Hello!

It's been a minute since I've been on here (almost 11 years to be exact!) Hope you all had a great holiday. I do want to start using this page to keep people who care about what I do updated. Over the last few years I have been very busy with my band Blue Light Effect and my solo post rock project Echoes Across The Sky for which I just released a new record on 11/15 called "Letters from the Heavens." Of course I also continue with my music licensing journey as well. Below are some links to hear what I have been up to. Happy New Year! \m/ https://soundcloud.com/craigsiegelbaum

Happy "Day One!"

Happy "Day One!" Hope you all had a great holiday season and a wonderful New Year! Yes my new album is finally available! I'm thrilled to have it out. It's hard to believe it's been almost 3 1/2 years since I released "The Space Of Sound." A lot has happened since then. I spent most of 2013 working on it. For better or worse I did it all myself and I'm very proud of it. I want to thank everyone that always supported what I do. Next on the agenda is you can expect 2 new Half Circle Drive songs to be out early this year. We are currently in the studio once again with David Caggiano and look forward to getting that out and hopefully more licensing opportunies. After that I plan on working on a full length Echoes Across The Sky album. Hopefully that will be out sometime this year. Thank you again! -Craig

Day One

I know it's been a while since I've posted on here. I've spent most of 2013 writing/recording my first solo instrumental album in over 3 years. It's finally finished and it's called "Day One." I spent many hours on it, I hope you like it. Right now it is available at It will be available on iTunes,Amazon,and all those good places soon. So please support this album. 2013 has been another great year of music licensing. Myself and my band Half Circle Drive have enjoyed a bunch of placements from American Idol to MLB Network to Food Network,Opie & Anthony,Cartoon Network,A&E,the list goes on! 2014 is shaping up to be another busy year. HCD will be entering the studio soon to record some new music. I will also be starting work on another Echoes Across The Sky recording. For those of you not familiar with Echoes,it's another solo project of mine with a very different sound so I decided to give it a band name. If you haven't picked up the debut EP you can download for free on bandcamp. Finally,I want to wish everyone a great holiday season and very happy and healthy new year! -Craig

Update: 2012

A lot has happened since I last checked in here. First and foremost I became a Dad!!! By far the most challenging and amazing experience of my life. Second, I achieved something else that I had always dreamed of doing. Scoring a film and seeing it in a theater with an audience! That's right I wrote the score to the independent film called "Unseen" (from Writer/Director Peter Tedone). The film has been very well received. It has been accepted into several film festivals and has been nominated for multiple awards! I had the pleasure of seeing the film during the Long Island Film Festival. Wow what a great experience! I hope to do more of it in the future. BTW the soundtrack is available at iTunes and Amazon. Next,Is my newest recording project. I would put it in the "post rock" genre. Completely instrumental not a lot of guitar(believe it or not) If you like or have heard of bands like The American Dollar,The Echelon Effect,and God Is An Astronaut,you will dig this. I plan on giving it a band name and hope to have it out before the end of the year. Can't wait for people to hear it. My band Half Circle Drive continues to write and will be looking to record new material in the very near future. Hope you had a chance to check out our latest EP "Shine Through." Finally, I hope to get started on a new solo record. There WILL be LOTS of guitars on this one. That's it from here. Hope you are enjoying your summer. Thanks for listening! -Craig
