I am SOOOO excited!
I really should wait until the website is up, but… I can’t.
I’ve hired incredible talent to put this site together for my talented teenage son.
I’ll have lots more to say about HER (the website designer) later. (Believe me when I say her work speaks for itself. You’ll be impressed.)
But for this moment I want to share a few audio files with you… Please bear with me on the awkwardness of this post… MP3 files don’t play as nicely here in the body of this text, or at least I’m dorky enough to not know how to best share them seamlessly…
Here are some recordings my son made tonight… guess I’ll have to delete this post eventually, hm? For now, let’s use the guest password of “alexander”.
Roxas’ Theme, Someone I Can Trust, and Colors of Wind are all his arrangements of Japanese composers’ original works — anime themes through and through.
The last piece, Novelette in Various Minors, is an original composition — which here is a very much re-made version of a piece he composed when he was eleven years old.
I will pull this post down soon… but I just can’t STAND the idea of not sharing with my PLN and very small readership of this blog!
Enjoy! These will be posted only briefly!

It is amazing how our children’s creativity shines when they can focus their efforts. You sound like I do when I talk of my teen’s creative work: proud, amazed & excited.
I was glad you shared this with your PLN, it is all about education and technology.
I love the color and tone in original pieces. Please offer my congratulations to Alex. You have every right to be justifiably proud, and if that inspires him…all ther better.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing! I was absolutely blown away!!!!!!!
I suppose in your world it’s NOT amazing that the tools to share his music exist. But in my print-based marketing world, it’s just short of miraculous that you can bypass the recording label route and “publish” music this way (reminds me of the whole Blair Witch Project phenomenon). Can’t wait to see the website and also hear about what you do with your school kids this year. WTG!
