An Original 'N'otion Picture Soundtrack by Keith Richie

When a family moves from the quiet suburbs of Downey, California to a remote farmhouse in Texas, they hope for peace and renewal. What they find instead is something far older and more sinister—an unseen force tethered to the land, festering in the silence, unraveling their sanity one thread at a time.

As unease gives way to full-blown horror, they are pulled into a waking nightmare where perception fractures, trust dissolves, and reality becomes twisted beyond recognition. At the center of it all is a malevolent entity—Mister Stichs—a presence that doesn’t merely haunt but hunts.

This cinematic concept album is a dark ambient descent into psychological terror, merging vintage synth horror with modern sound design. Drawing influence from John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, and the haunting landscapes of classic suspense scores, Mister Stichs delivers an unsettling, immersive experience built on analog textures, spectral atmospheres, and emotionally resonant melodies.

With chilling ambience, bursts of dread, and fleeting glimpses of fragile beauty, Mister Stichs is not just a soundtrack—it’s a sonic horror story.

Critical Praise:

“A sophisticated and unrelenting journey into darkness.”
— Ben Dugas, ZoneMusicReporter.com

“Mister Stichs is impressively reminiscent of a John Carpenter film score, and it evokes the spirit of Tangerine Dream. With masterful use of vintage and modern synths, and suspenseful, surround-like effects, Keith Richie proves once again that he ranks among today’s finest electronic composers.”
— Candice Michelle, Journeyscapes Radio

A Song For You

At the moment, I am in the middle of various stages in my life. I've sold my business & am embarking on a full time music career. I'm also in the process of shifting houses to an area a few 100 kilometres away, so everything feels like shifting ice underneath my feet. The phrase "Find your way" came to me as I sat at the piano for this improvisation & here is the result.
