I have finally been published by McSweeney’s. Twenty-seven twenty-six more things to do before I die.

OLN still loves Chasing Silver and has scheduled more broadcasts in May and June.
I still have yet to start a YouTube account, but I’ve added some of my scoring samples to the Videos section of my MySpace account. The content is the same as what you’ll find on this site, but the clips are stuffed inside some sort of stream-happy flashamadoodle in case you don’t want to download the files hosted here.
At long last, here’s the opening sequence from Chasing Silver.
Chasing Silver got extremely high ratings when it was shown on the Outdoor Life Network in February. As a result, they are going to move it to primetime in March and have also signed on to show it through April and May. Here’s the new schedule:
Chasing Silver, a fishing documentary for which I wrote some music (specifically, the opening theme), will be shown on the Outdoor Life Network in February, split into four installments.
The article about Greg Howard which I wrote for KyndMusic continues to rampage across the internet like a digital Kong: it was their most popular article of 2005.
I’m still working out the details of the video clips, but the latest in the slow trickle of uploads should help put you in the Christmas spirit — it’s a seasonal TV ad for the Downtown Business Association of Charlottesville.
“Forest Fire,” a film by three local filmmakers for which I wrote some music, just took second place in two of the three categories at the 2005 Virginia Film Festival‘s Adrenaline Project, a blitzkrieg movie-making competition where the films are all scripted, written, and edited over the course of one weekend.
I am still waiting for my horde of video clips, but in the meantime, keep yourself amused with Stimuli. This was the very first scoring project I did, an independent film by my good friend Ian.
[Update, 03/01/09: Ian wisely took photos during those sessions, and I’ve taken it upon myself to repost a couple of them here.]

I missed the boat as far as updating this to include the interview with Chapman Stick player Greg Howard which I wrote for KyndMusic, but an email I just got from Big Boss Man Dave gives me a good reason to revisit it: as it turns out, that was their most popular article of the entire summer! We beat out Bonnaroo, the North Mississippi All-Stars (take that, Red Light!) and Victor Wooten, among others.
My fly new net stylings = awesome.
Spending my Saturday nights working on them = less awesome.

The Hook’s annual music issue hits today. Go get it. (Also available in the real world.)
