Wanting to do a lot of things in life is tough. Prioritizing things can be difficult. But I know what I want to do, but I also know what will enable me to do what I want. Unfortunately, right now those are two separate things. Music is a part of my life, and will continue [...]
The Real Adventures of Zetaman Episode 2 will be released sometime tomorrow. The producer and I are still hashing out some score issues, i.e. I haven’t delivered yet. This may turn into a very long night. Hopefully not, though. I’m fairly pleased with things overall. Once things are done, I’ll post here a commentary on [...]
I’ve finished the main composing part of this album. Now comes the more difficult parts: editing & art production. Some notes: 1) This is definitely in two “parts”, so the listener can mix & match at their whim. 2) Within those two halves, the tracks will flow from one to the other. 3) As I’ve [...]
I’ve transferred the original audio files from my first two “albums” to my working computer. Man, it’s been a while since I listened to any of these tracks. I plan on re-releasing them as CDs soon. I’ll probably go the Lulu.com route as there’s less outlay on my end, and I can just upload the [...]
…Kickstart.com is the place to go. Sounds very interesting. I just may use it for future (or possibly current) projects.
I’ve reached the halfway mark, i.e. about 23′ in. It’s interesting how for this project I need to not compose in my “usual” style, yet there are moments where my voice just has to be heard. Those of you reading this who know of my choral works, either from singing them or hearing them, will [...]
One of the first questions I need to answer when I’m writing something, especially when it comes to writing to picture, is the target tempo. Most of the time I’ll set up my sequencer’s metronome to sound while I’m recording–that way I’m somewhat close to the beats and/or beat divisions I need to hit. With [...]
After a long, dark–well, not actually dark since it was sunny & warm–weekend, it’s time for me to get back to work. While web development pays the day-to-day bills, music is what I want to do most. It calls me all the time, yet I either ignore it or figure it’s something I’ll get to [...]
I have a fairly large back catalog of choral music that I wrote several years ago. It is an ensemble form that I plan on revisiting in the future. However, those scores do me no good sitting unused in the computer. So I’m going to release them. All of them. It’ll take some time, going [...]
So my friend Will’s mother has recommended / asked for a CD of music for massage, as, from what I understand, she owns and operates a massage parlor in Hawaii. We crunched the numbers this morning and found it fairly reasonable to produce 25 CDs that would be shipped there, not only for her own [...]
