Bunny kNews: September 13, 2008 - The big new thing is Metallica's new album "Death Magnetic" (which I bought on sale today at Fry's for $8.99. NIce!). In a way, Metallica made history by releasing their album simultaneously on CD and as DLC (downloadable content) for Guitar Hero III. The DLC is also forward-compatible with Guitar Hero World Tour, coming out this Fall. To be honest, I really like this album, and it was a great experience to be working on the video game content before the final mixes were even finished. I've worked with isolated Metallica tracks before, but never on unreleased new material. I think this is Metallica's best album since the '80s. It's nice to hear them write and play like this again.

2007:
August 19, 2007 - Well, we're wrapping up work on Guitar Hero 3 - it's been a total blast working on this game,
and I'm looking forward to working on downloadable content for GH3, and future Guitar Hero releases!!

I really had a great time working on GH3! I should give props to the great people I worked with at Neversoft - like
the other MIDI Designers on the team, David Stowater, Geoff Inkel, Brian Marvin, and Chris Vance, as well as the
newest member of the team, Kyle Johnson.

I'd also like to give props to the entire Production staff, specifically Lead Designer Alan Flores and Randy Guillote.
Thanks also to Producers Chris Parise, Scott Pease, and Aaron Habibipour.

I think Guitar Hero 3 is going to rock everybody's world, and GH4 will be even better than that!!

April 02, 2007 - Started work on the video game Guitar Hero 3 for Neversoft/Red Octane/Activision. Predictably,
it's a really fun job! Most of my work on the game involves MIDI design, specifically placement of the notes played
in the game, as well as animation commands for onstage characters.

March 8, 2007 - Got really busy during the 2nd half of 2006 with independent production projects and put
my own album on the back burner. In the meantime, I've recorded more original electronic music, which I'll
post on my music page.

March 1, 2006 - I'm currently working on my next album, choosing songs, and starting recording. I'm shooting for a
release date this Summer or Fall.

February 25, 2006 - I've spent most of this month working on several pen-and-ink illustrations for the upcoming book
"The Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook" by my friends Karl Coryat and Nicholas Dobson, both members of my
ICS lodge. The book details the ICS experience.
