Ah, to be young and free and have a CD EP on amazon.com

Downloads are OK, but hey! It's on CD! On amazon.com! I'll order a bunch of them and put them in a corner and admire them for 10-12 hours. Daily.

Aerial And Trail EP on CD on amazon.com

It's melodic! It's jazzy! It's ultra-expensive! (unfortunately, TuneCore and amazon.com haven't worked out an EP deal yet, so it's priced as a full album, sorry. Obviously, you'd need to be really slow to buy it at this price, asshole*).

But it's also there, giving me joy and making me feel like a rock star. Yes, a rock star.




*how's that reverse psychology working?

Q-Lat 3 and how I should have announced its release earlier.



A while ago, I wrote the music for a freeware game made by Piste Gamez called Q-Lat3. The game was recently released so you can get it here. It's pretty, it's sweet, it's addictive and it contains some rather charming music - not all of it was written by me, though. The title track and another track that plays during the game (the rockier one) were written by Janne Kivilahti, who also designed the game and did the graphics and SFX (and who is a great guy).

Here's a review in Italian. I don't know what it says. Possibly that I'm awesome.
