I've put up my soundtrack to David Galindo's game, "The Oil Blue" on bandcamp.com.  It's a name-your-price system so you can download it for free or send a couple bucks my way.

Live from CO! http://jonathangeer.com/news.html#34 APQ is hitting the road tomorrow.  Or hitting the clouds.  Both actually.  James Anderson, the violinist and his wife Heather (aka 'band manager') are driving and the rest of us lucky bastards are flying.  We have a couple of radio interviews/performances next week and since I'm not sure how often I'll be on the internet I thought I'd let you know about them now in case you want to tune in.

Be sure to check out my two original tunes on the CD - "Esquina Vals" and "Ghost Milonga".  


I've also added all the dates for our CO tour to the calendar page and I've added a couple new music tracks in the "Games" section of the music page.  They're from "The Oil Blue" coming out in just a few days.  They'll show up in the flash player at the top of the page as well.

]]> http://jonathangeer.com/news.html#33 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Official Site - Jonathan Geer - News The Oil Blue - Coming Soon! http://jonathangeer.com/news.html#32 A PC game called "The Oil Blue", which I wrote all the music for, is going to be coming out very soon and there's a great write-up on it over at indiegames.com.  I've heard people say that the timing couldn't be worse for an oil-rigging simulation game and while that's hard to argue with in light of recent events, if you follow that train of thought then there's never really a great time to release first person shooters either.


That being said, I've played the demo and it's quite an atmospheric and inventive game.  If you have any interested in indie games at all at least check out the demo!  Check back tomorrow for some music from the game!

(just not on the updating front) http://jonathangeer.com/news.html#31 I missed my goal of at least an update a month this year.  It has not been because of a lack of activity though!  Rather too much activity :-)  The Austin Piazzolla Quintet has finished its first album!  Recorded and mixed right here at Pot of Earth Studios (aka "my garage").  We're all very proud of it and would love for you to buy copies for all your friends and family!  It will be available through CDBaby shortly and on iTunes soon after.  I'll post another update with more details as soon as that happens!


I'll be updating the calendar this coming week with a lot more dates for all you local folks.  There will be a couple dates for out-of-towners too though!  APQ will be having a couple CD release parties and road trips are highly encouraged!  One will be at the end of July in San Antonio and another at the end of August here in Austin.


Keep checking back this week for updates.  I'm planning on doing one every other day or so to tell you about everything else that's been going on.  And also just to keep things interesting around here :)
