Reddit reviews Battlestar Galactica: Piano Solo Arrangements

A few quick questions?

1. Will the sheet music for Kara Remembers be available? Awesome tune by the way.
   EDIT: It's here, derp: http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Songbook-Piano-Solo/dp/1617803677
   
   
2. What tools do you use? And if someone wanted to get started on the cheap, would you recommend Linux audio software/hardware (assuming you've tried it)?
   
   
3. Have you jammed with Zimmer, Newton-Howard, Williams, Jablonsky, any of those guys? If not, what kind of project would it take to make it so?
   
   
4. More technical: For the dark haunting pulsing beat in the soundtrack in the later episodes of the Walking Dead, how did you make it?
   
   
5. Concert in Houston? And can you sign MP3s? lol (though it might be possible as a pgp message in the comments section in the id3 tags...)
   
   Thanks!

1. It IS available! http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Songbook-Piano-Solo/dp/1617803677
   
2. Can't vouch for Linux software. I use Digital Performer, Pro Tools, Sibelius as primary software
   
3. Haven't jammed with those guys.
   
4. That heavy synthesizer pulse you're hearing is a combination of a number of synths, run through a number of processors including amp simulators and distortions. The pulsing sound comes from an LFO (low frequency oscillator) on a synth filter. Fun stuff!
   
5. No concert in Houston, but I'm going to be there at Galacticon! Maybe I'll play a little piano if the crowd wants to hear it ;)

I listed that one too. The music is amazing! And now Bear has released a piano book with that music: http://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Songbook-Piano-Solo/dp/1617803677

And he even plays many of the pieces as they are in the book on youtube:

It's in the official BSG songbook (Amazon).
