Q: Do you have any intention of releasing a Mega64: Version 1 album?
A: This has been an on-again-off-again project for a while, but for the moment it is on temporary hiatus in order to focus on my band, The Dread Crew of Oddwood. Perhaps some time in the not too distant future...

Q: Can I still become a chorus member for your Requiem?
A: As of now, the performance is on temporary hiatus, due to venue and personnel issues beyond my control. If you are interested in being a part of any future performance, send me an e-mail with your voice-part and qualifications, and I will keep you posted as changes develop.

Q: When you're composing a song, do you ever get writer's block?
A: I'd be surprised to meet a composer who doesn't encounter this problem. Most of the time I try not to force the writing process, but occasionally I find myself unable to think of a continuation of a melody in the middle of composing it. When this happens I try to take a break and focus on activities that "jump start" the creative process. This could involve listening to other music, watching films, playing video games, drawing, or sometimes just stopping altogether and hoping I'll come up with an idea later.

Q: I'm creating a film, would you be interested in writing the score?
A: I'm always looking for new projects to work on. If you are interested in working with me on a soundtrack or other music project, feel free to e-mail me.

Q: When writing a song for a film, is the music set along to the video, or is it the other way around?
A: This really varies with each director. When I wrote the score to Mega64, every piece (with the exclusion of one) was written prior to my seeing the footage. With other projects, like The Final Hit, I was given a completed copy of the film with no soundtrack, which I then composed to match each scene. In my experience, writing music to finished video, while much more difficult, is much more rewarding in the end.

Q: When working on a project, how many of your songs are rejected?
A: Fortunately for me this hasn't happened often. On occasion directors have requested I make edits to a piece, but they are usually minor. In the instances where pieces I've written were rejected, they are often replaced with music from different artists. In the music section, any unused pieces are labeled as "Unreleased Tracks".
