Hello all! I'll start off this week's newspost by saying thanks to the folks out there reading.

Recently, after my discovery of the russian composer Alexander Scriabin, I've been unnaturally productive with my music, churning out roughly a piece a week. I recently finished my first set of 4 Etudes, with the completion of Burning Tears.

I'd also like to hook you all up with my submission to nathanallenpinard's Theme Orchestration Contest 2009, "So It Begins". It features solo piano and full orchestra. I'd encourage all of you out there to check it out, and consider submitting your own entries to the competition.

Also, I'd encourage you all to check out EmperorCharlemagne's music. He's a great fellow and an even better musician, constantly pushing the envelope of musical normality and theory in exchange for much deeper, much more beautiful philosophical aspects of the musical experience. I also owe him a major apology since I keep promising reviews and then failing to follow through.

The next things I'd like to address are landmarks. I've recently submitted my 98th audio submission to newgrounds, and within the next few weeks I will be submitting my 100th. I also have 195 fans, and maybe within the next few months I'll make it past the long-awaited 200 fan mark. 2 years, 200 fans, and 100 musical submissions. When I achieve all of the above (one down, two to go!) I'll most definitely be posting a SUPERHUGE newspost looking back on my time here and going through the highlights of my past on this site.

Also, I'd like to let you all know that the Power of Three game is well under way, and the soundtrack is amazing thus far. Unfortunately, alexisgoar had to drop out of the project because of tons of work, but we'll be working with him again in the future. We've found a great new programmer for the project and it continues to move forward.

Also! I have a zerovoter you guys. But oh well. Scores don't matter.

And last but not least,

Cheers!

Sorry guys, I haven't posted anything the past few wednesdays, I've been away.

Anyways, I'd like to encourage you all to check out my new songs here and here! Enjoy! If anyone would like sheet music for either of them, just contact me via PM and we'll figure out a way to get you a PDF. From now on, if you review or favorite a piece of mine you'll receive a PM from me thanking you and asking if you'd like to be updated on future uploads, feel free to turn me down and I won't bug you, and I'll keep the PM's to a minimum so it's not like I'm spamming anyone's inbox.

Other than that, I really have no other news for you guys.

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

This week I'll start off by advertising to you all my new piano piece, "Danse de la Nuit", or "Dance of the Night", inspired greatly by the style of the Polish/French composer Frederic Chopin. For those of you who can read music and would like to read along, or even try to play along (you will probably fail), the sheet music is available on MediaFire. If you have questions, always feel free to contact me.

Also, I am expanding my music base to ReverbNation. In an attempt to encourage people to listen, I have uploaded songs there that are not uploaded here, and some of my very best works are uploaded there as "Fan Exclusive", so become a fan to hear my music at its best.

As for the Power of Three project, all looks good. For those of you who have not see the teaser for the game, feast your eyes. Original music by myself.

Thank you all for reading!

Hello hello hello!

MJTTOMB here for you with bunches of goodies for all of you. Going with our usual agenda, we'll talk about my major projects and I will shamelessly advertise for a random friend who i think you should check out/help out!

First to bat is news on our Power of Three team! The League of Fine Young Gentlemen, being myself, Zyphonee, and alexisGOAR has been accepted and is officially under way, with some great concept art and a soundtrack that's pretty suh-weet if I do say so myself. This week I'd like to suggest you all check out zyphonee's new animation, Paper Flow, which is a great little animation that I think everyone can appreciate, given his relatively limited time in the field of animation. For those of you who wish to get a glimpse of the soundtrack, you can hear two full-length tracks from the soundtrack for free on my ReverbNation page.

Now that we're more on the topic of music and ReverbNation, I'd like to announce that from now on only 50% of my songs will be going here on Newgrounds, here as I approach my 100th audio submission in just over 2 years, and instead I WILL BE POSTING THE OTHER HALF AS FAN-EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOADS on ReverbNation, so take advantage of this now and become a fan here, and you'll have access to my absolute best work faster than anyone else on Newgrounds or elsewhere.

On the topic of landmarks, I currently have 190 fans on Newgrounds, and I look forward to the next 10.

OH! I almost forgot about what all I had mentioned in the title, teehee. Here's my most recent YouTube performance of Grieg's Lyric piece op. 68, No. 3:

Why hello everybawdy!

Like to start off today's updatewith some info on my (still provisional) Power of Three team! I'm working with Zyphonee and alexisGOAR on a game that will hopefully be AMAZIN. So far, the soundtrack is well under way and you can check out the full-length tracks for free here!!!! DO IT!!!

I also made a mock-up opening cinematic thing for the game using some pretty cool and amazingly simple camera tricks. Check it out! (here's a link for now, i'll embed it once it lets me)

:the machine:

Next on the agenda come my musical endeavors. My suite for strings has been put on hold for the summer due to Finale's failure to actually work like it should. That's a big disappointment, especially for me, but I'll find plenty of other ways to keep occupied and try to keep pumping out tracks. One of these ways just so happens to be a potential collab with my good mate MaestroRage, and that should be pretty amazing as well.

I'm also pretty busy in performing as well, with a recital coming up. I'll be playing the first 2 movements of Debussy's Suite Pour le Piano, along with Clair de Lune, possibly some Chopin preludes, and most definitely some Grieg Lyrical Pieces.

Also, a big shout out to anyone out there who'd be willing to either try and collaborate with me, or have me work on their game or video projects, I'd certainly be glad to try. Don't post your comments here, but definitely PM me!

You all are pretty supercool, thanks for reading!

Cheers,
MJTTOMB

This is just great.

For those of who are a little slow, it is indeed the New Year. In the past month, there was a wonderful animation released called One Quiet Winter Night by a good friend and musician, Esn, which featured my old song Rain in the Night. Be sure to check out the animation and leave good feedback for him (or else). Also, I have been asked by a really awesome flash artist to work on a score for his flash, I won't say who it is, but I'm certainly a fan of their work. More word on that when it goes underway.

I'm also planning in participating in the A Minor Piano Collab by zero123music.

I also played a concert last night and did less horribly than I thought I did. I get nervous in front of large audiences and I'm not exaggerating when I say that my fingers were literally shaking violently/freezing up by the end of Clair de Lune. By all means, skip through the first song. If you've heard me play it once, you've heard me play it a thousand times.<div class="blogmedia">

Well, I'm back, and although few of you probably care, I'm making this post anyway, and you can't stop me. I left newgrounds for various reasons, one of them being that I had a very bad writer's block (lasted two months), although i did not mention this in my "going away" message that was so <s>kindly </sarcasm> recieved.

As for christmas presents, I will POSSIBLY be posting an adagio for strings that I have been working on. It is by far my best piece for string orchestra, and I hope to have it played by the Clover Hill Orchestra when they visit my school for a concert this spring. If they do play it, I may have a chance at becoming popular.

The next item in my news agenda is to state that I think I did a good job playing in the concert that I was in during my absence :

And lastly, it would be much appreciated if people could rate my music fairly, because i seem to be getting lots of 0-bombs lately. Balance it out a little, maybe? Please?

kthxbai.

Due to recent events, I will be leaving newgrounds until certain issues have been resolved. I have not seen much done by the administration for the audio portal since they re-did the site.

I will still be on reverbnation, however.

Well, it's been a while since I've kept you guys posted, but here are some things I feel I should be telling you guys about.

Firstly, I'm extremely pumped for the summer, because I'll (hopefully) get to hang out with my friends from a couple years back in middle school. Secondly, and most triumphantly (to quote Bill & Ted), I will be taking piano lessons over the summer, so the level of awesomeness in my songs may very well progress a little bit.

Secondly, I haven't been posting my music as often lately because I've been rather busy, and my writing process is extremely slow. I use theory and logic now, not random notes that have brought me popularity in the past. Although I'd love the popularity, I'd prefer to write music that touches the heart, not just the ears. I'm writing a piece, and I will upload it on wednesday. I'm already nearly done with it, I'm just working on finishing up at the moment. For the really hardcore fans, you can check it out on my ReverbNation page. I made this a fan exclusive song, so I think I'll start a policy of always uploading songs early, so only my ReverbNation fans can hear them. So, in the spirit of making me feel like I'm not wasting my time, please become a fan on ReverbNation, lol.

Thirdly, 127 fans. Woot!

Lastly, I'd like to let people know that I will be participating in this month's MAC. Also, if Simon-F does not win, I would like to ask you all to help me in bombing Canada in hopes of taking out MaestroRage for not realizing how amazing Simon's submission is.

Thanks for reading, folks!
