SoundClick artist: White Stone - Composition and arrangement from unheard level to all in need.

Hello, My name is Jacob McDonald aka Whitestone. I am a Fullsail Real World Education graduate with an associates degree in Recording Science. I am currently living close to the middle of nowhere in the beautiful green mountain state; Vermont. This is The Whitestone Composition and Arrangement porfolio. Aside from my own musical projects I am interested in Creating musical arrangments for video game and video (film, flash, presentation, website) media more targetted at the independent programmers and film producers. I can also take on small sound design projects.

Now for the musicians out there that need a little composition for some industrial or some Hip-hop and everything in between, I can set you up and with a constatly growing sound library you are garanteed to have something fresh.

Due to the nature of my degree I have an understanding of sound quality and will be able to suit your needs at whatever bit rate your project requires. My workstation is not equipt with surround sound mixxing yet, so I will not be able to take on any 5.1 projects at this time.

Why this name?

Revelation 2:17

Do you play live?

I do not play live because I am a recording artist my stage is inside of a computer and I can be all the musicians at once on my stage.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Mp3 and the internet has its ups and downs, For one now that there is mp3 music can be distributed in high quality a little less than instantly. From the information I have been exposed to Mp3 does not hurt record sails, but actually may increase them in many cases because people can be exposed to some new material without taking a gamble as to wheater they would like it or not. When 15 dollars is on the line many people are less apt to buy an album from a band they never heard of, but when they download three mp3s and really take a liking to the band, they just might take that trip to the store and buy that album that otherwise would have been overlooked. And for the people who cannot afford the new record, I think the band would give those people a copy of the cd for free if they knew them personally.

outside of the realm of record sales, I think that Mp3s have made it possible for a band to be heard and signed when before it wouldn't have been possible, but the flipside of the coin is that we also are now exposed to music that never should have been recorded in the first place this is the part where you remember that you win some and you loose more.
