Today we are announcing a new feature called 'In the Studio.' Here you can hear new works being composed as they move from beginning sketches to finished pieces. To check it out click on the heading on the left hand side.

It's been a while since I've posted an update on the progress of this piece. With all the moving, company, traveling, and other life stuff that's been happening I haven't had as much time to work on this piece as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I have new material to show.

I'm currently in the process of moving my studio downtown, so my video podcasts will be on hold till the end of June. In the meantime, I'm continuing to work on the projects I've outlined in my last couple of videos. Hopefully both of these compositions will be finished or near completion by September. As usual, when I resume podcasting I'll bring you up to date on my progress.

The reason I'm moving my studio downtown is so that I'll be closer to where opportunities are. Being situated between the campus and the downtown area will let me reach out to student and independent filmmakers plus tap into the vibrant arts community that exist here. Once everything is set up I'll take you on tour of my set up. :)

I admit that I've been a little bit lax on the podcasting as of late. However, I've been fairly busy as I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment and have begun work on yet another orchestral piece (not the one I mentioned in the last podcast.) This new piece has the working title of 'Triumph' though I'm sure the title will change before I'm finished. Read More...

I'm changing the format of my podcasts to hopefully make them more engaging. Although the topics in my earlier views are fascinating, they're really more appropriate for a written blog entry where topics can be covered in greater detail. So instead of having one topic that I discuss for ten minutes, I decided to break my podcast into three segments. Read More...

I have added a new social tab that includes links to all of my various online profiles and pages. I will be updating this page every time I join a social network or other site. As always I'm looking for more ways to connect with fans. Feel free to add me as a friend on any of these profiles and be sure to tell your friends as well.

You can now follow me on twitter or check back here to read my tweets.

If you're a fan of my music and a fan of literary fiction from authors like Ayn Rand and Victor Hugo, this new Google group may be of interest to you. The group is called Fiction Writers for Romanticism. The premise behind it is to form a group of writers to write fiction that appeals to that rational and passionate sense-of-life shared by so many who are Objectivists. Although I don't write fiction myself, I'll be keeping close tabs on this group as I may start a similar one for composers and musicians. Here's an excerpt from the blurb on the group's main page:

Welcome to Fiction Writers for Romanticism, where Objectivists and students of Objectivism, who also seek to write fiction (and are probably already working on something), can chat.

Beginning writers and amateurs and professionals are all welcome.

I created this group because I think that one of the ways to create a more rational culture is to encourage the creation of works of art that reward the rational elements in people -- works that ultimately create a feeling that rationality ultimately works and will lead to joy. Just like in real life.

Hey everybody. There's a new podcast up at Youtube for you to check out. If you want to see it just click the Video Podcast link in the sidebar.
