World famous vocalist Microsoft Sam is back! After being instrumental in the development and release of Windows Vista, Sam chose to spend a brief eleven year long sabbatical with his family, pursuing various hobbies such as embarking on a brief acting career, giving promotional talks on his YouTube channel, and making several stand-up apperances on the world stage at the Open Microphone Comedy Festival. He even had a brief 6 year long career at a local Walmart to, in his own words, "better understand the working class of America".
"Yes, I've always been interested in music. I wrote several songs during my time on Windows XP, but just never had the time to record anything. I'm happy that I can finally pursue my one true passion."
Launching his first promotional single off of his debut album "My World", Microsoft Sam has been wowing audiences worldwide for years with his deep and luscious voice, with a timbre that has been compared to Barry White. He prides himself on not using any autotune whatsoever in his productions, and believes an all natural sound is key to success. Tickets are now available for Microsoft Sam's 2019 world tour. Hurry! Due to Microsoft Sam's popularity, tickets may very well sell out soon!
(UPDATE 05/02/2018: It's with regret that we have to announce Sam has chosen to cancel his world tour in order to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests)
(UPDATE 05/06/2018: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Microsoft Sam. He was found unresponsive in his apartment this morning by a friend of the family and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. He is survived by his wife Mary and his son Mike. His family has requested that their privacy be respected in this time of great sadness. A memorial concert is being planned in his memory for this Sunday, and tickets are on now on sale. All proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Prevention of Suicide)
(UPDATE 05/07/2018: The memorial concert has unfortunately been postponed due to scheduling conflicts and tickets are no longer on sale. Any tickets which may have been purchased will be refunded)

Fun story behind this one:
In late 2013, I was hired to write the score for an indie MMORPG which was about to be kickstarted (For $100,000! Astonishingly, it failed!). The developer had gotten rid of their previous composer, the Kickstarter was just a week and a half away from beginning, by which time, there needed to be a trailer and tech demo complete with ~15 minutes of music. To make matters worse, I had a week-long holiday booked three days after I was hired, which meant I only had 72 hours to write ~15 minutes of music. Fun!
Somehow, with little-to-no sleep for those three days, I managed it, and I think the results turned out alright. It's not my best work, but considering I was falling asleep every 5 minutes and in excruciating pain towards the end of writing it, I think I deserve a pass. I hadn't listened to most of it since I first wrote it, and I figured it was good enough to upload.
Despite all of that work, the Kickstarter ended up being pushed back a month (because visual artists are wimps and can't go three days without sleep, apparently). Even worse, after writing another two more tracks for the game, I was eventually dropped from the project over creative differences, the music was never used, and I never got paid for my work. :)
Anyway, the moral of the story is to put rejection provisions into your contracts (or just don't become a composer, that's also a very reasonable course of action). Hopefully someone here will find some use for the music, it's all up under Creative Commons. Enjoy!
