• The Escape Radio Theme song has been getting a new lease on life as music for The Escapist's E3 Video Coverage.
• Eskil Steenberg, designer of Love, has given me the OK to post some works-in-progress for download.  These are not in-game tracks, but rather pieces of music I've put together in an attempt to peg the musical style for which Eskil is looking.  This one is an attempt at a main theme for the game, featuring some vocals from me and my wife, mezzo-soprano Joy Dorsch.  Enjoy!

• My good friend Russ over at The Escapist has been putting me to work lately, and the first fruits of our collaborative efforts can be heard in the new theme song to Zero Punctuation, Ben "Yahtzee" Chroshaw's enormously successful and hilarious video series. If you're unfamiliar with ZP, be warned that it can be a bit on the edgy side, so don't fire up the video at work or around anyone who may object to particularly vivid use of profanity. If you like the way it turned out, feel free to drop me a line via the Contact page or take a minute to drop a comment in the Escapist's forums.
• I'm working on some music for Love, a "first person not so massively multiplayer online procedural adventure game" created by one-man-army Eskil Steenberg. If you're unfamiliar with the game, there is some great coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun. It's a tremendously exciting project, and I'll have some demos to post here soon.
• The good lads at Black Leaf Games have put up a very cool site to promote their upcoming PC and Xbox 360 title, Art of War, which features some music by me. Check it out.
