Three new Pieces

This was a sort of a speed composition. 3 pieces, 3 hours each.

It starts out in some thin woods with cows and such, and then rises to great heights before
heading to the second movement – a happy little cloud thing, and finally descending into the darkness with the third movement.

This was quite a fun way to score… I’ve already got some new ideas.

Day of Debugging!

As the DNS continues to propagate across the vasts of the internets, I’m following the error logs and smashing the bugs as they come up! I thought I had everything fixed before I opened the server, clearly this is not the case. so…

Phase One: Repair all of the server errors. These are the things that prevent you from doing the things you want to do. Usually it is fixing paths to libraries that result in 500 Server Errors.

Phase Two: Patch up links. These result in missing images and links to files that don’t exist. I won’t get all of them today (due to MovableType/Wordpress differences), but I’ll get most.

Phase Three: Yeah, probably no Phase Three today.

[EDIT] Oh! Need to get the new Preview Player with better HTML5 support working, so you can browse on your mobile devices! This will still probably not happen today.

[UPDATE] Three hours later, and I think all the server errors are sorted. I also fixed some errors that have been around for… um… years.
Moving to Phase Two!

Looks like over 99% of hits are coming in on the new server, and my email is looking splendid! As of right now there are about 200 people using the site, and it is quite happy. So super thanks to Urgo over at Social Blade for all his server help in this move. Big things are coming, everyone! big things indeed!

This is the NEW SERVER!

If you can see this, congrats – you’re on my brand new server!

I expect a lot of errors in the next couple of days, and I’ll be working hard to quash them.

Also, email may be questionable for the next couple of hours.

New Host

For all the people sending me information about hosts, I’ll help you out with some requirements.
I transfer about 10Tb per month of data. I have been kicked off of several “unlimited” hosting service providers in the past – they were saying that “unlimited” means “reasonably unlimited”, but not actually unlimited.
I need access to the httpd.conf file. My site is not exactly simple, there are a lot of things in there that make it work. Providers with “web site builder” software will not work. (e.g. Squarespace)
I need MySQL. Probably. I might be able to end-around this after I get done with Phase Three of local development.
I need perl, and the ability to install additional perl libraries.
I need PHP… but most everyone has that.
So there you go!

Hosting Provider

Well, it had to happen. My long-time hosting provider Joyent is discontinuing the service I have been using to host this site for many many years, and I need to find a new solution.
So, for the next few weeks at least, there will be no more new music posted here while I completely rewrite the site to be more portable and get it to a new provider. I don’t know who I’ll be using yet, and I don’t know how yet, but I will get it done… somehow.

Disco con Tutti


Disco con Tutti (Disco with Everyone)
I’m cleaning off my Desktop and completing a bunch of projects that I started long ago.
This one has been futzed with for a long time. It started out as loops, and I kept needed to do extra things, so the loops were almost all replaced with virtual instruments. There are loops out there from Zero-G that sound almost like this piece… but in the end, I just kept that guitar and percussion.
