So long, summer!

How’s everybody doing?  I know most people enjoy the summer, but by about this time every year I’m ready for some cool air rushing past my face as I bike around the local trails.   The semester has started for my audio class at Cincinnati State, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to talk to real-life…

Announcing Second Spell: The Power Rises

I’ve finally finished the second track for my upcoming album:  The Lost Levels!  It’s titled Second Spell:  The Power Rises…  it should be giving you an idea where I’m going with the album.  All music has a story behind it (even if it’s just in the composer’s head!) and the story of The Lost Levels…


The Lost Levels response

First off: a big thanks to those who have taken the time to download The First Spell.  It’s not exactly flying off the shelves (-: but hopefully we’ll see some more response soon. The sheet music has had some downloads, but I haven’t heard from anyone (other than Hugues!) who’s attempted to play it.  Is…


Announcing “The Lost Levels”!

Over the years, I’ve had many requests for sheet music for the music I compose for games.  The problem is that music is owned by the companies who make the games, and they usually aren’t interested in making sheet music available.  So I’ve decided to make an album of all original music entitled “The Lost Levels” and…

Happy Holidays 2014!  As part of my yearly resolutions,  I decided to move my site to WordPress…  no idea if that will help with spam, but hopefully this will be an easier way to connect with me, so please feel free to leave some comments that aren’t about SEO or quality medications.  (-:  The new…


Summer is here!

Sorry for the break between posts, but I think I have a decent excuse this time: I moved! Mostly to get my wife a shorter drive to work, but a nice side benefit is that I now have a nice finished studio, with storage for mics, cables, and instruments, a nice view of trees in…


Happy Holidays 2013

Howdy! Thought I’d drop in and lay some updates on you cats. The wedding went down without a hitch and my wife and I have been enjoying our new legitimate status for a little over a month now. Although our tans are now fading, our honeymoon to Hawaii was awesome. We spent a week in…
