  • What’s going on with this blog

    So I haven’t posted anything in a long time. Part of it was the SOPA/PIPA thing and the protest and I said I’d leave the blackout page up until SOPA/PIPA was gone for good and it sort of is and sort of isn’t. But that became an excuse, really, because then I started working on…

  • Record. Keeping.

    Today I went through my modest collection of vinyl records. Not to listen to. Not even to sort or alphabetize or chronologize or even to sell. I went through my records for a project that will involve mounting said records on one wall in our living room. E and I had discussed, vaguely, the idea…

  • On the music front

    Here’s what I’ve currently got going on the music front for me…I thought I’d list it all out since it’s not insignificant: Mixing/co-producing Synaptic Disturbance’s RPM2011 album This is sort of the first official Plague Music undertaking.  Working on this with Geoff from The Raygun Girls who has, thus far, succeeded in keeping me in…

  • New gig

    As of today, I have a new gig. The longer story is that things have been slow in the web design front.  My going theory is that the industry — especially given the economy; that great excuse we’ve been using for everything from health care to what store we shop at — is moving toward…

  • [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 &…
