Aaron Walz, Video Game Composer Blog

OK so I thought the economy was down the pipes? You wouldn’t know it at the Intuit Holiday Party… ballroom dancers, Brazilian dancers, several live bands, amazing food and desserts, casino games and dealers and professional photographers. Performers included: Kaweh, Latin Rhythms, Eric Jarmie, Galo Rivera, Boca Do Rio, SRO, The Angelo Piano Duo & Joyce Cooling. Joyce was my favorite.

Yes, very cool party, but it makes me wonder how a company can justify laying off many people and outsourcing jobs to save money, and then spending what I can only imagine is a small fortune on a party…

But I enjoyed the great music and food. Hmm maybe one day Walz Music will have a great Holiday Party! But we would also like to be socially conscious and not wasteful. Here are some pictures and a video!

Wow it’s like… summer still in San Francisco!  Very nice!  I must admit my favorite weather is rain… and I miss it.  But I do also like the sun.  I’ve been working hard on marketing and also composing for Aveyond 3!  Stay tuned!

OH happy days - the forum is FIXED!  Thanks, Alex!

If you are in California and old enough to vote… please realize PROP 8 is winning here… that means… gay marraige will be overturned and all existing marraiges will be torn apart. This is a travesty. In the past, ethnicities and mixed race couples were forbidden from marrying… this is not the first time people have fought for equal rights.

There is no reason why anyone should stop two responsible adults from getting married. They need the same rights as other couples.

If this passes, people’s beautiful dreams and weddings will be UNDONE. Young people will face a future without being supported by society or rights with their future partners. Please tell everyone you know in CA to vote NO on Prop 8.

So Jason and I were playing Bomberman on my laptop during a flight. We kept saying things like, “ooh, I got another bomb!” Or “I’m gonna blow you up!” ETC…

Not a good idea to play this game on a plane these days. Luckily no one even seemed to notice.

Love the game. The theme song is pretty memorable too! And the characters are so cute and their sounds are adorable.

Bomberman!

San Francisco folks know that we don’t get summer suntil late August or September. Marin and Sonoma folks up north tease us as they swim in the sun and we frown in the fog. But now the tides have turned.  It gets over 100 degrees up there, and instead, here, we get the most pleasant weather ever.

It makes me feel alive and happy. Right in time for a three day weekend! Yes!

Alright!  Finally did it - created my own blog. Why? I need a place to share some good music making tips with all of you and get these passions off my chest! Well I also confess it will be a nice place to mull over personal growth progress, musings, and Self-Employment and business challenges!

For those of you who don’t know already, I’m Aaron Walz and I’m a video game music composer. I won Game Tunnel’s Best Soundtrack Award for Aveyond, which features acoustic orchestral recordings. 

Thanks for readin’ and please feel free to comment!
