I did the music for Andrew Lehman’s “Neoteny and Human Evolution” video, RT ~10 mins: Andrew reaches a very interesting theory towards the end of the video. Check out his work on evolutionary theory at Neoteny.org. I will be uploading an edited version of the music in mp3 format soon.
I recently completed the score for the trailer to Yi Soon Shin, a comic by Onrie Kompan: The mp3 is available here. Please visit the Yi Soon Shin Website for more information about the comic, it’s very good!
Here is a demonstration of using both the Guitar Hero World Tour Drums for Wii and the Rock Band Drums for Wii to create a full MIDI Drumset: Camille, the programmer of OSCulator, got his program working with the Velocity-sensitive Guitar Hero drums. Download OSCulator here: http://www.osculator.net/wp/ I’m still using JunXion to receive MIDI from […]
My MFA orchestral thesis score for the short film Head Case is available online. Download the tracks here: Vine and Ring Themes, HC Opening, Harold Emerges, Garden Alarm, and Tools Theme. The session was an amazing experience, recorded by LA’s top musicians on the same scoring stage that they record Lost and Fringe, at L.A. […]

Thanks to this post by Camille, developer of OSCulator, I finally got the Wii World Tour drums to work with velocity sensitivity. Unfortunately, as the video demonstrates, they don’t work too well. Either […]
I upgraded the XSPF player to a hugely improved version I found here: http://www.boutell.com/xspf/ Now, as you surf the site, the music will auto-resume to where you left off. Also, if you stop the music, it remains stopped as you surf other pages or come back to my site later. The enhanced XSPF player also […]
I wrote a new facebook app, Group Friends By Location. If you install it, it shows your friends grouped by city, state, or country. This can be used as a reference to create events and easily invite friends in your location. Please try it out and let me know what you think. Note: the app […]
I’m going to be including the floating flash player with my music on some other sites I’ve made. If you’re interested, here is code that you can paste in that will display the floating flash player on your site and remotely fetch the most recent music from my site: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://jordanbalagot.com/float.js”></script> <script> if (NS4) […]
