I recently started something I’ve always wanted to do: the Film Composition program at Berklee School of Music. It’s an online program and I’m learning a lot of valuable stuff already. When you really study the details of a film score, you really notice the difference that music makes in a film; it’s amazing. Changing the music of a scene can completely change the entire feeling and emotion of the visuals.

I’ve been on CDBaby for a while now, and have already sold some of my CD, A Minor Waltz. It’s been a lot of fun setting it all up, getting my very own barcode, seeing people buy the CD; now, if I can only figure out a way to sell a million of these things, then maybe I can retire and play music all day long!

With help from my favorite web host, Media Temple, and my favorite blogging software, WordPress, I finally launched Shimmersong.com. I’m still finishing up development on my custom MP3 and video player so that I can stream music straight from the Music page. Keep a look out.
