Howdy folks, just here to say a few years about my goals for this new year.

First off, I want to best my number of compositions this year... I didn't have as many as last year due to time issues, but I really want to overcome this year at least (or else set a bad trend).

Second off, I want to get my music out there- find some flash developers who need orchestral-cinematic music and deliver. By the end of this year, I aspire to see my music in a game that gets greater than a daily 5th.

Third, I want to go on a journey back through the history of music, and hopefully lead some fellow Newgrounders with me, in a series of competitions, collaborations, and personal projects aimed at chasing down every link in the grand chain of evolution of classical from its humble beginnings in caves and huts to its grand practice in massive halls today... I think we as a whole don't appreciate the thousands who paved the way for our grand orchestras today.

Fourth, I want to help share what knowledge I have in composition with as many people are willing to share their knowledge in return or merely listen.

Fifth, I want to finally set up a group of dedicated artists, programmers, and musicians willing to work together and as parts to both spread their knowledge and make some really awesome games, animations, art pieces, and compositions. Whether this gets done or not, I don't know... but it's something I have wanted to do for a very long time.

Thank you for the awesome year, Newgrounds. I'd like to thank every single person who has downloaded one of my songs or left a review or purchased some of my 3D content. It means a lot to be in a world where people are willing to support the arts and the creative process, however indirectly, and every word counts when it comes to creative enterprises.

May the best of times be upon you all,
-Samulis
