I'm not sure if this is really you (Sxip) but I just found your music. I think what you do it great and is an encouragement for me to continue experimenting with sounds. Thanks for sharing.

Sxip you're wonderful!

Hey, Sxip, if you don't mind me asking--have you had any compositional training? How did you learn to compose? I'd really like to get into that stuff myself, I took an easy intro to composition class last year (the only one they let non-music majors in) but that wasn't a whole lot of help, I can barely get myself out of the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/verse/chorus framework, let alone play with dynamics much like you do on some of the pieces on your site. Short of dropping out of college to go to a conservatory (which I couldn't get into anyway, as I am a rather poor sight-reader), what kind of education/learning resources might one pursue for composition? What was your approach?

But either way, thanks for the compliment on my vid!

Yeah, I guess I could stand a good suit, couldn't I... professionalism counts, it's true. The dirty punk-rocker aesthetic doesn't fly for working musicians, unless your market is 14 year olds... As soon as I graduate from college, I'll get one, I promise. ;) Or at least some nice Hawaiian shirts. Now THOSE are classy. ;)

Hey man, musician to musician--that stuff is just transcendent. Put some more up! Make a DVD, I'd buy it! Beats my crappy songs. The one I have posted is a bad take anyway, I'll try to put some more up soon... but I digress. You're in NYC right? If I'm ever there, I'll keep an eye out for you. Peace.
