I've completed work on additional music for a Narnia Prince Caspian videogame, and finishing up my semester teaching Composing for Games at USC and UCLA Extension.

I've been creating a good chunk of music for the APM Endgame music library in between my regular composing and orchestration projects. It's a great company that licenses music to thousands of clients worldwide. Search the site for the Endgame library and hear what me and my colleagues have been creating for them.

I've just finished scoring for Dirty Harry, a videogame being published by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. I'm honored to be a part of such a beloved franchise and will be doing everything I can to provide a kick-ass score for this title. According to IGN, based on a May 10th, 2006 press release from Warner Brothers Interactive; actors Clint Eastwood, Lawrence Fishburne, and Gene Hackman will be lending their voices and likeness. This has been an unbelievably amazing project!

This fall I'm teaching Composing Music for Videogames course at UCLA Extension and USC. I'll also be teaching for two days at the CSUN Summer Arts Festival in Fresno in July.

I wrote a few pieces of music for Namco's Snoopy vs. the Red Baron videogame. It was a treat to revisit the classic jazz style of Vince Guaraldi, who wrote great music for the original Snoopy films. Thanks to Tommy Tallarico for thinking of me!

I am now a Steinberg endorsed artist. I've been using Cubase SX for several years and just love it (I used to use emagic Logic which was buggy and, as they've been on a shame spiral from their past crimes of dumping their 70,000 PC users for Apple, I have found healing in the powers of Cubase SX3 and Nuendo 3). For professional level music production, I highly recommend Steinberg products.

After reviewing what I wrote above, I just want to add a comment about Apple computers. I'm not one of those PC's rule/Apple sux guys. Computers of any type are great tools and whatever works for you is cool in my book. I've been using PCs since the very first IBM PC came out in the early 80's and find them to be way comfortable. Plus, as I have a mild form of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (not fun if you're a musician btw), I find more music programs that are less mouse-intense in the PC world.

I was interviewed on internet radio station Game Music Radio for Brian DiDomenico's show "Reloaded". It's been awhile since the interview aired so its currently not listed but you should be able to hear the stream if you go to this link. This should be a streaming file (as it's 63MB) but it might just download (albeit slowly) as one big mp3 so be patient. Mac users can hear it back thru itunes, and PC users need to download a streaming audio player from the site (it's easy-breezy).

I did orchestration/music prep and conducting strings on 3 songs for a Dark New Day acoustic CD, which should be in stores in a few weeks. The songs are "Follow the Sundown", "Free", and "Brother".

My conducting teacher of 6 years William Kettering passed away at the age of 87. He was truly an inspiring and passionate guy who lived a life teaching others what he loved most in the world. I'm going to miss him terribly although I still hear his voice in my head all the time. Here's to you, Bill...Yaw-Haw!

There's a interview of me on the Gsoundtracks website where I speak on many topics from how I started composing videogames to my latest projects..

Dragonshard has been getting critical acclaim with 86% average ratings. Here's a link to EBGames website for ordering your copy. Woot!

I've just put up a bunch of cues from my Dragonshard score on my MP3 page, including some tracks of just the live players so you can compare the live player tracks with the final mixes. Enjoy!

Over the late spring and summer I built a music server at my house with my buddy Jim Wiggins and installed it into a very special case mod of an Enrico Bertini accordion. A few weeks ago I finally ripped the last of my CD collection into it. (Whew!) Now that I've finished all the ripping I can relax and enjoy 12,000 songs while opening up some much needed space in my house. Check it out!

I've also been experimenting with Giga-Teleport on a few of my machines in my studio. This allows me to run both MIDI and audio via Gigabit LAN between my Cubase SX computer and my Gigastudio computers. It is an amazing achievement in music technology.

I've been a guest speaker on music for videogames for recent seminars held by Columbia College of Chicago, CSUN Summer Arts Festival, ASMAC, USC, LAMP, and seminars produced by Jeannie Novak of Indiespace at UCLA.

Here's my studio...
