Update: April 20, 2am – Kaolin Fire requested music for a flash video game, Cupid’s Revenge. Done.
Update: April 20, 6pm – Mr. Tenk and Kia Geraths requested some music in the Steampunk genre. Done
Update: April 20, 10pm – Tosha Hall requested some melancholy music box music. I reused the theme from the last piece. Done
Update: April 20, 11pm – My expression pedal broke. Attempts to repair the mechanical problems have left it inoperable.
Update: April 21, 1am – Tony Mayer and Arnie Voysey both requested a similar sort of piece – so I mashed the requests together. Done
Update: April 21, 4am – Michael G wanted some music for a Japanese fighting robot tournament video. Done
Update: April 21, 10pm – Sven Mattes wanted a score for a fight sequence in a Star Wars fan film. Done
NB: Fight Sequences take a LONG TIME to assemble. Do not think they are simple.
Update: April 22, 6pm – At least six people requested children’s music. Done
Update: April 22, 7pm – Same people, same request, same project file, new tune. Done
Update: April 23, 8pm – Chad Sell wanted a plodding middle-eastern type piece. Done
Note: It is really difficult to keep changing genres!
Update: April 24. Okay! That’s enough. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions – I received upwards of a couple hundred of them. I picked out 6 more that I plan on doing in the next couple of days.

Attention Canberrites!
I recently recieved one of the few pieces of art I own from Ian Henderson.
The painting is of the back fence to our property (no comments about the state of the fence!) from the lane behind, and with my studio visible on the far side of the fence. Behind are the poplar trees (full of sulphur crested cockatoos this morning). This is country New South Wales, as we know it!
For everyone in the Greater Canberra Area, he is currently having an exhibition:
Please note that my current exhibition ‘Mainly Monaro’ continues Saturday and Sunday 11.00 am – 4.00 pm at ‘Winterdown’, 46 Bombala Street, Nimmitabel, NSW 2631 and throughout each weekend to 24 April (and including Mon 25, Tue 26, and finishing 4.00pm Wed 27 April.)
For everyone else – you’ll have to just use a website: Ian Henderson.

Do you have any thoughts on how to make it better?
Do you have an idea for a title?

A new kind of entertainment.
Normally, I don’t talk about other people’s creative here – but if you want to be on the cutting edge of entertainment, you need to know about this.
I don’t have a TV, and I don’t own a radio. Entertainment is transcending those media if you know where to look.
Imagine C-SPAN meets Seinfeld meets The Truman Show. A kind of thing you can listen to very casually. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always real.
There are some people who produce media where you get to know them very well. No punches pulled. You get all of their thoughts… including their self-doubt, their problems, their triumphs, their conspiracy theories. Everything that goes on – in detail – unedited.
There is one monologist that I really enjoy – and I think he does ‘real’ better than anyone; Frank Nora.
Right now – Frank is dealing with marketing issues, lunch problems in Midtown Manhattan, the commute (including the infamous “corridor of losers”), persistent con-trails, the problems with sirens, new game inventions… literally hundreds of things.
You don’t need to engage in everything – or anything. It is the sort of thing that you put on and listen to… usually an hour a day or more. How many times can you listen to the same pop music? Why not reconnect with humanity while you live your life?
