Blog post
Over the past couple of months I have been busy juggling about 100 different things. With GDC 2007 coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I would share what has been going on.

Sound Media Xtreme
I am proud to announce the formation of Sound Media Xtreme, the parent company to SMXAudio and SMX Video. The company was founded by Troy Luccketta and me. We have been working very hard to bring everything together in time for GDC 2007.

Our goal as a company is to form a partnership between the music and game development industries in an endeavor to take both to the next level of entertainment standards.

We have a coming soon web page and a demo. The website art is still in rough format, but the real site will be up in time for GDC. The most important part of the site is the demo. We made a collage of different styles of music which shows our diversity. Here is the link:

Demo Reel

The company has been built around the talents of five individuals. In addition to the core individuals, we have a huge talent pool and can take on any size project and any style of music. Here is the break down of the main team and our job functions:

Jon Jorajuria - Business Director/Executive Producer
Troy Luccketta - Project Director/Producer
Marc Bonilla - Music Director
Ryan Greene - Recording Engineer
Brad White - Video Production Director

We have two production facilities and work with digital, analog, and midi recordings. We have a bunch of projects we are working on, unfortunately they are under NDA. We are also working on a couple of projects that we think will appeal to the GarageGames community.

Conclusion
I am really excited about all the projects that are in the works. Over the next 30 - 60 days more information about these projects will be released. Please take the time to check out the SMX demo.

We have three facilities:

Production 02 - Los Angeles, CA
Mix down and Mastering - Scottsdale, AZ

The one above is Production 01 and is the med size studio. Once the website goes live, you will be able to see all three.
