I've had quite a few people complain that I haven't provided audio samples of the music from the album. Against my better judgement, I've caved in a decided to give the people what they want so...
For those who are audio savvy, what you have there is a heavily filtered, mono summed, vinyl static, 1 measure of each song, preview of the album.
For those not as audio friendly, what you have there is a horrible quality preview!
Clearly, I'm a man of the people.....
ENJOY and keep checking in!
P.S. There WILL be better audio clips soon!

The day has arrived. ATLER EGO is finally being anounced to the public. The official statement is:
"I am pleased to announce the release of my debut album, ALTER EGO available on TUESDAY JUNE 17.
This is a culmination of a year of very hard work, and features 13 tracks of all original music.
Every album has a hook and I am pleased to announce that this album has two:
1. This project began as a portfolio piece for me so I would have something to show to potential Jingle studios. Therefore, the album features music in MANY different genres. From Hip-hop to Electronic, Orchestral to Jazz, Latin to Metal, and others, you are sure to fall in love with this CD!
2. Nearly every track features a guest artist, many of which, you will know and adore. Believe me, these musicians have pulled out all the stops; you'll be blown away!"
This album has already received high praise and is sure to sell well.
The album sales will be primarily through digital downloads at CD Baby, iTunes, Yahoo Music, etc., but I have decided to sell on 20 hard copies of the CD which will go fast! CD Baby will be handling the PRESALES which will begin TUESDAY JUNE 10. The OFFICIAL ALBUM RELEASE will be the following TUESDAY JUNE 17, which is when the CDs will ship out to their buyers and digital downloads will be available from CD Baby. iTunes, Yahoo Music, and the others will follow shortly after.
I will post a link to the CD Baby album page for Alter Ego as soon as it's up and running and I will give more details on the purchasing process at that time!
BE SURE TO STAY TUNED!

A man by the name of Rich Whitehouse set out on a hefty journey to bring a short PC game that is based on the story of Final Fantasy 7 that's called AVALANCHE. Being a strict Mac user, I haven't been able to play the game, but after watching the two videos (Intro Sequence and Gameplay Footage), I can see just how incredible it is. It was an amazing endeavor for him. Why am I reporting on this? Here's why: he chose music from the Final Fantasy 7: Voices of the Lifestream Project to use in the game and both tracks I did for the project ended up in Rich's game: Frozen Landscape and Sephiroth's Wake (the latter can be heard briefly in the Gameplay Footage video at :55). Be sure to head over to the site and check it out! It's really an amazing accomplishment for Rich. If nothing else, you'll have to tell me how well my tracks work in the game since I'll never be able to play it myself :)!
