Alexander got a second music placement on the Real World Cancun. It aired back on July 15, I just finally got around to putting it up here. This time the placement was for for “Sing, All You People” instrumental.

This week I finished up mixing and mastering Before You Exit‘s debut album A Short Story Long. The final product is a very strong first release for any band, but especially for a band so young. The album will be released on August 22 at the band’s Hard Rock Live performance.
Buffalo Gun is still in the tracking process for The Bad. Drums and bass are complete and guitar is well on the way. At this point, it’s looking like a September release.
Also, 360ed has released a demo of Conspiracy Code for PC. This is an educational game I scored with David Burleson of Poverty Branch.
For the past two weeks or so, I’ve been working on some instrumental production music . I’m putting them up on lots of different sites, but you can check them out at my AudioJungle portfolio here: http://audiojungle.net/user/randomgong/portfolio.
Brian Casel from Serve The Song posted a great little reminder to musicians: dig through your old material and try a new approach. This past week I reorganized my iTunes library, making sure I kept all of my own recordings. It was really fun seeing how far I have come in terms of writing and production and it really got me in a good mood for the entire week. Please check out the post.
Just a quick update of some studio projects I’ve been working on.
I’m still working on an untitled release for Alexander. His first release of 2009, Concrete And Steeples should be out soon.
I have started tracking for the second Buffalo Gun album, The Bad, which will be another 5-song EP.
I am producing/engineering/programming a score written by Jason Gaskin, singer from Lonely Heroes, for a short film project. I will link a copy to the video when it’s complete.
Thanks for reading!
Last night on Wednesday, March 25, “Fight What” by Alexander was featured on an episode of The Real World Brooklyn. The electronic music in the first half of the clip is the end of “Fight What” and the intro for “Trust Me On This One.” This was a very exciting moment for both me and Ryan (Alexander). You can see the clip below or download the Quicktime file here. Note: I do not claim ownership or rights to this clip, which belong to MTV Networks/Viacom/Paramount.
