Welcome to the launch of mphmusic’s new site! Watch this space for all the latest news and developments on work in progress. This page will be updated every couple of months or so - remember to check back regularly.

July 2004

Firstly, I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone who has had a browse of the new site, especially those who have given feedback.

Due to a few people’s dislike of Real Player for whatever reasons, I have now provided audio clips in both Real Media and Windows Media formats. The Windows Media clips; although slightly poorer in quality, have provided better access for dial-up users and enabled me to upload full videos/tracks for the showreel page.

Also keep an eye out for some new clips that will be added to the site this month.

September 2004

Many of you will notice that, as promised, a fair few tracks have been added to the listening demos section of the site and once again, I have received some positive feedback from those of you who have had a listen.

I have now also had interest from filmmakers who wish to use some of my work. When I receive these films, you can guarantee they will appear on the showreel section of the site. Details will be posted here when they arrive.

November 2004

I apologise for the lack of entries on this page recently - I have been busy though:

One of my compositions is to be used in a film by Monkey Mac Productions. The piece to be used is entitled ‘Solo Dance’ on my Showreel page as it was originally written for a dance film, but filmmaker Jessie Mac felt that it was perfect for his film ‘Castell de Ferro’. The film is still in production - see www.monkeymac.com for details.

I am also now doing a Diploma in Music for the Media alongside the freelance work. The Diploma should confirm my dedication and ability to work in the field.

February 2005

Noticed anything different? What do you mean “no”?!

Well I’ve made the homepage more accessible for a start. I’ve split the listening section of my site into an audio showreel and a video showreel, alongside details of my album. The audio showreel is split into categories for easy navigation and I’ve added a few more track samples here and there. Each sample now has its own page for rapid load times. I’ve also improved the layout on the listening pages. And just so you can see where my music has been used, I have created a ‘credits’ page.

Now you feel guilty for not noticing don’t you?

May 2005

Well the new site has been up and running for over a year now, and looking better than ever. Although progress has been slow, the site has been gradually increasing in popularity as well as content. Speaking of which, there has been more track samples added to the audio listening pages, and there is still more to come, so keep coming back for the new stuff.

Other than that, that just about sums up this diary entry, so until next time, thank you and goodnight!

August 2005

Mike Harrison becomes Composer of the Week! As a member of shootingpeople.org I have been asked to feature first in a new article designed to draw the attention to composers in this ever growing film network. This new venture aims to highlight the talent of amateur composers to filmmakers, directors, animators and so on, in the hope that it will generate interest in the music of SP composers. So on the week of 14/11/2005, Mike Harrison is Shooting People’s Composer of the Week!

Updates this month include an animation in the video showreel!
