My latest venture is developing sample libraries for use in the same programs with which I compose music.  I’ve opened a new site called SampleOddity to act as storefront, and my first library is on sale… an unusual array of percussion derived mostly from a washing machine and dryer… Epic Laundry !  Head on over and listen to the demos!

This is slightly behind the times, but Crown Productions has released the trailer for Sandrima Rising, a truly epic Star Wars fanfilm which I worked on.  I did the visuals for the Crown Productions logo teaser at the start of the video and also provided the 3d models for the main spaceship in the movie, the Renaissance, along with several other ships.  I can’t wait for the full release to finally see it all in action!

Ha, Buccaneer news - shouldn’t that be something like “The price o’ rum be down two gold pieces a barrel.  Blackbeard spotted near St. Kitts…”   Instead I present you with news about the game “Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy,” for which I composed the music!  Here’s a fine quote from this review at Gamecyte:

“Complimenting the graphics nicely is the game’s score, which features some fantastic piratey music that could have come straight from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Had someone told me that these songs were some random epic tunes from one of the many action scenes in the three movies, I probably would have believed them.”

And there was a very cool article published about the making of the game in The Guardian which is well worth a read if you have any interest in indie game making.

I composed the orchestral score for the new pirate themed ‘epic arcade game’ from Stickman Studios called Buccaneer - The Pursuit of Infamy !  It’s available now through the Steam download service, and there’s a demo as well.  Check out the trailer below, which features the anthemic theme!  Yarr!!

I’ve unleashed ten new tracks upon Musicloops.com … you can find them interspersed with the rest of the offerings at my store. This time I’ve added some new orchestral pieces and have debuted a selection of electronica as well! Head over and have a listen.

I’ve just released two new music packs at Content Paradise:

Percussive Nightmare vol. 2
and
Anime Romance vol. 1

One is full of hard hitting, aggressive drums… and the other is emotional underscore featuring synth, piano, and strings.  I will leave you in suspense as to which is which until you go and check them both out!

I’ve just finished off uploading 18 tracks of my music, available for immediate licensing, to my store at Musicloops.com . The bulk of them are orchestral action music, but there are some rock tunes and other odds and ends as well! Pricing ranges from $19.99 to $29.99, and that buys you a license to use the track in any media project you so choose. Head over and have a listen to all the music!

I’ve just launched a series of royalty-free music packs, available for sale now at Content Paradise. They are themed collections of music geared towards indie filmmakers and game producers.

The first three of these packs are:

• Percussive Nightmare Vol. 01:
  An intense barrage of drum-based mayhem. (MP3 DEMO)
• Ambient Dread Vol. 01:
  Dark atmospheres mixing orchestral and synthetic sounds. (MP3 DEMO)
• Dystopia Vol. 01:
  A bleak soundscape for the post apocalypse. (MP3 DEMO)

All three sell for $40 USD. Future titles on the way soon include Percussive Nightmare Vol. 02 and Voice of Doom Vol. 01.

Reginald and the Walrus continues to update at the blistering pace of once a week! Experience the pathos, the drama, and the ham that develops as a walrus and a curiously antiquated man do… stuff. Amusing stuff! Hopefully. Created by me and Eric Rasmussen.
