Monthy Calendars now have 2 new options to measure time; Inset day of year, and week numbers!
Many people from many countries have wanted the week numbers, and they appear to be a hit. They’re more complicated than you might think – and they are calculated differently depending on whether your week starts on Monday or Sunday. They should always give you the week number that you expect for your local calendar.
There are additional features, as well. The line drawing has been optimized, and the PDF file proper is compressed to about 25% of the old files’ size. It is also faster. Thank you all for your patience, and enjoy!
Special thanks to Ivan who did all the work!

More ways to measure time
Cool Side and Something else…
Today’s new music (and probably the last new music for a few weeks) includes a piece which started its life called “alternate uses for acoustic guitar overtones“. It was just an 8-bar sketch that I started laying things on top of. It ended up being something… uh… well – something. I have no clue what it is, so I put it under Experimental. I can say this – the mix is great.
The other piece, [i]On the Cool Side[/i], is more in a genre – but it isn’t hardcore jazz. It has some bluesy notes, and a jazz ending note. It is quite cool. Cool in the jazz sense; not cool in the absolute sense. I’ll stop typing now.
Christmas Time; Horrors; and Sadness
Nothing is more fun during a record heatwave than recording Christmas music. I’m used to it – it happens every year.
A piece that I classified as “horror” which was written for a new audio drama… which isn’t horror.
I need to come up with a better way to categorize these. It is getting out of hand. There’s another piece online called Pride… I forget what page it is on.
There you go, everbodys! Five new pieces today. And four more that I should have uploaded but was too lazy. They’re piano solos – I’ll get them up in a bit.
Yearly Calendar Upgrade
A long-time formatting issue with the dates on the Yearly Calendar PDFs have been fixed!
Also, the problem has been fixed with 0-byte length returns on the yearly calendars, so you get them more reliably now with browser plug-ins.
I’m also going to announce that some news features are coming to the Monthy calendars… so if you’ve been waiting – they’re just around the corner! I will say that no other online calendar has these features, and that they have been on my to-do list for over 9 months!
Falcon Byron TV Flash!
Audio Dramas: The Falcon Banner
http://www.darkerprojects.com/
New Episode online; #5. It has music that I composed for eps 2 and 4 in it – because I didn’t have the time to provide a full new score. Very nice edits. I’m really into this story – but the book is $18 plus shipping… Maybe I’ll get it if I’m super impulsive one of these days.
Audio Dramas: Byron Chronicles
http://www.darkerprojects.com/
Remember when I said I was busy? I was doing some of these. Episodes 1 and 2 are online. Ep 2 is hilarous.
IPTV? CFZTV
http://www.cfztv.com/
Uh… I’m not sure what this is exactly (internet-based media channel?), but it has some of the same score from the Byron Chronicles in it.

Somewhere on this site there is a presentation with my music… I’ve not found it yet. Oh well.
Polka / Durge
Ever wake up in the morning and think; “I want to write a super-crazy polka!”? Oh, come on… Seriously? Never? Well… I’m not weird if that’s what you think. They’ve been running radio ads for a polka-fest in my area – they must have gotten into my brain early on.
And the other new piece today makes me wonder how my head doesn’t explode from the contrast.
This is the proof-of-concept piece I did for an upcoming series. It went well, so maybe the others will make it up here… but the new ones’ll be better. This was a 3-track impromptu.
