We would like to announce that In the Jungle will be taking a “holiday hiatus” over the festive season. We will quite literally be “wrapping it up” for Christmas and we will be back, bigger and brighter, in 2010. The wait will definitely be worth it however as we’re going to be changing the format of all our blogs in the new year.

This week in our series of interviews of AudioJungle authors, we meet…
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living?
I’m from Portland, Oregon, and I make my living as a software engineer.
2. How long have you been composing music and what got you started producing?
I’ve been composing music for about 20 years on and off. I’ve been interested in recording for a while now but only recently ponied up the cash for a decent mic/preamp and DAW. (more…)
Recently I’ve been looking for new ways to use my Apple TV. A while ago I started downloading video podcasts, and there are some good ones out there.
More recently I have been surfing Youtube, and in particular looking for clips that inspire my musical creativity. Here are nine of my favorites. (more…)
Ardour is an excellent open-source digital audio workstation available for Linux and Mac OSX suitable for professional use. Although it can be obtained free of charge, it’s a great idea to support the author and ensure the ongoing development of software you depend on. (more…)

rtofvnt (or “rt of venture”, Maciej Legowicz, “Matt”)
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living?
My real name is Maciej Legowicz – a Polish name – but I’ve lived more than five years in the UK, and I am always being refer as Matthew by my British friends, as it is something they can pronounce.
My strange AudioJungle nickname has got some background. Do you guys remember the best home computer ever made – apart from the ZX Spectrum – called the Amiga? Ever heard of Amiga scene? A proper bunch of geeks. We had groups – ours was called Venture. We did some demos etc. and my nick name was just “rt”. So, thats how it happened – I’m rt of venture – in short: rtofvnt.
As was mentioned, I come from Poland – you’ve heard about this country … vodka, good looking girls etc. - but I moved with my wife and daughter to the United Kingdom around September 2004, where I live and work. My everyday job is web design and development. It can sometimes be boring, especially when your boss changes his mind every three days. I would really like to be a full time musician … give me some time please. (more…)
