Music Meridian

Many of you who know me personally know that I've been working on composing a giant percussion ensemble piece called "Fiend Vs. Foe" for quite some time. It's a lot harder that it looks!

Many sections I like, but there's a lot of work to go. Concurrently I've been working on a bunch of other material. Some works by other composers as well as my own. I've decided to make an album out of these odds n' ends as well as preview material from the full-blown "Fiend Vs. Foe".

Here's the proposed tracklisting. Recording has started this week. Hopefully I'll have this ready for public consumption before 2007 ends. Stay tuned.
