I've been on SC before and then deleted things and lapsed from it. The One Synth Challenge and the people on the KVR forums are what drew me back: https://sites.google.com/site/kvrosc/.   A very welcoming community. Yes, I wanted to win. And no, I don't think I will.  I learned a lot along the way though.

I write and produce (i.e. make recordings of) various kinds music.  At the moment I use SONAR Platinum Producer to help me do this and I hope to be upload more pieces soon.   I'm trying to catalogue everything and decide what to do with it all. Currently I'm working on a revision of something I wrote in '99.

Well that didn't work out - at least not yet.  I'm going to be busy with a big project for the next year or so and I might not be posting much for quite a while.  

Big project still progressing but I hope to add some smaller things while I am finishing it.
