Ashes, a short film by writer and director Shawn Montgomery has finished production and will be entering film festivals shortly. Mike Mertes contributed to the short film by scoring two pieces for it. If you happen to be attending film festivals this year and see it, be sure to let me know what you think of the film and the score!

With the closure of my label and recent discovery of the Freedom EP on several torrent sites, I’ve made my decision to official release the Freedom EP on my website for free. You can find the high quality MP3s right in my music download section.
Am I angry about finding the Freedom EP on torrent sites? Not in the slightest, in fact; I find it amusing to see my music on these sites. I’ve always been about sharing things and I feel that doing this will just push the popularity of the single even more. I did the very same thing with my album Ergo and the amount of downloads I got from people in China and Russia was amazing.
If you download and truly enjoy the music, you can always buy an official copy and support my future music projects. You can find the EP as well as many of my other releases on iTunes and Amazon as well as many other digital retailers.
For those of you who bought the EP while the label was still running, I truly appreciate it!
Enjoy the music folks and stay tuned…the best is yet to come.

I decided shortly after my annoucment of my label’s closure that I was going to go ahead and share what was suppose to be my new single for my fans. You can watch the YouTube video above, but if you’d like to download the song, you can do so by clicking below. This song will be added to the music section at some point this weekend, but for now you can get it here!
Unleaded Logic – Arcadia: http://www.unleadedlogic.com/Arcadia/ARCADIA.mp3
I hinted at it a few days ago on my Facebook, but now its official. Something Else Music LTD, my label I am currently signed to will be officially shutting down come the beginning of next month. As such, my planned single “Arcadia” and the first single I was working on with recently signed music group Otaku Nunchaku has been cancelled. Other unannounced projects will be effected as well.
Legally, I can’t talk in-depth about the situation, but the result of the label closing is due to lack of sample clearance with another release (Not one of mine.) The copyright holders of the sample in question are seeking money for damages and the amount easily puts Something Else in the red.
In other words: Game Over.
Let this be a lesson to potential musicians or indie labels looking to put out a release with samples in it: Artists, ALWAYS get permission. Labels: GET THE PERMISSION AGAIN! Don’t gamble your money and your reputation, because eventually they will find you and you will pay.
Regardless of the outcome, I do want to thank Scott Taiden for signing me to the label in the first place. You and the rest of the crew did a amazing job promoting the Freedom EP and taking care of the fees involved. I wish you guys the best of luck with everything.
So where does that leave Unleaded Logic? Its time to refocus and see what the next logical step should be…
Stay tuned.

Have you been experiencing lots of errors when trying to upload your video to YouTube? Does your internet modem disconnect when youre uploading to YouTube and cause your videos to error out when uploading? I was experiencing these errors as well. I would upload a video 8 times and never get it to upload because my modem would disconnect. Using a few tools I was able to get it fixed. Watch this video if you are running into the same thing! This is especially handy if you have a Comcast connection.
