Henry’s School of Imaging has been gracious enough to use my music for their new Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies) hosted series. Each episode in the series shows Ed learning (with one heck of a sense of humour!) how to take deeper control of his camera. Henry’s chose to use “Boundless” (featuring the one and only Jeff Oster) from my album 5 for the first episode of the series. Thanks Henry’s!
HNR
Thanks to South Korean radio station HNR for playing my tune “Tanzen”! Last month the station became an official Apple radio provider (you can check it out under the ambient category on iTunes radio), so congrats to the whole team at HNR!
Metalworks
Metalworks is having me back for the fall semester. I’m teaching two classes each of MIDI & Synthesis and Desktop Music Production. Since my gig with Apple ended a while ago, I’ve been searching for something just like this. Truly looking forward to the classes!
Henrik Bridger
There really is nothing like a great player. My friend bassist Henrik Bridger just started sending me his parts for my new record and man do they ever smoke! He’s truly lifting the music up. I can’t wait to hear the rest of his parts!!

Great article! Sure there’s a lot of infighting and general bickering in the tech industry, but at least they’re actively trying to make web audio better.

Supreme Court scraps some copyright fees on downloads
Yes, for some musicians today’s rulings may mean less royalties, but I feel this is a reasonable, considered response to a complex question.
