For one year I composed a new piece every day. What began as an idea about composing for the internet became a lifestyle. Everything became a possible idea for a new piece. Friends and family were always offering suggestions and opinions. I was creating everyday and people were listening everyday.

It was fantastic.

The entire six hours and five minutes of music created during this year remain online in this archive for you to explore. Don't be intimidated by the sheer number of pieces, jump in and see where you end up. There's no one way to begin listening.

For your convenience I have provided three starting points—a chronological listing of dates (pick a birthday or anniversary and see what I was up to on that day), an alphabetical listing of titles (find something with an intriguing name), and an alphabetical listing of categories (see all the pieces labeled ambient or breakbeat).

Still not sure where to begin? Here are some specific suggestions:

looking for a laugh—try Hot or Rush
need a high energy rush—try String Cheese or Perk
feeling dreamy—try Clouds or Shimmer
in the mood for something experimental—try Scrub or Robot Dream

When you're finished here, stop by 5of4.com to see what I'm up to now. Thanks for listening.
