About Steve Kirk

Steve composes for multi-media, and runs Steve Kirk Studios based in Port Orchard, Washington. Projects include Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park and, more recently, Bartlow's Dread Machine. The original soundtrack is now available on Bandcamp: Bartlow's Dread Machine soundtrack.

Steve also uses his studio to produce and arrange music for other artists. Other projects include music for the iOS releases "Skurvy Skallywags" for Beep Games and "Cookie Jam" for SGN. Steve also composed Cantina music for the Star Wars MMOL game "The Old Republic". Further projects include music for the Disney game version of "The Princess And The Frog", and the FarmVille Theme for Zynga. Before that, Steve worked on the wonderfully creative "Voodoo Vince" (Beep Games) composing over three hours of music for the game. The original soundtrack audio CD has received rave reviews, and is available here: Voodoo Vince soundtrack.

PNW AES Zoom Meetings and zoom URL

We started holding our meetings via Zoom beginning with the April 2020 meeting. Zoom has dramatically increased our reach, well beyond our Section's geographic area. Since doing this, we've had attendees from Canada, and as far away as Indonesia, and Australia. Zoom gives the ability to record our meetings, and those recordings will be posted in our past meetings Archive. For now, video from our Zoom meetings can be found (mostly) at Dan Mortensen's YouTube channel.

We use EventBrite to manage our free tickets to meetings. You need to RSVP for yours via the following link. EventBrite sends an email with the Zoom link 2-days, the morning of the event, and 2-hours before the event. Set your email program to recognize the email so it doesn't get shoved into your spam folder.

RSVP here

When you register at EventBrite and when you enter the Zoom meeting, please use your real first and last names so we can get to know each other. You do NOT need to create an EventBrite account to register.

Please Note

In order to maintain decorum and avoid interruptions, even unintended ones, we have established a few ground rules for meeting attendees:

We want to see your full name on display in Zoom at the meeting.
All audience audio and video will be muted for the duration of the event.
The presenter will determine if they can accept questions during the presentation, or wait until specific Q&A times, and that will be announced at the beginning of the meeting. (We often use the "chat" feature to allow attendees to ask questions when they think of them, with moderators passing them on to the presenter at the appropriate time.)
Based on our experience with no-shows, we reserve the right to issue more tickets than available slots. We don't want to turn people away based on inaccurate estimates of attendance, but we do have budgetary limits to the number of slots we can make available. If we reach capacity before you log in, we regret that we have no way to expand capacity at the last minute.
It would be good if you watched the chat stream during the meeting. Not only is it a way to submit questions to the presenters, but it's also a way for others to contact you personally. You have the option there to direct your comment to anyone who is part of the meeting as well as to one person in particular.

Finally, in the rare instance of behavior by an attendee that moderators believe is disruptive, we reserve the right to immediately eject such attendees.

AES PNW 2021-2022 Section Chair
