Funny you should say that...
The first 'draft' of 'Awakening The Avenger' is now up on the site. It
is a *long* way from finished. I have a lot of fiddling to do with the
instrumentation. The changes jar a bit in places. I also really, really,
REALLY need a good sharp sounding drum kit for Hydrogen. I want a hard
but light kick drum (not some woolly muffled sounding thing), a nice
rattly snare, high hat, cymbals, wood block etc. Everything needs to
sound very bright and clean if it is to sit well. Previously I would
have used the GM kit in my Sound Canvas but I very much want to do this
all in software.
The separate bare bones of 'Wakeup' and 'Avenger' have been
laying around in my musical 'spare parts' box for a while, but
with a key change here and a tempo change there they weld together
almost seamlessly :)
I really must rummage around in that box more often!

OK. Good point. It's done now. Well after some thought I decided to give my
website a tidy up. Also
investigating ogg, mp3 etc. players and converters I realised there is
more out there than I thought. With that in mind I have begun the
oggification of my music, and just put a link to information for my
friends who use a 'different' OS - not that anyone here will need it!
In the process I've made a few tweaks (I can never resist the urge to
fiddle) and there are some new tracks as well. Some are just musical
'toys' others, such as 'Dreamer' more serious - if that's the right
word. There *shouldn't* be any problems with the site. If there are
please let me know.
Not a problem, but a tiny suggestion: Make track names emphasised.
It would make it a whole lot easier to read.
James Yes I know I
shouldn't be up at 3AM but I'm working on a tune that just
*has* to be set down properly :)
We'll be hearing it soon, then? > > > As usual the website is
