Formerly known as project Essence, Celestial Aeon Project (homepage with mp3 downloads) is a Finnish orchestral soundtrack project of a hobbyist composer Matti Paalanen (Last.fm user Michikawa). This project follows the footsteps of Danny Elfman, Jeremy Soule and Hans Zimmer, consisting of various atmospheres and feelings. The project carried the name Essence until 9.6.2006. Because of this, mp3s with old tags can be found roaming the Internet.

Originally songs were produced by Matti to be used as background music during pen and paper roleplaying game sessions. Matti Paalanen is also partly responsible for the soundtrack of the upcoming PC game project Ultima IX Redemption.

You can find Matti’s music homepage here.

Awakening and Caverns are available via mikseri.net songlist: http://www.mikseri.net/artists/?id=48147, Atmosphere is strangely enough listed on the Warehouse of Distant Dreams project list on it's mikseri.net page. Angels Tear reprise is not currently served as I forgot to upload it on the main batch, I try to set it up asap.

Say, Michikawa: As a rabid fan of Celestial Aeon Project, I am trying to locate all the songs you have released under that moniker, but there are four that elude me: Angels Tear Reprise, Atmosphere, Awakening, and Caverns. Where can I download those? P.S. I LOVE your new picture; it looks a lot better than the old one.

The albums are quite randomly put up because I've released the tunes as mp3s straight on the net and no physical versions exist yet. However, Last.fm requires music to be set up as albums, so I've tried to make up something. Some of the tunes are not yet on last.fm and hence do not belong to any virtual albums.
