Squirrel!

How do I decide what to post here? No clue. Usually I like well done shorts with a good story.
Today, I found a squirrel shot on an iPhone on boingboing that I liked.

Man, those guys are high-strung!

Sundries!

The Endless – hard to put a finger on this one. Very changeable. Easy to cut and splice many parts of this.
Aces High – some extra funk.
Not as it Seems – very fun sort of dark.

Also! Please help get my musical produced! No vampire puppets, but it does have puppets. See the post just before this one.
Yay!

Black Peter – Executive Producers!

Black Peter is a dark comedy play written by Pat Quigley, and accompanied by the amazing musical compositions of… me. The show premieres this winter, starting right after Thanksgiving at the Stage Left Studio theater in mid town Manhattan, located at 214 W. 30th Street.
Creating an amazing play for the world to see doesn’t come cheap, especially when we’ve attracted such great talent to this production. We’re asking for donations of any amount, be it $5, $10, or $50 or more to help this production. If you give any amount of money above $150, we’ll happily list you as an Executive Producer for “Black Peter” in the program, and give you a link of your choice on the Executive Producer page on incompetech that may just live forever! Plus you get free tickets! What more could a theater lover ask for?
Please consider giving some amount for this wonderful production!

New Interview!

I just did an audio interview for Dave Dugdale at learningdslrvideo.com. Dave is a very accessible expert on shooting video with your DSLR camera, and is a great guy just in general. I don’t know when the interview is going up – so, in the meantime, just enjoy the site and learn about shooting great-looking video. Many of the tips are useful for non-DSLRs as well.

Organic Meditations

The Organic Meditations – So what does that mean? These were all built on acoustic recordings of real instruments, and not synthesized. It is over 45 minutes of music, all the the same key – so you can fade between them for very very long pieces.
One: Lush strings with bells on top, and a deep deep drum
Two: Thinner brass at the bass, wooden marimba for interest
Three: Piano and cello drones on the bass, piano is also used for melodics

Windswept with sheet music!

Windswept – A relaxed guitar and strings piece for the denouement of a story or exposition of the scenic outdoors. The guitar is peaceful as the strings gently build in prominence. The tempo is regular overall, but slows down in key moments to build a sense of tranquility.
A lot of people have been asking me for sheet music of various pieces. So I’ve decided to start including them here (if they are relevant).
I don’t play guitar, so I don’t know if this is playable – I suspect it is.
Windswept Sheet Music (includes guitar tab!)
If you play guitar, let me know if this is possible. Thanks!!
