The Eclipsed Sounds startup will be a new pathway for fans to purchase English VOCALOID character merchandise, and will develop into a physical store with space for synth music lessons, concerts and collaboration. Eclipsed Sounds will begin as an online retailer utilizing Kickstarters to build a fanbase, before growing into a larger online retailer to provide design-of-the-month offerings as limited run products. After moving out of the “pre-order” phase, the company will offer in person sales at large Anime and Music Conventions and online sales of fan-art. We are collaborating with artists who do not routinely sell their products online to provide greater access to their amazing work.

The vision we have is to spread the love of western vocal synthesis among fans of the eastern voicebanks in a similar way the Japanese companies have marketed their products, by providing merchandise featuring well-loved characters, such as Dex, Daina and Ruby. This will grow the use of Engloids as more people are introduced to the endless possibilities in vocal synth music. Both Zero-G and Power FX have given written permission for us to provide new merchandise to you.

Eclipsed Sounds is physically located in the Washington, D.C. area, so our next phase will be visiting conventions and events up and down the East Coast. We also have big plans to host special events in less expensive venues to teach and collaborate on music projects. Synth music production is used professionally, but we hope to build the community of producers and artists of all levels, and explore together the capabilities of computer generated sounds.
