Corn Cobs and Cauliflower!

Hey guys! I'm back! So, here's a cue I just finished. Its name is not perfect but it'll do! I named it what I named it not because it has anything to do with those who do not eat from an animal, but because when I asked my wife what I should call this one, she said, "Big and Epic," and I heard ...

Vegan Epic

MAGNUM BABY!!!!

As promised, here's that new 8-bit cue I wrote. This time it's for Magnum, p.i.

I've been thinking about doing a bunch of these for tv themes, old and new. Might even start a whole new page for them. What do you think!?

Well, anyway, here it is...

Magnum, p.i.

Um....Hey!

So, here's a new cue I wrote the other day. It's an action cue but it has a breakdown in the middle for those serious moments. Let me know what y'all think!

Also, if you liked that 8-bit version of the A-Team theme, then you're in for a treat. Because I have another one coming along soon of another famous TV show from the 80s. Now, if you DIDN'T like the 8-bit song I posted last week ... well, sorry. But for everyone else, YAY!

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy ORCHESTRA ALL IN YO FACE!

More Than Just A Fight

Back to my A-Game...

OK! So, now I'm REALLY back. I finished that "side project" I've been working on that had nothing to do with music. So, now I can just come home from work and bust out some cues. I'm really excited about it! I should get a lot more posts up now, which means so much goodness for you guys out there!

...I can tell you're excited!

To officially kick off the new life of my blog, I've done a quick little ditty to tide you over while I write some things. This was actually a request by a friend of mine. He wanted me to do my own version of the A-Team theme. I don't know if this is what he had in mind but this is what I came up with. Now enjoy...

The A-Theme

Here Comes The Music!

I'm back! And I've had some time to readjust myself (careful!) out of my MASSIVE jet lag. So, now, well rested, I have come to you with the two songs I wrote for the ceremony of my wedding.

First of all, the wedding was wonderful, as well as the honeymoon! It's taken a little while to get off that high. Sorry this isn't a longer blog, but I'm pretty tired.

Below are the two songs I wrote for the ceremony. The first one is the Processional, where everyone but the bride walks up to the altar. The second song is the song for when the bride enters. Both songs are my own renditions of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. There's a story as to why we chose this as our theme for the ceremony but I won't bore you with the details (unless you ask for it).

The recessional was where the full version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow was heard. We used the version by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'. I'm sure most of you have heard this, but if not, I'm sure you can find it easily online. I would post it here but I heard a while ago about a bunch of blogs being shut down because of posting copyrighted material so, to be safe, I will not. Let me know what you think.

Oh, and the funny story, as I mentioned in my last post: I unfortunately made the song for the bride too short and the DJ told me that if it finished before she walked down the isle, he would just loop it. Wellllll, instead of looping to the beginning, he just looped the last note over and over and over and over and over again until he just faded it out and left Stacey to walk down the isle in silence. AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! I tried so hard to make it work so it played the whole duration of her walk and then ended perfectly on her arriving where I was standing. I guess my advice to someone doing this for their own wedding would be to just write it too long and let it fade out. Much better than possibly having your bride walk down the isle in silence. But the day was perfect and we didn't let it ruin anything. Everything that goes wrong is just a story. So, on that note, here are the songs...

The Processional



Somewhere

Guess who's back!

So, I'm back from Africa (honeymoon) and am ready to write some new music. I'll do a new blog poster either later today or tomorrow about the music I wrote for the wedding ceremony. There's also a funny story and good lesson for anyone else looking to write music for their ceremony.

See you all soon!

Hiatus...

Hey y'all. So, as you've probably noticed, I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been so busy with wedding planning and work that I just haven't had any time to sit down and work on music.

I was, at one point, considering to just set aside two hours every morning before work to write, but I felt that it would just be added stress and a lot less sleep. And I definitely don't need that leading up to the big day!

I have been writing the ceremony music for the wedding as one of my "to-do's" so I'm at least afforded an opportunity to express myself creatively on that end. I'll definitely post what I've created after the wedding.

I also just worked on a piece of music that worked in cohesion with a supertease I was cutting but the tease got cut down, so I'm sure I can't post any examples of that since I would probably get sued for millions of dollars (yay!)

That's it for now.

Out.
