First TAXI Forward

2009-10-03T08:35:00.000-07:00

I joined TAXI last month. Basically you pay them to become a member and in return they tell you what companies (music libraries, record labels, publishers, etc.) are searching for what types of music, review music you submit to them, and forward suitable submissions on to those companies.

This week I got my first piece forwarded through! The listing called for instrumentals for a music studio that works on corporate documentaries for such clients as Adobe, Nikon, Wired and more. Its called "Greenland", You can check it out HERE. Hopefully they'll want to use it.

New York

2009-06-25T14:51:00.000-07:00

So I've graduated and moved to New York city. Hopefully everything will happen quickly and exactly as I've always dreamed.

2009-02-21T18:02:00.000-08:00

Here is a submission piece that I wrote for a film scoring workshop with Alexander Janko in Northhampton. The video clip is from Hirokazu Koreeda's 2004 film, "Nobody Knows."

A Christmas Card

2008-12-25T14:31:00.001-08:00

I wrote my grand parents a short piano piece entitled "A Christmas Card" and gave it to them today. I thought a handwritten copy of the score would be more personal than a Sibelius computer-notated printout. So I grabbed a straight-edge, a pencil, and a pen and spent about four hours earlier this week on the above score. They seemed to sort-of like it, but I don't think they got that I wrote it for them, or that it was hand written...

Anyway I think it looks nice. Here is what it sounds like:

A Christmas Card for 婆婆 and 公公

It Begins
