all of the songs from the Time Line album, but not the bonus tracks in the original Decade release. (they are included in Kerry's "Best Of' album). Two of the tracks have been re-mixed and enhanced, and all have been re-mastered. Available only on our order page.

11/21/07: NEW CD RELEASE!
The Collector's Sedition (the Director's Cut) is finished and is now in stock. This is not just a re-issue, it is a (nearly) complete re-recording of the album. Get a complete description HERE.


8/1/07: Work continues on the new Proto-Kaw recording. There is a wealth of music for this project. In between, studio work continues on Kerry's other projects as well.

1/30/07: Work has begun on a new Proto-Kaw recording. The original idea was for the band to record a CD of selections from Kerry's previous solo CD's - ProtoKaw style. Though the idea has not been abandoned, a lot of new material has been written as well, and the album will likely be a mix. More as it develops.

1/22/07: Kerry just returned from the NAMM show in Anaheim. He met with many of his instrument companies and made several appearances and interviews .

10/1/06: "The Prime Mover II" CD has been missing from our catalog lately. That has been remedied and we now have it in stock once again.

8/28/06: Kerry has begun work on a new project - a sequel to his instrumental CD "One of Several Possible Musiks". The new work will also be (mostly) instrumental and will be titled "Several More Musiks". Work on the album will be concurrent with the Cantata. No release date announced.

6/30/06: We have a new version of A.D.'s "Reconstructions" CD available now. It has been re-mastered and features a new graphics package. A word about "re-mastering" - Some labels exploit this as a reason to buy a CD again that you already have. Re-mastering can be a dramatic improvement - or it may be very subtle. Because audio technology is constantly improving, Kerry re-mastered Reconstructions for a new production run and it is a subtle improvement over the previous version. If you already have the CD, there is no pressing need to purchase it again, unless perhaps you are an "audiophile", or just an avid collector....

6/18/06: More of Numavox/Kerry Livgren on iTunes - "AD Live" and "One of Several Possible Musiks" have been uploaded to iTunes and should soon be ready for download. Once again, the best procedure on iTunes is to do a PowerSearch by album title. "AD Live" is NOT available on CD and is an exclusive to iTunes.

4/21/06: More on iTunes....Almost all of Kerry's work is now available on iTunes. Only "One of Several Possible Musiks" is still missing and it will be uploaded soon. To access the albums, do a search for "Livgren".
To find the AD albums you must select "Power Search", and search for the album by name, such as "Reconstructions" or "Art of the State".



3/25/06: We get many inquiries about Kerry's Cantata. Kerry Livgren essentially finished composing his Cantata in 2001, an effort spanning over twenty years. (The word "finished" is carefully chosen, knowing the composer's penchant for re-working compositions) Unfortunately it keeps getting put on the "back burner" as other album projects materialize.

The Cantata is quite unlike anything he has composed before, yet has musical characteristics that will be recognizable as his work. "The closest thing I can compare it to, if I must make a comparison, is a modern musical production like "Les Miserables".

The Cantata's full title is "Cantata: The Resurrection of Lazarus", and is based on the Biblical account in the Gospel of John. The production work continues - the orchestration, casting, recording, etc., with , as Kerry says, "a cast of thousands". We're not yet ready to announce a date..

3/24/06: New Numavox Website - if you're here, that's obvious!

1/30/06: Proto-Kaw's "The Wait of Glory" Released in the USA.
(Inside Out Music)

1/28/06: Proto-Kaw Returns from their first European Tour, after concerts in Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Switzerland.
