Works

List of works have now been posted in the section above. It's a bunch of links right now, the best I can do in my limited time. In addition, a ton of clients are left out because their rights aren't cleared yet. Ugh :/

Darkness, Darling

The songs I've been making the past couple of days have been culminating in an album of sorts, "Darkness, Darling". Go there to check out new songs, progress notes, etc.

Drums, Strings, and Piano

New music. Oh, I'm truly in love with sampling!!

I can't remember where I found these violin samples. I think I found them from some internet collection of violin recordings as an example of "gypsy" violin playing styles. Anyway, I threw in there the Amen Break along with a chunk of some crazy-ass drum solo. Also, the song begins with a bassline from Birdland.

I might run out of unique samples to use at this rate, as it's terribly hard to find good, free samples off the internets. Time to learn how to sample properly?

Hush, Hush

I made a new song. FL Studio and the discovery of free acid drum loops gave me some motivation to make music again.

Want to talk about the Open Frameworks workshop in NYC that Zach Lieberman taught but that will have to wait till tomorrow. The Viewport project has been draining me all day... :/

Vertext, a scalable typography library!

There's a few exciting projects going on at design.Yahoo! right now but I will talk about them at a later date. Right now I want to introduce my new library! Vertext is a scalable typography library that pipes Processing's textMode(SHAPE) into OpenGL display-lists. What a mouthful. Long story short: LARGE LARGE TEXT, fast renders!!

View site and download Vertext.


I want to avoid any long-winded technical discussion of how it's made, but if anyone's curious they can pop me an email.


So, upon being inspired by Kupo I picked up the guitar and started plucking away. Charisma +1! Gained: Bard skills! My left-hand fingers feel all leathery now. I've been learning how to play Needle in the Hay (Elliot Smith), Title and Registration (Death Cab for Cutie), I Don't Know What I Can Save You From, and Girl From Back Then (both Kings of Convenience).


I've also finished Crysis. Imagine someone telling you an amazing story, using all sorts of big words, analogies, detailed descriptions, depicting this outrageous incredible epic and suddenly stopping mid-sentence. -_-


Other stuff to rant about (paintball, videogame design, kickboxing blah blah). Basically I have way too many hobbies and projects to keep track of but I've come to accept this and just roll with it. Whatever it takes to not be bored!
