Noteflight – great cloud notation software.

Noteflight - cloud-based music notation software.There are so many amazing things happening online now with music and audio software. More and more is possible with software that doesn’t even live on your computer. Noteflight, a cloud-based music notation program, is one example of this. It doesn’t compare to Sibelius and Finale (yet), but considering it’s all taking place through a website… it’s fantastic. And of course, this engenders an entire social facet of the music-creating experience that never existed until now.

Most identifiable drummers.

Jeremy drumming at the Old Town Pub in Pasadena ca. early 2000's.I’m continuing with my drummer lists and keeping it short and sweet this time around. Here is my shortlist of drummers you’d recognize on any song. Their sound and feel and style are so distinct that their fingerprint on the music they play is every bit as unique and influential as a great singer’s voice. Is it a coincidence that so many of them played with iconic singers and bands?

Modular score elements for the webseries, “and Boris.”

I have finally gotten around to sharing some of the modular score elements I wrote for David Kronmiller’s webseries, and Boris. There is a lot of music in here that I didn’t write, and I had no part in any editing or mixing of music or sound. I just wrote some fun percussion cues, part acoustic and part synthesized, for David to use in his work wherever and however he chooses.
