November 20, 2009 - Jiggle Balls: Spikes!

Another iPhone game...
And I have 5 promo codes for this as well. Email me if you would like one. Available in the US App Store.

November 18, 2009 - Giant Freaking Kaleidoscope

So... what happens if you make a kaleidoscope with three foot wheels and giant mirrors?
You film the thing for an hour and sell it on Etsy!

Have you seen high quality kaleidoscope footage before? Not synthesized filtered electronic things that look like kaleidoscopes... but real glass kaleidoscopes? This is freaking cool stuff... I'd like to see an excerpt, but the screenshots are amazing.

November 12, 2009 - New Piece for guitars

Clear Air. Wide variety of applications. Try it. Is nice. :-)

And as a public service, I'd like to highlight some very odd piano pieces that have been up for a while, but will be useful in the ever-popular Silent Film genre...
The Mad Pianist

Check out. Again. For the 1st time.

November 08, 2009 - Flickitty

There have been quite a few iPhone apps that are using my music. What makes this game special?
Well, the game developer gave me 5 promo codes so you can play too!
Update: All the promo codes are gone.

Offer will run out when the promo codes run out. Cheers, all! :-)
Only available for users of the US App Store.

November 06, 2009 - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

Someone (I can't find who) requested a dark version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy".

I couldn't find the originals, but I did redo it this week, and made 3 versions. There is still the version I did in 2006 (and wow, you can hear the difference 3 years makes!).

Click here for all the Sugar Plum variants

Cheers all!

November 03, 2009 - What, me Twitter?

Yes, your Movie Critic Next Door has given in to a trend. I'm now on Twitter, as MovieCriticND. So head on over and watch me struggle to keep myself within 140 characters. It's amusing.

November 01, 2009 - Impact.

This is a new style of working for me. It is almost a "mini-album". This comes in at about 15 minutes total for 6 pieces.
If you are putting together a short film and use one of these, it is very easy to use any of them and maintain the same music character.

Impact
- Prelude
- Andante
- Moderato
- Intermezzo
- Allegretto
- Lento

If the inverting absolute size into "Lines per inch" notation was driving you batty, I have a new generator which works in a different way!
Try it here.

Here's a great little 72 hour film made by a team from Curtin University in Perth Australia last week.
