Between my job going awesomely, the excitement of designing the set for Western’s Big Purple Couch, having my friend’s string quartet learn my rendition of O Canada, running a D&D campaign with some friends and finally recruiting some singers to help me make some demos for Dysfunction, I’ve had next to zero down-time.

Unfortunately, the aformentioned events offer nothing to share on my blog (yet!!), but give it a month and I’ll have real updates about stuff! Big stuff! Cool stuff! Stuff that will make not hate my blog so much! Haha, so as a peace offering, I’m giving you a sneak listen of this version of my Festival Waltz that I’ve been working on. I wanted to give it a latin/blues feel, so it’s got some sax, marimba, pizzicato, bass, lil bit of steel drum. It’s different. Darcy (@darcypatrick on twitter) is trying to convince me to arrange it for string quartet, but we’ll see.

Hope everyone’s summers are going as great as mine.
