HISTORY
Cauldron Soundwerx' is based in Dover Foxcroft, Maine USA — a beautiful, historically-rich New England town (the icon in the top of Cauldron Soundwerx website is from before the turn of the 20th century.) We enjoy some of the finest talent our area has to offer, and try to use local businesses whenever possible. Our very own music studios are based in Dover-Foxcroft Maine — a fully Cakewalk SONAR®-based multitrack sound studio — which gives our bands COMPLETE CREATIVE FREEDOM (fancy that!), and allows Cauldron Soundwerx to not only become more involved in quality control of the recording process, but enables Cauldron Soundwerx to devote precious funds to marketing. Cauldron Soundwerx also works with 96 Tears who is newly partnered with Cauldron Soundwerx, who does all of our artwork for CD jewelcases, advertisements and also our web design. 96 Tears can be contacted through this website. JamZor Mastering (www.jamzor.com) does all of Cauldron's music post-production mastering — and is also located right here in New England.
Cauldron Soundwerx was conceived by Scott Martinez of Alice Sweet Alice (ASA) in 2007 when ASA was first founded, and initial organization was established. Having experience back in the 1990's with his band, Autumn Cathedral, and working with industry professionals in northern and southern California managing his band and dealing with other record labels, it seemed like the perfect segue to begin anew with ASA on their own label. Soon after a full lineup was achieved for ASA, and recording began in earnest, Cauldron Soundwerx was put aside as ASA was suddenly offered a contract through Renaissance Records in Arizona, USA. The rush was on to finish ASA's premier release, "First Light". Everything seemed to be going according to plan. At the 11th hour, problems arose, as they sometimes seem to do with even the most established and renowned entities. Before things got out of hand, ASA as a group decided to formally ask to be dropped from the Renaissance roster due to the label's internal issues, but mostly because of threats for setbacks of ASA's musical projects. An amicable seperation was granted, and Cauldron Soundwerx was officially re-born.
