vir heroicus
    I've been quiet lately because I've been working on a full album of unreleased material. The album hits the web on the 3rd of July, so check it out!

guestbook
    Whoops, the guestbook has been broken for a while, and I hadn't noticed. I have, thus, restored it to its former glory!

new song: while it lasts
    I've written a song for piano, called While It Lasts. I made heavy use of 7th chords to give it a "jazzy" feel. Thanks for listening! And a special thank you to those who have donated.

song lengths fixed
    I've received numerous e-mails about my MP3 files being improperly encoded-- erroneous play-times and such. Thus, I have searched for a solution and fixed the problem. If you notice the problem popping up again, do let me know. (The .zip collection also contains the fixed tunes)

new year, donation button
    Happy new year, loyal visitors! I've added a small PayPal donation button to the top of the site. Why? Because a lot of people seem to enjoy my music (which I appreciate), and some have expressed a desire to make donations to me. Thus, this button makes the process very easy. My music will always be offered 100% free of charge-- but you will certainly help my poor ass out if you do donate. Thanks!

    Adam Foster has completed work on his HL2 mod called "Minerva: Metastasis". I wrote 5 original songs for the game; they are at the top of my song list, to the right. Experience the songs in their intended setting by downloading and playing Metastasis!

new song: lead all souls to heaven
    I have finished work on a brand new song. I've been working on it for a long time; it feels good to finally release it. It's my most blatantly experimental song to date, yet it's still built upon a solid emotional core.

new song: microcomposer five
    I've finished writing the final installment of the microcomposer series. A rather somber ending to the series, but I needed to write something with a bit more closure than #4. Enjoy!
