  • Netlabel

    A little bit about me: I went to a University with an adjunct program that allowed students to create their own individualized majors (it’s called the Johnston Center).  You see, my interests and passions were too diverse for me to settle with one single field of study.  We didn’t have letter grades — that doesn’t…

  • [RPM2011] Seeing how the other half lives

    What I learned about making music for the RPM Challenge this week.

  • [RPM2011] Valentine’s Day update

    As of today I’m slightly more than halfway through my RPM album and the second half seems like it should be pretty much a breeze since all the leitmotifs should be done.

  • [RPM2011] 30%

    The latest update is that I’m 3/10ths of the way through the soundtrack.  I’ll be there for minutes long before I get all the tracks down (especially after this weekend), but what I’m happier about is that I got 3 new leitmotifs in that I’ll be using later in the game (for Blomkvist, Harriet &…

  • [RPM2011] first song, Lisbeth

    This song is mostly done.  I think if I get a chance before the end of the month I’m going to adjust the levels on the drum kit…

  • [RPM2011] It’s February 1. I’m going to make an album cover

    Lucky thing I already figured out what my album cover for RPM2011 would be. This is a quick screencast of my cover-making process.  The music is my remix of @artfulmark’s Coffee Break.

  • [RPM2011] Tracklist

    What I don’t mention in this video blog (but I did on my blog on The RPM Challenge) is that I’ve also decided on a title for the album, Wasp.  You can head over there if you want the full description, I’m too lazy to repost something I’ve already written here. Also, an interesting thing…

  • Random Song of the Day #15

    Today I’m going to do some shameless self-promotion for the random song of the day: my remix of Amanda Palmer’s “Map of Tasmania” from her new album “Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under.”  To be brutally honest, I don’t really like the song all that much.  I saw “remix contest” and I jumped to enter before…

  • [RPM2011] Writing a soundtrack for a book

    For anyone curious, here’s a copy of my notes (an earlier draft, I’ve added to them a bit since).
