By a fan request (Monkeyface91), I've made a cover to Linkin Park's hit song "New Divide", giving it a different spin on its sound.

Check it out!

My birthday was yesterday (the 7th), so now I'm 27 years old, and life really doesn't seem any more different, except that I'm pushing 30 in a few more years and I'm still in college. Then again, that's my fault for waiting so long to enroll. =p

In other news, by fan request (which I only take when I have time to, which happens to so far be now), I'll be covering a song requested by "MonkeyFace91". Won't say what it is yet as that's part of the surprise, but I will say that it's among today's alternative rock hits.

Also, in the near future, I will be working with a local dubbing studio to do the post-mixing for an anime that is being English dubbed (may or may not get to voice act for it; have to wait for the audition date, but I sure put my name in the hat). It's this independent company's first anime-redubbing project, so hopefully all goes well. Any other information I'm not at liberty to say right now.

Almost forgot. Many people are still wondering what's new in the Hero of Time world, and all I can say is that I'm no longer in the loop of things going on with the film, so I do not know where they are with things. What I do know, from the site (here), is that they plan to do more HoT Spot screenings before they publicly release it online.

...And look on the bright side, we didn't have to spend today fighting off a global alien onslaught.

It's been forever since I've dabbled in techno, but a fan of mine, Justin M. (aka Shadowhawk) commissioned me to compose a piece for his demoreel (his video montage of his film projects). The result is "Arctic Flight", the new piece uploaded to my audio profile.

Check it out!

The Hero of Time Premiere video (with interviews!)!! All the music in this video is either from the score I composed or the rap commercial I composed for for their promo video.

Also, I am now on Facebook, so feel free to add me.

Maybe it's the lack of hours at work. Maybe it's the boredom of not really having much to do in WoW aside from taking a break from end-game dailies to raise a Night Elf Rogue.

I'm thinking about doing a small series of video-game rendition music. Something non-Zelda. Any ideas?

So I lied about the part where I'd have videos, because I brought my digital camcorder and it turned out Joel and David were already shooting video documenting the event, so I figured I'd leave it to them to post it.

There will be some pics, what little I managed to get.

But anyway...

The premiere was an utter success! Not only were there many people for the private 5pm show but the line for the public 7:30pm show went outside the building and damn near wrapped around the building. Both screenings were very well received, which was awesome.

Only part that sucked was that I went to the afterparty before the 7:30 showing and found out that my fans were looking for me, and then I remembered I DID tell them I'd be there (basically, it was a "Oh.....SHIT" moment). So I ran back to the theater and sat in on the last half and was there talking to the people after the movie was over. So I apologize for those of you who missed me (although you may have seen me walking out of the theater; I was wearing my white Blood Elf T-shirt)

It was really great seeing a lot of fans there, and getting to talk to some of them, especially a couple fans that I recognized from fan responses to the movie updates.

So yeah, keep track with the website (www.theherooftime.com) for further updates on future screenings, and I'm almost sure that they will probably release the video document of this premiere on the website (/points to Shadowhawk).

It was great fun, a great film, and a great turnout. Thank you to all of you who came.

Today (5/3/09) I pack. Tomorrow (5/4/09) I leave for Atlanta to prepare for the World Premiere of "The Hero of Time". If you live in or near the Atlanta area, of if you're willing to road-trip it, I recommend that you don't miss this. I'm really excited about it, and I plan to hang out at the theater before the movie starts. I'm eager to see you guys, and I hope you guys enjoy the film and its music!

I'm bringing my digital camcorder along with me, so when I come back (Sunday night, 6/7/09) I'll have some pics on my Myspace from the event and a video of how things went. See you guys there!
