Drummer Wanted

We are on the hunt again for a drummer. UPDATE 2/3/2012: I’m excited to say that we’ve connected with a fine young drummer named Sam. He blew us away with how quickly he has picked up our songs and the poise and technique of his attack on skinned wood and metal. We should be prolific [...]

Back in Denver

I just got back from a weekend in San Diego for my brother’s wedding. Woohoo to Justin and Juliette, who are on their way to Hawaii today!

Indie Game music

After going to MineCon with David, I’ve been more determined to find a place making indie game music. I’ve reached out to some projects to see if they need help with music. I think my specialty will be more in the RPG side of things, but I have an ever-growing interest in electronic and computer-based [...]

The kind folks at Quenched Music have reviewed Genetic Engines. The way the album drifts in and out of genres while keeping with the style of the artist is one of the best parts of the album … ‘A Grief Obscured,’ has great lyrics and wonderful touch of piano, which really subtly adds to the [...]

Off to Denver

I have accepted a job at the University of Colorado Denver. My wife and I will be moving there in the next month!

August ends; Album update

Well this month flew by! I currently have approximately 7 songs reaching a mature shape. As soon as I hit 10-11 I am going to trigger a bullhorn “Pencil’s down!” command and begin the final mixing and preparation. So far, you can look forward to songs that include scenes such as: A family wronged in [...]
