Danny Stewart

Welcome to the newly updated DannyStewart.com. In the sprit of the new year, not to mention the new Doctor, I’ve decided that it’s time for a bit of a change for the various facets of my online persona. That means a new look for DannyStewart.com, a new theme for my Twitter profile, and a new avatar across all of my various accounts. I hope you like the new design. As always, comments are welcome.

Happy new year!

Someone paid for one of my tracks today on my music site, which, needless to say, was cause for much rejoicing. This was actually a mistake, as I’d forgotten to disable the paid download option on that particular track, but still. In light of that, I have decided to re-enable optional payment for all my original music. Here’s how it’s going to work:

Doctor Who Themes
Unfortunately I can’t accept payment for Doctor Who themes, as much as I’d like to (it’s not like I don’t put a lot of work into them). But if I even offered it as an option, the BBC would come and lynch me. If you really like my Doctor Who themes, I’d be thrilled if you would consider making a small donation using the Donate button on my Contact page, or buy some of my other music.

Original Music
All my original music will continue to be available at no cost in 128 kbps MP3 format only. If you would like it in higher quality, or just want to support me, you can specify any amount you would like to pay for any track or album, according to these basic guidelines:
Individual Track (album or standalone): $1 minimum (or 128 kbps MP3 for free)
Full Album (<5 tracks): $3 minimum (no full album download for free, individual tracks only)
Full Album (5+ tracks): $5 minimum (no full album download for free, individual tracks only)

Thanks so much to everyone willing to support me, and I hope you find the new system agreeable.

I recently rediscovered a set of demo music that I did for a Doctor Who fan project in late 2006. Unfortunately the project never came to be and my music was never used, but I’ve now added several of the 30-second test themes that I did for various major villains that were to appear in the project to my music site. The themes are available here.

I’ve just finished uploading several new Doctor Who themes from my archive to my music site. These are nothing new, but as far as I know they have not been released publicly up to now.

Here’s the full list (with links):

• Doctor Who: 45th Anniversary Theme
• Whovicast Theme
• Through the Ages
• DG Opening Master
• DG Closing Master
• DG Closing Master (TV Version)
• DG Opening/Closing Hybrid
• DG Demo Theme Remix
• DG Cosmos Mix
• DG Cosmos Mix (Closing Version)
• Synth Gold

Enjoy!

I’m pleased to announce a very significant overhaul to my music site. If you haven’t been there in a while, I highly recommend that you take another look.

Here are a few of the changes:

• New track! Not a huge addition, but I’ve added an extended version of J.J. Abrams’s theme music from Fringe. I’m a big fan of Fringe and I really like the theme music, so I made an extended version of it (seeing as I’d already recreated the original several months ago).
• Old music reposted. A while ago, I made the decision to take down some of my original music in case I decided to reuse it for my album. I’ve changed my mind about this now. If anything currently posted does end up making it to my album, it’ll be so different that there won’t be any harm in leaving the original online. I don’t have much original music available, so I feel like I should leave as much of it up on my site as I can. You’ll find my old music posted under a new album titled Our Last Sunset.
• Better Doctor Who organization. I’ve broken my Doctor Who themes into three separate albums: Themes and Remixes, for my original mixes, Dominic Glynn Remixes for remixes of Dominic Glynn’s theme, and New Series Mixes for anything based on Murray Gold’s era.
• New album art for my Doctor Who themes. Pretty self-explanatory. I designed a brand new cover for each of my new albums. I hope you’re as happy with them as I am.

What’s still to come:

• More older original music (maybe). If I can scrounge up some more original music from the past few years, I’ll be posting it under Our Last Sunset.
• More Doctor Who themes. I have several more Doctor Who themes that I can put up. As soon as I can get the mixes together, I’ll be posting those to the site as well.
• Some old unused themes for Doctor Who aliens. A set of themes I wrote a few years ago for various Doctor Who aliens (Sontarans, Rutans, the Master, etc.). These were for a production a friend was working on, but were ultimately never used.

I hope you guys like the changes. Please download away—all the music is free, as always.
