Cauchemar [ko sh(eu) mahr] (French: 'nightmarish') is a composer, producer, mixing engineer & multi-instrumentalist of neo-classical, innovative & experimental electro-orchestral music immersed in dissonant, decadent sonorities and overtly emotional, yearning melodies. 

Possessing a diverse sound-palette, and working in contemporary classical, film and electronic music, Cauchemar's compositions are rich in atmosphere, sensitive to the most expressive harmonic combinations, and filled with asymmetrical phrases, unpredictable forms, and experimental textures.

With a self-studied background in composition for orchestral and chamber ensembles, specifically focusing on 20th century concert techniques such as serialism and atonality, Cauchemar transitioned into electronic music production and engineering his own recordings in 2011 with the advent of the avant-garde/post-industrial group Embrace Our Nature.

The duo celebrates the release of its self-titled 17-track debut, which highlights demonstrative vocalist Cavanaugh, whose dramatic delivery echoes David Byrne in his Talking Heads days and Violent Femmes' Gordon Gano. On the' eclectic disk, the pair swerves from cabaret-folk to arty post-punk to jangly minor chord alt-pop without losing its, identity or its sense of humor...(Courtney Devores Charlotte Observer 6/4/2010)

Solo project using GarageBand on an iPhone 6 plus. 

I use a Schecter Electric Guitar with an iRig mobile, and a pair of iPhone stock headphones to record vocals.  Some tracks use an acoustic guitar miked with the iPhone headphones.  Many tracks are recorded in a pickup truck.  I have used hand tools as percussion instruments and I have been known to record vocals while driving. 

For the most part these are recorded in one take per instrument - lyrics are only written down AFTER the song is "done".  The lyrics are fantastical and improvised, often recorded in a car.  This is rock and roll fantasy escapism for me. 

I used to play drums in several bands but have always messed around with any instrument I can get my hands on.  No formal training in any of this.

So enjoy! Don't take them too seriously, and use your imagination!

As for the art work, I have been using images of outer space from https://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinmgill/ under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ and Fraenk Darko does the artwork for all of the collaborations we do.
Most everything else is created by me, but I give credit to others in the track descriptions in a few cases.

confused transplant in france. seeking collaborators who don't live many miles away, and don't mind that my french is terrible.

We write songs about mental illness and the horrors of end-stage capitalism couched vaguely behind metaphors culled from childish conceptions of being haunted and/or allusions to obscure passages from classic literature or cultural mythologies. Our music has zero commercial viability, but it is a labor of love and necessity. It is also an outlet for thoughts best not kept inside, but that should probably be whispered rather than shouted.

The sound should be that of engaging in a small, jarring, but well-intentioned conversation on the subject of the various things that can eat you alive from the bottom-most link of the top of the food chain. 

We should sound like two introverts on the verge of killing themselves but who made a handful of quiet, desperate songs instead (and if only for now). The listener should suspect there used to be a drummer and a guitarist but those two jumped from the building rather than burning alive inside it. 

Most music written for two basses and two voices, but found objects are rarely excluded.
