The bad news: I’ve removed the option to download the free low quality mp3 versions of my albums.

The good news:  There is now no minimum cost for the high quality versions so you can download the various super-high quality formats (and lossless formats) for for free. The removed minimum also allows for small donations in the $1 – $5 range – now that is good news .

As for the new album. It’s coming. Have hit a little bit of a wall with it though – it’s mostly complete, but I think it still be missing something. Could I interest anyone in a preview in exchange for some suggestions/critique/ideas?

I’ve had a number of people asking what I use to make music. Well I used FL Studio to compose/mix the first two but with a lot of extra samples from all over the place with a bit of live recording thanks to some willing participants. Unfortunately I don’t make enough (any) money from Lunar to justify using a real orchestra so its all East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra.

With album number 3 (whatever it is to be called) a few things have changed. Firstly I switched to a Mac which makes FL Studio no longer an option. Its been a nice change though, giving me a chance to try some new tools. I’ve written/recorded most of the new album in Ableton Live which is a lot of fun and in some ways simpler than FL but more flexible (that is, not a complete hack – no offence to FL Studio ). The other thing that is nice about Live is precisely that. You can use it live. And I’d be into doing some live stuff sometime after the album has been released.

While I’m in the mood for answering questions, if anybody has any thing they want to ask, now would be a great time. Maybe we can start a little FAQ thread.

Edit: Updated good news for clarity (I hope)
