New song, first in series of film music
2009-05-31 15:49:57
I put up a new song today, in a film score style. This is the first in a series of pieces that will be used as part of a demo reel. I've already done lots of theme music, now I am going for something you would hear in a film. This first piece is both happy and sad at the same time, and features piano and strings.

Well, after several months of mixing, overdubs, editing, and more mixing, the new Cirrus Bay album is finally finished and has been sent off for duplication. This is a really cool old-school influenced prog rock album, definitely worth checking out!
New (old) Kindness Grew Up song recorded
2009-01-22 22:14:29
I have finished the song "memory", which I started writing in late 2007. I will likely go back and re-record some of the vocals, but this is very close to the final version. It will be included in the upcoming Kindness Grew Up album "Secondhand Daylight". No release date is set as of yet...because this is the first finished song. As others are finished they will be posted on the website
An update on current projects
2009-01-19 08:25:13
Since several people have asked why there haven't been many audio samples posted lately, here is the rundown of what I have been working on:
Earlier in the year I wrote and filmed a short musical about composting at the University of Washington (It won an award, so I guess I should be calling it an "award winning musical"). That was followed by several video entries into Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible Competition (one of those entries, Mr. Terrible, won the competition, and was included in the worldwide DVD release.
Currently, I am working on several album projects, including the new Cirrus Bay album (which I am playing drums and bass on, as well as recording and mixing), an album for folk singer Virginia Blashill, several songs with Donovan Richards (on which I am producing, as well as playing drums, bass, and some keys), and then I am also working on some of my own stuff.
I should have the final version of the Kindness Grew Up song "Memory" finished within the next couple of weeks. Right now it just needs the vocals recorded and a couple of small edits before mixing.
My notebook is filled with other ideas, including a set of short musicals about zombies, another dozen or so songs for both the Kindness Grew Up and They Are Deadly Sparkles albums, and the beginning of my demo reel for film scores.
