Here’s a new trailer for Leap4Blue by Noel Berry! He started the project at TIGJam: Winnipeg. The music is by your’s truly.

Crank up the speakers, and listen in…
This is the song that my sister Eileen and I wrote for Songs for the Cure – an indie fundraiser for cancer research. We recorded the piece at Private Ear Studios right here in Winnipeg. (behind the scenes)
Check out the rest of the music on the album, and if you like it – buy it! All the money goes to the American Cancer Society.
My sister Eileen and I wrote a track for “Songs for the Cure” this year, and our very generous friends, James and Lisanne of BlinkWorks, were there to document the recording session…
Songs for the Cure is a caner fundraising initiative organized by Josh Whelchel. (the composer behind BoneSaw, and The Spirt Engine games) SftC is a compilation of new tracks from a wide variety of game-related composers. Last year’s CD felt like an explosion of untamed creativity.
This year’s disc is likely to be an even more varied compilation. For information about how to receive a copy of the CD, visit http://CancerDrive.org.
Big Thank You’s go out to James and Lisanne for taking time out of their busy schedule to help us promote the CD and to Neil Cameron of Private Ear for graciously donating time in his studio. (highly recommended!)
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Wow, I just randomly stumbled across these fan-made piano arrangements of Aquaria music on YouTube:
Very well done – the emotionality is vast and it plays with some fun theatrics, but it still feels honest. Powerful stuff.
The Aquaria Soundtrack has been released digitally via Bandcamp. Bandcamp is a pretty neat web service that allows users to stream and share music in addition to purchasing it for download.
We’ve also set up a new shop with BigCartel.com. This service doesn’t require users to create a new account to order CDs and it also takes less of a cut from our profits. Let us know how you think it compares to Etsy in the comments! (I’m thinking about writing a comparison article on the pros and cons of each)
Lastly, a big thank you to all those who already bought the CD, many of who left really nice comments for us. While packing and shipping is a lot of work, it kinda feels like being Santa Claus due to all the positive feedback and warm vibes. Thank you!
We’re also looking into an automated way to give everyone who bought the physical CD a free digital download, so stay tuned for that.
Aquaria: OST has finally launched!
You can get your very own copy from the Infinite Ammo Shop.
There are two options, one is everything you see above, the second is all that plus you get your poster signed by yours truly – and we’ll throw in a few other print extras. (business cards, promotional materials for other indie games, etc)
Etsy (our store interface) takes PayPal. To make shipping easier, please make sure your PayPal address is up to date.
We’ll be setting up the live pajama jam in about 12 hours from time of posting (1pm CST approximately) so come hang out, and see your order being packaged as tasty tunes are jammed o’er the tubes.
RECAP: The jam was a success, clocking in at about 2:45. A surprise appearance by Kenley Kristofferson rounded out the afternoon. It looks like we have our work cut out for us for shipping on Sunday. We’ll try to get as many orders as we can in the mail by Monday.
Note: If you have any feedback for or problems with the ordering system, please let us know in the comments below or via email and we’ll do our best to respond promptly. Thanks!
