Audio Dramas: The Falcon Banner
http://www.darkerprojects.com/
These are very very cool, check them out. I did episodes 2 and 4, but you’ll want to get 1 and 3 or it won’t make sense.
Audio Adaptation: Pasokon
http://productions.lovelyv.net/pasokon/
I believe this in an audio adaptation of a comic; and it is pretty nice! Good voice acting; good story; very good production… It is just plain good! I recommend checking this out – especially if you’re into Anime.
Theatrical Short: Dancing for Peanuts
http://gbifg.proboards41.com/
This is a silent-era period piece shot in HD; The first piece I’ve done in HD… actually the first time I’ve _seen_ HD. It looks lovely! I did a full custom score for it, but I don’t think it is online yet.
Theatrical Featurette: Chew

I’ve seen the rough cut of this. I recommend not reading the plot blurb before seeing the piece, as it is a crazy spoiler. Screening In July in New York.
Geometry Demo: How Round is your Circle
I’m in a multimedia addendum(?) to a soon to be published book from Chris Sangwin (School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham). I’ve not seen the book, but from what I can tell it is a non-technical geometry book.

More Silent Film Music
Five new pieces that will help round out your silent period films. Most were made with a small band consisting of Tuba, trombones, trumpets, clarinets, piano, and various percussion things.
Obsession, Vampires, Downtime
DVD Product: Extreme Downtime
I’m not certain on which of the DVD’s my music is featured, but it is on something! Personally – I just like the concept of Extreme Downtime! Woohoo! Relaxation!! [website]
Feature Film: Dance with a Vampire
I just got a DVD of this one in the mail, and despite what the credits page says – my music is definitely used in it. Heck, it is used in the opening scene! It is quite a long film (almost 2 hours) but the makeup effects are very very good. [website]
Featurette: Obsession
I don’t know a lot about this one… other than it was submitted to Progeny Film Festival in Blacksburg, VA
and has a runtime of 20 minutes. Soon to be seen in Norway and Ontario, Canada? Not sure – I’ll keep you updated when I am futher updated. [no site available]

That doesn’t sound like me…
You know how it is when you record yourself talking, and then play it back – and it no longer sounds like you. Everyone else thinks it sounds like you. But not you…
Well, I was doing some voice recording today, and it sounded like me. B’Wha? Oh! I have new studio monitors! I can’t believe it makes that much difference. But it does. That whole garbage I’ve been told about your head resonating. Wrong!
I’m guessing it has to do with one being so familiar with ones own voice that you can immediately pick out that it sounds ‘off’ if it isn’t reproduced exactly. Get yourself a passable mic and some good speakers, and you can finally hear that you do indeed sound like you think you sound when you talk.
Amazing!
