23:20 is now done and available online! I didn’t do all the score, but I did do some custom scoring for one of the scenes, and a lot of my music was used for other scenes… but not the opening sequence.
I got myself on IMDB for a film called “Run” from Matt Zien. The film has screened at a few festivals, and got listed at IMDB. Sounds like it is going well!
Congrats, guys! Things are looking good!

An Open Apology
To all the people who listened to my music over the last few months and years… I’m sorry everyone. I’m really very very very sorry. You see – I just had no idea.
Today I bought some studio monitors, and I listened to my music. And it isn’t pretty. Oh, the mixes are fine – the problem lies in how I distribute them. I used to think (WAY back in the day) 128 kbps mp3 was fine. It was what all the cool kids were using. I eventually upped my recordings to 160, then 192 and 256. I switched to 256 AAC encoding a few months ago beliving it was “indistinguishable” from the raw form.
Holy cow was I wrong.
While listening to some of my pieces now, I occationally say “What the heck happened to the high end in this piece??”. Without fail – I’m listening to a compressed version that was destined for the web site.
Oh – the high end is still there… it is just… bad?
In any event – I’m going to have to change my format again. Possibly to 48kHz Apple Lossless (inside mp4). It is noticably better then CD quallity. Well – you can notice it if you have good speakers.
The Falcon Banner
Four pieces of new orchestral music are on the update today. I’m pretty proud of them. This isn’t stuff I normally do.
- Transition One
- Transition Two
- Weight of Responsibility
- Reflecting on Ideals
There were all written for an audio drama called The Falcon Banner (Episode 2).
General Ledger
If the big ledger sheets I have are too complex for your needs, I now have simple general ledgers available!
2 Column ones are for simple Credit / Debit… 3 columns are for… hrmm… I’m not sure – but they were requested. 8.5 x 11 only. One color scheme only.

Well – not by default, but it is an option now. There’s a checkbox that makes all your Cartesian dreams come true… if you dream of an origin roughly in the center of the page.
