Benefits & Reviews
November 2007
If you haven't checked out our reviews page, please do so. People are starting to say exciting things about our cd,
Apart From The Rest. We have been reviewed thus far by two very prestigious entities: Sea of Tranquility, the web portal for information, news, and reviews
related to the worlds of progressive rock, various forms of metal, and fusion music and Progression Magazine, a quarterly journal of progressive music.
And on November 11, esthema performed as part of the 12th Boston Turkish Festival at MIT's Kresge Auditorium. The concert was a
benefit for the Manavoglu Family who lost their father and husband to an armed robber.
For those that couldn't make it to the show, we have posted some pictures below.


Some might be asking themselves who is the new guy in the pictures.
Meet Ignacio Long.
Check him out on musicians page.
He is esthema's new bass player and we welcome him and hope you do also. Ignacio, born in Argentina, is a Berklee
graduate in Film Score and Composition. We have been working with him over the last few months and are very excited at
what we are hearing.
One last note...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
September in NYC
September 2007
September was an exciting month for Esthema. First, we got to welcome Carl back who was home in Colorado for the
summer. Second, we had our first gig at Mickey Bliss's new Club Bohemia downstairs at The Cantab in Central Square,
Cambridge (check out the you tube link below of consequence for live footage from the Cantab).
And finally, Esthema made
their first trip to NYC to perform in the Lower East Side at the Fat Baby. You can check out excerpts
from the performance posted by Tery on youtube. Check back soon
for some pictures.
Summer's End
The summer of 2007 has come to an end, but before we say goodbye to it forever, esthema wants to thank Rob Doherty for his help
this summer on the drums while Carl was back at home in Colorado. Great drummer, great person...I also want to thank all esthemians for
making it out to one of our many gigs...we had a great time and hope you did also.
If you get a chance, check out youtube
for some video clips posted by Tery. This first is from our gig at the All Asia performing
distance and the second is from our gig at the Cantab
performing consequence.

Taking it Easy
June 2007
In June, esthema took it easy. We only had one gig booked at the Sky Bar in Somerville, MA. I have included some pictures courtesy of Erin Beasley.

The real work in June was done by our Art Director & Graphic/Web Designer
Rebecca Fagan of fagandesign.
She finished the CD artwork and prepared it for duplication.
Esthema sincerely thanks Rebecca for her artistic vision and work. The CD release is slotted for early July…
Mastering & More
May 2007
May was a crazy month for Esthema.
With four gigs taking us on a week long whirlwind tour of Somerville
and Cambridge, we got to work on our live show and had a great time doing
so. Check out some of the pictures we got at our All Asia show on May

We have also included some live shots on our photos page.
In addition to our gigs, we finished mastering our first cd, apart

In The Studio
February 2007
On Saturday, February 24 we made our way up to Squam
Sound Studio in Ashland,
New Hampshire to start work on our demo and what will hopefully
amount to our first CD. We worked on six tunes all together, consequence,
distance, erimos, for whom? for me, finding my way, and apart from
the rest. While there, we took some picture to share the experience
with everybody. Keep a look out for more news about the CD (and
other things)…sound clips will be coming soon. Thanks.
