Making music has been a hobby and a passion for me since about 1996 - so as of summer of 2017 it's celebrating its turning drinking age! I've also engaged in other artistic forms like drawing/painting and poetry, but they have not been as prevalent.

I know some of you may be aware, but I'm on a bit of a hiatus as far as music is concerned - I still plunk down a few notes here and there when I get a moment, but I'm currently in a transitional time in my life/work situation and moments when I can sit down and compose are few and far between, unfortunately. It may still take a few months yet, but once my situation resolves, I may find myself with oodles of time to devote to music and other projects I've been postponing indefinitely (*feels three particular sets of eyes on him ....*) ... ahem, anyway - so that's what's been keeping me so silent lately, and I can't wait to get back into the groove of things! I'll do my best to keep you posted here :)

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to do a quick update: I have a really nice long weekend off work coming up and this will be a chance for me to catch up with music. The main project that's on my mind to either complete or get close to doing so is my AIM entry. Hopefully I can do a decent job on it! Cheers! (and keep your eyes peeled for more news!)

It's been a busy month......


I've been tracking the results/comments of the Andrew Huang's "Yours" remix competition, and just today Keir came on to announce that they are done judging. We will learn what happens in the next few days as per Keir, as they need to sort out how to dole out prizes before they can announce the winners. Fingers crossed. (but honestly, not expecting much, given the level of all the entries. I'm just hoping I at least make the cut of 50 best, given the nearly 1500 entries...). To anyone who makes the top 50 -- good job!!!


I've also entered the April's Chips Compo with The Ocean Path. There is still a couple of days for the judging to be done on it. I can't wait to see where I stack up there!


I'm also working on a more personal project (that may be revealed soon), and one for the AIM competition - haven't got started on that last one, so don't quote me on that! xD but yeah, I plan to make a nice entry there :)


Weekend can't come soon enough :O

For those of you who got it, grats, and you can read this post. For those of you who are still struggling, I will post a reply here with the answer to the quiz that will help unlock. Cheers!

I just got done posting on NG my remix of Andrew Huang's song called "Yours". Here it is on Metapop:


https://metapop.com/site/tracks/andrew-huang-yours-site-remix/80833


It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and a lot of learning for me. And I hope you can enjoy! :)

I would love to win, but given the number of submissions and their quality, that's a long shot at best xD Regardless, it was definitely worth entering, if only for the experience!


Cheers :D

(and now onto the backlog of things to do, including sleep .... lol)

I'm currently aiming to devote most of my weekend to working on my newest project, "Unlikely Hero: The Awakening" - and it's already over a minute longer than last post! Wish me luck!

The past few days this is all I have been thinking about:

I gave it a working title of "Unlikely Hero: The Awakening". I aimed at making a cinematic piece that sounds more natural/organic than what I've been making thus far. How am I doing with that?

This weekend I ended up working on revamping a project from 2017, that I am now giving a working title of "Onwards!". A lot of pep to it and, as usual, plenty of epic feels in this orchestral:

Enjoy! (I'll post on NG only once complete ofc)

Well, it looks like I burned out lately. Due to medical problems, I've been home all week this week, too; that came with a weird benefit, though: I managed to work on music, finally. I still have not given it a stamp of approval as a final version, but here it is for your enjoyment until that time:

"Don't Look Back" is the title. Enjoy!

Well, a coworker of mine quit the company I work at. No warning at all, until the day he was due to leave. He has secured a better paying job elsewhere, working with his brother. I am dedicating a piece to him, because he has been a support for me through the rougher patches of work after transferring departments at my job. This is just a start, of course, but I intend to finish it before I do anything else - no particular timeframe per se, but asap as far as I am concerned. Everything is taking back burner positions at this point and outside my day job this is getting my #1 focus.

Here is the piece as it is right now: https://www.patreon.com/posts/21009645

Once complete, I will send him a link to the piece to let him listen - with dedication - what rings true within my being.
