The last few weeks have been a wild ride, but things are starting to calm down once again. Ambient Evening was on the front page twice, recieved 44 reviews, about 3,200 listens, and was even used in a flash! That was simply astounding to find, and I really appreciate all of the comments and reviews! Flowing Waters also was on the front page one week, and got a decent number a positive comments. Actually, two of my songs were recently used in flash! :O Check out these great videos featuring my music. While your at it, go ahead and rate/review these flashes. I'm sure the authors won't be offended if you do so. :P

The Metaphor (A serious short with a thought provoking message. Very poetic!)

Go Slug! 1.6 (A funny/entertaining flash with a random ending! I mean literally, the ending may be one of two things chosen randomly. Super dramatic!!!)

Sadly though, things are slowing down and I am getting far fewer reviews. Whereas I was receiving several per DAY before, I now am getting maybe one or two every other day, and I have a feeling that will soon become an even smaller number. :( Ah well, what do you do about such things? The problem is that I am now bored to tears! Everything is dying down here, and I am stuck at home all summer with nothing to do. If anyone wants music written for anything in specific, PLEASE PM me! Or if you have any inspiring short stories or descriptions I can use to base a song on, I'd be honored. Really, I just need something to fulfill this seemingly unquenchable boredom.

Anyway, I'd just like to thank you all one more time for your support. Every time I read a review on my music, it makes my day. It really does. :) I take the time to respond to every review, and generally look at the reviewer's profile to watch any flashes or listen to any music they may have made. Or just to read their news posts and learn something about them. Seriously, you guys are like a second family, lol! :P I will be patiently awaiting any more reviews/comments, and will hopefully put it more music in due time.

You guys are awesome!

In the last week or two I've come out with three songs. That's pretty much a record for me! :O
I would really appreciate it if you guys would check them out and give me input. Whether it be brutally honest or totally encouraging, I will take whatever criticism/advice you have to offer. And remember, I respond to each and every review, and usually even look at each reviewers profile and listen to this/her stuff. Again, I would love to hear what you have to say about my music!

Celtic Dreaming
Heaven's Tears
Unattainable Freedom(My new song! renamed it just now from "The Conflict Within")

In other news, my song "Ambient Evening" remains #13 on the front page for the week, and I've got over 3,000 listens and 39 reviews! I never imagined that this short loop would get such positive attention. I am blown away continually by the incredible reviews you guys leave. It is more encouraging than you might realize, and I just want to state how much it means to me! Also, I've been told that one of my older songs is going to be used in a flash in the near future. I'm really excited about it, and will post the link when it comes out.

Thanks again for all the support, you guys are amazing!

After many months of little to no reviews, I was getting heavily discouraged. In the last month, though, I have received countless encouraging reviews and comments, pushing me to put out more music. Just the other week, my song "Flowing Waters" was put on the audio front page as #13, bringing in over a dozen reviews in less than a week, and almost 2,000 listens! The next week, my song "Ambient Evening" was on the front page as #23 I believe. The next week, things slowed down and I expected everything to return to normal.

But no! This week, "Ambient Evening" is again on the front page, now as #13! I've received around 25 reviews for it, which is a record for my music! I appreciate everyone's support more than words can express, and couldn't thank you all enough. With all of the attention I've received, I figured it was about time to post something new. So I stayed up from about midnight to 6 AM last night writing a song, and I've spent hours revising it today. You can listen to it under the following link:

Thank you all again. You guys here on NG are like family, and I look forward to more reviews and comments. Remember, I respond to EVERY ONE, so don't be afraid to ask any questions.

EDIT 2: Wow, almost 3,000 listens on ambient evening and 35 reviews! You guys are seriously awesome, and I really appreciate the support! I have been told another one of my songs will be used in a flash soon, so I'll post the link when that happens. Lastly, I posted yet another new song called Heaven's Tears. Please listen to it!

Thank you to all who have voted, reviewed, and listened to my songs lately! After posting my first song on NewGrounds about two years ago, I finally am starting to get some exposure. :P

I was pleasantly surprised last week to find that my song, "Flowing Waters" was listed as #13 on the Best Tracks Ever list (located on the audio portal's front page). In days, it went from 200 listens to over 2,000. O_O I had multiple reviews pouring in daily, and had several different people PMing me about my music. And this week, my song "Ambient Evening" is listed as #23!

Again, thank you all so much for the support. It is wonderful to see so many positive reviews ratings. School us out in a week from tomorrow, and I should have plenty of free time to pump out new music over the summer. Keep the reviews coming! :D

It's been a while, but I finally put a new song up! It is a woodwind/string piece, and I think it turned out rather well. Please listen to it and comment:

Due to my busy schedule with school and certain extra-curricular activities, I don't have near enough time or focus to post music. After thanksgiving, I should have more time on my hands. For the time being, though, I probably won't post much of my work. :(

I am studying up on music theory, though, so my work should hopefully improve that much more. :)
