Short Film Score Demo
I haven’t posted anything music-related in a little while, so I figured I’d share a little something I’ve been working on.
I was asked to do the music for a short film of my brother’s, and this was the demo chosen out of the handful I put together for it. I was going for kind of an ’80s noir vibe with it.
Hope you enjoy!

Snowfall in Limbo
This is probably the final revision of the first piece I posted on here back whenever. At least, I should probably stop tweaking at it before I go mad. (>^-‘)>

Interlude
Here is a brief little piece I wrote earlier this week for the piano, cello, and clarinet.
Just…because? Yes. That must surely be why. Have a good week, all!

SoundCloud
Hear the…cloud.
In contemplating a better way to show off music in the e-land, for some reason it only recently occurred to me to try out SoundCloud. Turns out it’s a fairly nifty little service.
The premise is simple – users upload sound and music, and others can then stream it to their computers and devices, more or less like a sans-video YouTube (strange that these two things didn’t happen the other way around, but…whatever). A free account will let you upload two hours’ worth of audio (assuming reasonable compression, that’s likely less than 200MB – small in comparison to most of today’s big free hosting services, but hey, free is still free, and there don’t appear to be any ads). You’re also capped at 100 downloads per track, assuming you enable direct downloads (which it’s cool that you can). There are also some arbitrary limitations, such as only being able to create three different sets/groups/organizational what-have-yous to put your tracks in, but overall, it’s plenty sufficient for sharing out a few dozen songs or so.
Perhaps handiest of all, you can neatly embed a player for a track or entire setlist just about anywhere, even here in WordPress!
These are some old synthesizer compositions I did ten or more years ago and figured I’d stick on there for fun. Now that I have much better equipment, I might see about redoing some of them…
So, am I late to the party? Do any of you out there use SoundCloud? Or have you found any other good audio sharing services?
Also, I just noticed that Dictionary.com‘s word of the day is empurple – to make or become purple. I…kind of find it fantastic that that’s a thing.

Musical Fish
So it turns out that I’m a composer, sometimes.
I may occasionally post my compositions here, under the questionable technicality that I’m ‘writing’ music. Music is usually a good companion to any story, though, and I find that one often inspires me toward the other. It’s a cycle of influence that feeds creativity on both fronts.
To start off with, I’ll share a piece I wrote earlier this year. WordPress isn’t super-friendly toward audio without spendy upgrades, so if you’re interested, click on the picture or here to listen. I was going for something cold and curious, somewhat understated.
