About Me

Symphoniacal: Sound Occupies Space

This is a large piece of music I have been mixing, editing, and arranging for several years. I took dozens of movies, video games, and sound effects, and mixed them into an entirely unique piece of music. If like film scores, you will absolutely love this. If you're not a big fan of film scores, this just might do the trick. Visit Symphoniacal.com for more information.

My Blog

Worried about illegal immigration? Youre being fooled.

Because MySpace is evil and blocks certain content, I can't embed the video I want into this post.  So, you'll have to watch the video here: http://eric.metze.us/worried-about-illegal-immigration...
