Yes, I’m still here and still working on Marian – every day! In fact, I don’t think I’ve had a day in the last year or so with no Marian involved.
But I digress!
I’ve made the 4 bonus tracks on the Aquaria OST available for streaming. They include a full track from Marian. Music is a big part of Marian, and while lots has been written, there is much, much more to write. Maybe I’ll tease some more pieces out slowly over the next DECADE. (geez, I hope not) Enjoy!

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!)
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.
