Your Name
“Your Name” is a piece I wrote with my Poolside partner in crime Melinda Hershey nearly a year ago. It transformed over the year more than a handful of times before becoming what you hear now. The piece has a LOT of sentimental value to me on many different layers, and I’m extremely proud of it.
Please, if you enjoy the music, consider purchasing it as all the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. If you’re not comfortable making the purchase, clicking that “share” value does a lot more good than most people realize, too.
Thanks!
Songs for the Cure ‘10 has been released.
I’d like to thank the following people for their hardwork and dedication to making this a possibility:
- Matt Johnson for doing all the artwork that’s on the album and for the “Your Name” promotional video.
- Tara Morrow, Martha Mingle, Danny Clay, Dan Sato, and Matt again for sitting through a grueling five hour recording session for a few of the pieces on the album.
- TIGSource.com, originalsoundversion.com, Zen Albatross, gamemusic4all.com, destructoid.com, and all of the aggregate news feeds that posted about this years album ahead of time.
- Alec and Eileen Holowka and Blinkworks Media who together made an AWESOME promotional and informative film about the drive that pushed a lot of donations our way.
- All of the musicians and hardworkers involved in making this possible. Without them there really would be no cancer drive. In particular a big thanks to Martha Mingle, Danny Clay, and T.R. Beery for being some of the VIPs of my outbox lately.
- Huge, HUGE thanks to Melinda Hershey for really helping me perfect “Your Name” over to past year and providing much of the inspiration for everything in it.
There are probably too many more names to mention, so just hurry up and listen already! http://music.cancerdrive.org
Ladies and gentlemen, Rich Brilli on guitar.
We did this improvisation for the GunGirl 2 soundtrack, and we did it in our sweatpants. Sort of like Alec Holowka (Infinite Ammo) and his Pajama Jam.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA - HOLD ON.
Yes, this is something ENTIRELY new.
Featuring my friend Rich Brilli doing SWEET guitar licks (1st sampled track) like it’s his job to play the music I write. He is insanely good at improving. Go on, let it hurt so good.
Why is this video important?
Thirty one minutes into John Romero - you know, the guy who created DooM, Quake, and is still changing the gaming industry… yeah, that John - anyway, he used MY doom remix at the end (31min).
Why’s this a big deal? I’m a geek, and I’m doing what we do best, and that’s GEEKING OUT. It’s not a particularly good remix, it’s very old and I did it entirely on my old Kurzweil keyboard (including the sequencing, which was a headache). I even got old Doom SFX in there.
Download it here: Doom’s Suite.mp3
Just to make sure I have this right in my head… John Romero heard my song. Used it. Whoa.
It’s so rare when I play piano for a camera that I went ahead and uploaded it. This is what I’m working on for the Indie Music Cancer Drive 2010.
“Your Name” by… me.
