Okay, after replying all of the PMs I received and garbaging my Whistle Status for reviews that... seem to be okay on here I've finally decited to put some details about the projects I'm involved in. I also made a list of tools of trade to keep no questions open.
A lot of people were asking me about Serpent's Grave lately, it's pretty conveniant that the producer Toniko P. made a news post on his site with some detailed material (screenshots, teaser trailer, concepts, etc.) about his projects. There's a WIP teaser for Serpent's Grave but the link didn't work at the moment, it's highly possible that this one's already working while you read this. He also posted some trailer screens if it still doesn't work.
One month ago I got commissioned by Max McKenna, an independent filmmaker from Boston to write music for his film which is hopefully shown at Cannes once it's finished. That's where my current working focus lies on. I can't give you any details about the movie though. I've released the short 2 minutes version of the demo piece which was my entry for the competition. The final cue will be around 5 minutes, feel free to take a listen to the short version if you got some time.
A few weeks ago I finished a short trailer cue for an US Documentary called Servant Hearts. The producer told me that they were pretty satisfied, now they want me to do the full 30 minutes score. I got told that I'm going to be contacted within the next days by two people, one of them should work with Sony so I'm pretty excited about it. :P
Between these projects I'm doing the score to Toniko's "Dusk's Flight" movie as well but the score is in a pretty early production state, just a maintheme and that's it so far. I want to apoligize to all the people who wrote PMs to me requesting Soundtracks, I'm unable to take any more work right now because I have to look ahead. Chances are pretty high that I can't finish my work if I take any more work at the moment. I hope you understand.

Wow, so NG really featured me, thanks to whoever picked the music! I'm trying to answer most of the PMs and reviews I got within the weekend.
I'm going to upload some material soon, probably some older work from the beginning of the year. Not sure if I can upload my latest stuff since it's probably going to be used for commercial purposes. It's hosted on my Soundclick page though, just if you're interested.
I've been hearing a lot of negative things about the Audio Portal lately. Worst of it was that music got stolen from here and sold on other sites. I'm going to join a music society this month to get some kind of realtime protection regarding that. I'd advise anyone who stumbles upon copyright infridgement to inform the original artist ASAP since something like that can't be tolerated in any way.
However, I hope this is going to be a good time here. Thanks for reading guys!
NOTE: I won't be on until the end of the month because I'm using a trial version of my AntiVirus software and I'm unable to afford a license until the 1st of October.

I'll start with uploading most of my recent work, not everything at once though. Gotta see what people demand.
Updated: 09/04/08 11:14 PM 6 comments | Log in to comment! | Share this!I've been thinking about this for quite some time, mainly because of a strong lack of feedback by listeners. Composer forums are really good if you want to critique on your music by professionals whatsoever, but I kinda need to know what the audience thinks about it. A view by a nonprofessional who doesn't look under every written note is what I'm after.
Now there's the fact that I already left NG for the second time, including all the work I've uploaded here and a second comeback would look pretty ridiculous whatsoever... although I'm not sure if I got noticed by many people ;). I'll see if people want another comeback, just drop me a line if you got anything to say.
Thanks for reading!

I still haven't hooked up anything yet due to the absence of a large and the the funds to buy it. So yeah, it's a little bit chaotic here. Since all my music is gone now I actually doubt that anyone is still reading this nonsense I'm typing here. People have probably found other pieces they like and I'm probably just something like the past in their memories. I'll still post a few messages here and there ;D.
However, here's my tools of trades list right now:
Hardware
A nice PC
CME UF6 MIDI Masterkeyboard (New)
Shitty Behringer Mixer
Software
Samplitude 10 Pro (New)
Miroslav Philharmonik
EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Gold XP (New)
Symphonic Choirs (New)
Colossus (New)
Stormdrum (New)
Percussive Adventures 2 (New)
Bösendorfer 290 (New)

All East West equipment taken from their Complete Composer's Collection... pretty awesome stuff. Well, thanks for still visiting my modest page, have a great week!
