Just wanted to say congrats on working with Linden labs! Been a few years since I last was here. Any improvements on hyperacusis or chance at composing again? Or even teaching?
Anyways, I still think you were one of the more innovative electronic composers out there, and I still have quite a few of your songs.
As for me, you might recall that I was working on a cyberpunk project — still am, just that it's gone through a few changes through the years
@JM: Oh wow! Long time! And thanx a lot! Re: hyperacusis, my hearing hasn't gotten better, but I've become more resilient/used to my condition, so as you may've seen recently, I've been recording and sharing a lot of solo piano music, which is stripped down to essentials. What's new with your cyberpunk project? My passion for cpunk continues!
On a related note, the infohub in Violet is done Torley. Might want to have a look. Sorry it took so long to complete but Barnes is the biggest procrastinator I know. Good thing he's pretty.I just have a few small things to add and finito.
I couldn't think of any other way to contact you, your profile said you don't receive IM's or notecards. See you around the grid!
@ingrid: Oh thanks for letting me know! I look forward to check your artistry out soon! I think what really matters is you kept at it throughout all this time. BTW, like Barnes, you can reach me via work email, torley at lindenlab dot com
Thank you Torley! I love watching you navigate and cam around… And I love your tutorials, they are appreciated! Also, (off topic), I'd love to hear your thoughts on the amazing sim called Tableau. Have you been there?
@Hadley: I was at Tableau the other day and REALLY liked the cemetary! I've visited early incarnations of Tableau, like the desert with the hidden alien nursery too. Glad you like the video tutorials, I appreciate you watching!

Your LL blog post re: dazzle made me hungry for steak.
/me goes to check the freezer…
Your posts are just incredibly helpful, I hope you know how much we all appreciate them
They are done with such humour and kindness 
Hey Torley!
Just wanted to say congrats on working with Linden labs! Been a few years since I last was here. Any improvements on hyperacusis or chance at composing again? Or even teaching?
Anyways, I still think you were one of the more innovative electronic composers out there, and I still have quite a few of your songs.
As for me, you might recall that I was working on a cyberpunk project — still am, just that it's gone through a few changes through the years
Feel free to email me as well!
Cheers!

@JM: Oh wow! Long time! And thanx a lot! Re: hyperacusis, my hearing hasn't gotten better, but I've become more resilient/used to my condition, so as you may've seen recently, I've been recording and sharing a lot of solo piano music, which is stripped down to essentials. What's new with your cyberpunk project? My passion for cpunk continues!
@Jyla: I really thank you for letting me know this, because if you didn't, then I wouldn't know.
More posts, video tutorials, etc. to come!
On a related note, the infohub in Violet is done Torley. Might want to have a look. Sorry it took so long to complete but Barnes is the biggest procrastinator I know. Good thing he's pretty.I just have a few small things to add and finito.
