Music has always been a huge part of my life. I love writing songs, although I lack the skills and resources to produce polished recordings. Even so, I created this website to share the results of my experiments. Perhaps someone out there might even enjoy them...

A new 'maxi-single' of three songs is now available for download and streaming. (See this blog post for some background information on the songs.)
Listen to The Game Master at SoundCloud, or see the discography page for other alternatives.
I am experimenting with embedding streaming technology directly into my website. The player in use is Open Standard Media Player, which is an open source HTML5 media player application. While results on my own computer seem promising, I cannot guarantee functionality on all browsers and platforms. Streamable content may be found on the discography page. For convenience, relevant lyrics and liner notes are also included on the same page as the player application. (Should the player not function correctly, much of the streamable content is also available at SoundCloud.)
I designed a new shiny logo for use in connection with my music projects. More details in this blog post.
A new EP, titled Sleeping Birds Lie, is now available for download. The six songs on the release were written for a fantasy role-playing game I game mastered recently, my first ever experiment with a musical role-playing game. The lyrics page contains brief synopsis of the events of the game (since much of the lyrics are pretty 'inside' stuff). And yeah, this is still an amateur quality home recording, don't expect too much... (The songs may also be streamed at SoundCloud.)
I've just registered at SoundCloud and uploaded Odes to Melancholy there. It seems like a much nicer place for streaming music than MySpace.
At long last, I've managed to record a few of my favourite songs! The new album is titled Odes to Melancholy, and the tracks are available for download at Last.fm, as usual, and as a zip file right here. The entire album may also be streamed at MySpace. Don't expect much. I'm still an amateur, and it shows. But I'm happy to finally get something recorded, at least. All the lyrics are also available.
Brand new website for my music! The reason for making this page independent of the main site is mostly to have information available to people potentially interested in my music in a clear and concise, but still attractive, way, without all my other interests, like gaming, getting in the way. The purpose of this website is to provide a list of my works that are available, links to downloads, and song lyrics.
