Howdy. I'm Michael Donaldson.
I'm a constultant for the music industry, working with emerging artists and labels. I also manage a label of my own, named 8D Industries, and publish + license music under 8DSync. Sometimes I'm a Q-Burns Abstract Message. But mostly I'm just trying to keep these damn cats out of my office.

I like to send postcards to my friends, and if you'd like I'll send one to you.
Oh, and here's what I'm working on now.
