11/01/08 New music in Experimental, Orchsetral and Pop Music Vaults.
"Baustelle" is German for 'construction site' and hints at some foley sounds... this way!
"Justice Over Unity" and "Jack & Jimi" can be found in the Pop Music Vault.
"Guitar Undulations" is to be found in the Orchestral Vault: Classical guitar improvisation over a lush, orchestral arrangement opens up mind and soul to aural possibilities... this way!9/15/08 Major site-bug fixed on the FAHLING MUSIC PUBLISHING-page: While doing some online stuff on a friend's windows-based computer last week, I noticed that my publishing page, featuring its licensing library, didn't display correctly in Internet Explorer; it wouldn't grant access to any of the tracks of the music vaults, because I had used so-called framesets in their web design. After some google-research, I found out that most web browsers don't really support that technique - to my dismay, since I've been all about Apple's macs for a few years now and their main browser 'Safari' seems to have no problem with framesets. Anyway, if you at some point tried to access my licensing library with various stylistic categories, and probably didn't quite get to the goodies, please give it another try. It's working now. This way! 8/07/08 Newest additions to the music library in the Pop & Jazz Vaults ("Round N Round" & "Sculpted Pearls") and in the Orchestral Vault ("Vertoont"). Check them out in their respective licensing vaults and read about the new pieces in my newest blog. 7/14/08
