One of my hobbies is writing computer music (in MIDI format). I have been asked to make music for a computer game a friend is developing, and so many of these pieces were made with this in mind. This stuff takes time (you try it ;-) , so updates take time too. Please send comments to the_geekboy@hotmail.com.

The MP3 version are recommended, for they will sound exactly as I intend. To properly play the MIDI versions, your computer will need a good sound card (like a SoundBlaster Live), or else they will probably sound like a musical greeting card.

NWC stands for Noteworthy Composer, which is the program I use to create these files. A free player of NWC files is available at www.ntworthy.com, and will show the notation while the music plays.

Sent Away Together New *Personal Favorite	A fast-paced piano piece with a classical style in mind, but which has it's contemporary moments. I spent a lot of time on this one. Volume and tempo changes galore, all in an attempt to add some feeling to it. (length: 3m:48s)

I Have Returned New	I don't really know what to say about this one. It's primarily a piano piece. It has some interesting chord progressions, but picks up, and has a good beat. I like it a lot. Is the title an omen of my return to actively updating this page? Probably not. ;) (length: 3m:41s)
