Welcome to the new JamieKlenetsky.com - featuring my music, philosophy, and of course, this podcast. I've been working very hard on this redesign, and I hope you all enjoy it.

If you look at the top navigation, you will find my works (many posted in .mp3 form), my philosophy on music, and a biography, as well as links and contact information. I will hopefully be posting more in the future. The front page of the site acts as a music/site blog.

Please enjoy! If I'm a little slow on the song this week, well, you'll know why.

Between catching up with old friends, going to parties, and watching plenty of bad movies, I decided to take a break this week. Don't fret - I'll be back to posting music next Monday!

I'd like to thank everyone for their support with this site. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback and encouragement. I didn't realize how crazy I was for starting Song-a-Week, but I've kept it up so far, and have hopefully written some pretty cool stuff for you all to enjoy!

On Wednesday, January 9th, I am heading out to Omaha, NE for the Karen Sokolof Javitch Composition Competition, where I am a finalist. It's pretty scary, but very exciting. A wonderful way to start the new year!

Have a Happy New Year and I'll see you in 2008!

A quick note - I updated the layout for better usability. Note the new "About" section, the easier-to-read text and links. I'll add more to the side-bar as time goes on. Please leave comments to let me know how you like this redo!

My name is Jamie Klenetsky. I'm a 23-year old professional web designer, but my real love is music, specifically composition. I write classical, pop, and things in-between...when I can force myself to focus! Having a job has made it hard to force myself to write.

That's where this podcast comes in. I'll attempt to write a new song/piece every week, in whatever style I choose. Some weeks might be an electronic pop vocal song, others might be a 2 minute long violin concerto - who knows? I'll accompany these works with a blog post explaining how I managed to write the song of the week.

I'm planning on having a new song posted every Monday. I'll need a bit to get started, though. The next post you see here will be the beginning of Song-a-Week!
