Expand is a single player video game in which players explore a circular labyrinth constructed as an abstract black and white geometric landscape. Players must avoid getting squashed as the labyrinth twists, stretches and reveals itself, always responding to the players actions and movements.

Failing Hard Drive Study I

Sweet Retreat - Candy Crush 'Sweet' TVC 2014

Recently I was asked to write the music for Taste Creative’s latest video. For this, I had the opportunity to compose the music during preproduction. They hadn’t even begun shooting the video until after the music was written. This allowed me to really focus on the music and to bring it to it’s fullest potential.

Holly

A song I wrote for a certain someone. Enjoy.

Special thanks to Angela Vlachos, Jasmine Crisp, and Hugh Edwards for guest vocals.

Lyrics:
Most creatures harm and harrow
But this tiger's just serene
She spies a spot of yellow
Amongst a sea of green

Sunflower asks his pardon
Tall, a bloom to guard her
The wild creature tends her garden
The garden mends her fur

There is music, a duet
For this harmony, we beget

Shadows come to hurt the beast
Bringing unseen arms with them
Upon the heart they unleash
With their twisted rhythm

Petals shelter from the storm
And sun burns out darkness
Roots dig deep to find their form
Leaves build her harness

There is music, a duet
For this harmony, we beget

Sun and water can't
The call to hunt is too strong
When the flower's back did wane
She would leave before long

There is music, in this chorus
For, my love, we sing for us

Strength I shall find
To fix this
Broken back and carry my-
self again

Don't shelter me
To flowers
Tears are just another type
Of rain

That help them to grow

The Tiger And The Sunflower
