Having lived in Austin for the last 6 years, my mind instantly went to a shoegazey, West Texas vibe for my Starr Mazer Theme-ix entry.

Space is a cold and lonesome place, after all.

Here's Alex Mauer's fabulous original theme for context:

It was my pleasure to arrange and produce a cover for the latest Materia Collective release - PATTERN: an homage to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

Jessica Curry is a personal hero and inspiration to me, and her music truly moved us as a group as we put these songs together. Please consider supporting our efforts on Loudr, iTunes, etc.

Special thanks for Matthew Chastney for contributing guitars and bass, and Stephanie Smith for lending her voice and flute.

Enjoy!

Hunter or Hunted (theme for TheShoplift.com)

I went to my first GDC a few months ago and heard some great advice from composers telling us to do more work with live musicians and rely less on samples. 

This also happened to be the same GDC where Journey won every award ever :)

SO...I decided to do an arrangement/transcription of Nascence, and enlist the help of some talented musician friends to record it live.

I tracked in Logic using a pair of Schoeps mics into a Presonus StudioLive at 48/24. Minimal EQ/limiting was used once in Logic, although I did employ a healthy amount of Space Designer since the AC in the room we used was pretty loud :)

Nascence from Journey Soundtrack (Cover)

Veering more and more into "concept" territory. Basic plot is -- Ness is in Dr. Andonuts' lab, hears knocking at door, swirling static crescendos until he hears a voice...

Then birds.

He's awake. It was a dream. Gets ready for the day. All is peaceful until.

There's a knock at the door.
