<title>New (old) Kindness Grew Up song recorded</title>
<link>http://www.markblasco.com/index.php?76</link>

<description>I have finished the song "memory", which I started writing in late 2007.  I will likely go back and re-record some of the vocals, but this is very close to the final version.  It will be included in the upcoming Kindness Grew Up album "Secondhand Daylight".  No release date is set as of yet...because this is the first finished song.  As others are finished they will be posted on the website</description>

<title>An update on current projects</title>

<description>Since several people have asked why there haven't been many audio samples posted lately, here is the rundown of what I have been working on:

<br><br>


Earlier in the year I wrote and filmed a short musical about composting at the University of Washington (It won an award, so I guess I should be calling it an "award winning musical").  That was followed by several video entries into Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible Competition (one of those entries, Mr. Terrible, won the competition, and was included in the worldwide DVD release.

<br><br>

Currently, I am working on several album projects, including the new Cirrus Bay album (which I am playing drums and bass on, as well as recording and mixing), an album for folk singer Virginia Blashill, several songs with Donovan Richards (on which I am producing, as well as playing drums, bass, and some keys), and then I am also working on some of my own stuff.

<br><br>

I should have the final version of the Kindness Grew Up song "Memory" finished within the next couple of weeks.  Right now it just needs the vocals recorded and a couple of small edits before mixing.

<br><br>

My notebook is filled with other ideas, including a set of short musicals about zombies, another dozen or so songs for both the Kindness Grew Up and They Are Deadly Sparkles albums, and the beginning of my demo reel for film scores.

<description>This is the second ELE application I put together.  This one is more of a serious application (although still evil), and I really like the song that goes with it.  Enjoy!</description>

<description>For some reason a part of my database has been corrupted, so I will need to rebuild it.  In the mean time, some of the samples and more recent news entries are missing.  It shouldn't have changed or erased any of the audio content, but if you have trouble accessing one of your projects, please let me know so I can fix that as soon as possible.</description>
