Man, I have gone way too long without updating. I apologize. Here’s something I’ve had for a little while, and I’ll tell you how it came about. Lisa has been working with Will White on realizing his vision of a cartoon series (you can find out everything and watch the trailer here: Jam Jams Homepage). Lisa convinced Will to ask for my services and wryte sumthin’ purdy. So I did. The end. Although way not as cool without the animation (which is on the website, so watch it!), here is the unedited music to the trailer for Li’l Kitty Jam Jams:

Lisa Brown had this neat idea to have me write a bunch of 1 minute compositions which she would then take and set animation to, as practice for both of us in our respective disciplines. Er sumthin’. And so I give you:

Thanks to the Interwebical Wizardry of the resplendent Brendan Adkins, I now have a hosted space to make some of my compositional doodles public! Thank you, Brendan! And so we’re off. My goal for this project is to knock the rust off and expand my music composition skills. Through the magic of MIDI, you, the Reader shall become you, the Listener, and thus will be a step closer to hearing what’s being thrown around in my head. I welcome comments from everyone - please tell me honestly what you think, be it good or bad. You can even simply say “cool” or “that sucked.” That’s how I’ll improve/learn. I may ask you for more details about your opinion, but I doubt I’ll do that very often. Enough blabbin’ - Here we go.

Enjoy!
