Sightings February 26, 2010 - One of my favorite films

"Luke's Kitchen" is now available on YouTube!

Don't forget Part 2.
Brilliant documentary, methinks.

Music February 22, 2010 - Video Game Developers!

I just did a series of 4 pieces.
You can get them here.

Chee Zee Beach
Chee Zee Jungle
Chee Zee Lab
Chee Zee Cave

These are all designed for background music for video games, but they can be used for anything you like!
These pieces extend to any length because they loop cleanly.

Music February 12, 2010 - New Software Tests

Just loaded up some new EastWest software, and I've been trying some things in between my other project. Here's a couple of pieces.

Nu Flute
Consort for Brass

Cheers.

Sightings January 27, 2010 - Musical Preview

The opening piece to Black Peter - The musical was just put online!

Check it out - it is a decent performance, and will be coming to an Off Off Broadway venue in New York later this year!

Music January 26, 2010 - Epics and Orchestrals... and also Bach

Agnus Dei X - everyone's favorite part of the Latin mass. Rich-beyond-reason arrangement.

Second Coming - no percussion - lush orchestra-only mix.

Ranz des Vaches - that one morning tune from the cartoons... from Rossini. Very well produced, if I must say so myself!

Sinfonia Number 5 - quick harpsichord rendering of the Bach 3-part invention.

Also added:
- Half Bit (electronic fun loop)
- Poofy Reel (acoustic quirk)
- New Direction (electronic ambient)
- Space Fighter Loop (hybrid excitement)
- Robo-Western (hybrid uptempo)


And 2 new additions to the Tenebrous Bros. Carnival!
- Tenebrous Brothers Carnival - Mermaid
- Tenebrous Brothers Carnival - Snake Lady


Music January 17, 2010 - Not on the Map

This is a giant 48 minute piece. It is super ambient, and very simple. Due to its large size, this piece will not make it into my main catalog.


Please feel free to redistribute this piece to anyone for any reason.

I'm releasing this under the Creative Commons: By Attribution license in reaction to what's going on in Malaysia and other places. Authorized agents (such as those for ASCAP and BMI) have been shaking down businesses for not paying performance fees for music in their stores.
Do they have the right to do that? Sure.

And I have the right to release music for free that anyone may use. I can't fight bad copyright laws in countries where I am not... but I can help take money out of the existing model by undercutting them on price and ease of use.

This one is for spas and other relaxation-based areas.

Cheers, all!


Wood and Metal and Water

Music December 29, 2009 - The Romantics

I get requests for "romantic" music a lot. For me, this seems like an oddly general request - given all of the forms romance takes.

Here are a few takes on it... all wildly different.

The Parting
Resignation
Thinking of You

Music December 29, 2009 - Comedic Scenes in Two Flavors

First is the light-hearted sneaky/quiet adventure/hushed argument type of pizzicato string thing...

Umbrella Pants
Investigations
Sneaky Adventure

And then the more upbeat oblivious hero kind of comedy thingee...

Happy Boy - 2 files, 3 themes.
