This website needs an enema!

I've been working on and off on a new site design - something totally new. This thing is a bear to keep updated, and the last post was almost a year ago. ODDLY, it's been one of the busier years for me. For now, the best way to keep up with my goings on is through Twitter and Facebook, and you can always visit the discography page for recent stuff. I have to find a new way to display all the production work I've done recently. I'll get there. In the meantime, STAY COOL. SOON WE WILL HAVE OUR ENEMA.

New tunes, JAPAN, more tunes, and 2014 is freaking me out

I should update more often, eh? THINGS ARE HAPPENING. I have some new songs up. Here is the rundown. More details on the discography page.

I'm heading to Japan in March! I'll be out there for Bit Summit to hang with some super composers and Japanese indie game cats. I'm a little beside myself actually. It hasn't sunk in yet. On the upcoming IN FLUX album from Brave Wave, I have an original song that features Manami Matsumae (Mega Man composer) on piano. It turned out well. The album will be out next month. I was told the song sounds like "floating around in an angry ocean at dusk", so I titled it "Putting the Beacons to Bed". I'm working with Alexander Brandon on his new album, Just Fun. The Kickstarter is live now. Just Fun is a collab album with musicians he's worked with in the past. It is all original music and a heck of an album! Again, the Kickstarter is live now!

I've contributed a track to Big Giant Circles' remix project for his new album, Glory Days. I teamed up with the mighty Zantilla for this one. If you haven't heard his stuff, YOU MUST. Not sure when the track is hitting, but I'll post about it. I'M MASTERING THE NEW YEAR 200X ALBUM HOLY CRAP! Funny thing, I've actually been recording a lot of local bluegrass! It's fun! I've cut two albums for local groups, and I'm on my third right now. It's a lovely change of pace. This month is basically Metroid Metal month. Like... all month. o.O O.o

I probably missed something? I don't even know. There's other stuff too. Some things will likely hit even before the projects I listed above. 2014 looks to be big. It means the world to me that you guys would read this far on my little ancient blog thing. Thanks as always, and here's to moving the bar sideways instead of up. 

LOVE YOU GUYS, G

Four new songs!

It feels good to get some of this stuff up. Links to all of these new songs can be found on my discography page. 1. I did a cover of Evil Dead: The Musical's "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" with Cheryl Norfair, Kirby, and Travis Morgan. HAPPY LATE HALLOWEEN! You gotta hear this girl sing.

2. "Transylvania Sound Machine" is a super funky cover of "Picture of a Ghost Ship" from Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. It appears on the Vampire Variations II album.

3. My brother and I did a cover of some old DOS racers from the 90s - Stunts, Indianapolis 500, and Test Drive III. "386 Cylinder" is for you old guys out there. ;) We did this as a part of Dwelling of Duels' 10th Anniversary month. Hurray!

Thanks for listening! Some massively massive stuff in the works. More soon!

Duke Nukem 3D arrangement with Hyperduck - and the Retro Game Music Bundle!

Hi! First of all, The Retro Game Music Bundle ends on June 5! Go now! http://www.gamemusicbundle.com/

OK, let's back up.

I had the pleasure of working on an arrangement with those crazy Irish kids at HyperDuck Soundworks. We went for the ULTIMATE GRABBAG REMIX from Duke Nukem 3D. For those who don't know, Grabbag is this. Everyone knows Grabbag. The track worked out great! I played drums and an overly wanky solo.

The remix is a part of the Retro Game Music bundle. For almost NO MONEY, you can some the soundtracks from classics such as Myst and Jazz Jackrabbit! Donate a bit more and you'll get a massive bundle of classic OSTs. Also included is a remix album of Duke Nukem 3D music from the likes of virt, Disasterpeace, Alexander Brandon, HyperDuck, Zircon, Strotchy, coda and more.

Our track also ended up on the official OST in the bundle, so we're pleased about that.

Side note: The TRON ALBUM IS DONE. More info on the release here shortly.
