I'd like to reiterate that if anyone has requests for a project loop track, I'd love to hear them. Right now I'm having trouble motivating myself to come up with things because of all of the other projects I'm doing, but if given some direction I think I could squeeze out one or two a month minimum. So leave suggestions in the comments below if you have any, or you can always use the contact form.

Cheers,
Candy

Before I even start anything else, I'd like to thank the people who have been using my music from Project Loop in their videos recently. I love hearing about it when you do, and watching the videos that you've made. It makes me really happy to see that it's useful to people and fills some sort of need. So thank you :)

The last month has sort of slipped me by. I'm not sure where it went. Regardless, I seem to have avoided updating pretty much everything on the internet during that time, so let's do a little catching up, shall we?

Posting some links to other sites has been long overdue, and the blog seems the most appropriate place to put them. Since they're all new this time, I'll explain them all here, but as things get added new links will get their own posts. I don't link anything that I don't think is actually relevant somehow. As a side note, you might already know most if not all of these sites if you are a YouTuber, but that won't stop me from linking them and writing about how awesome they are.

Tonight I was inspired to write a short character piece, and made a quick recording of it for Project Loop - it's called looking out the window on a rainy day. You can find it here.

Current Projects:

I'm writing a set of songs (NOT a song cycle, though) for the amazing Diana Bryan. It's going to be settings of five Emily Dickinson poems, with three to be done for a partial premiere in December.

I recently finished an arrangement of Dvorak's Song to the Moon from his opera, Rusalka, for the lovely ladies of Four Voices String Quartet. It's for solo instrument and quartet, and now I'm working on a quartet-only version. I hope to have the draft of that done in a few weeks. (P.S. Four Voices is amazing and I highly recommend them - they played at my wedding and I was more than happy for it.)
