A solemn cold soundscape walks the listener through a launch into outerspace.  Strap in and enjoy the ambiance.  Vocal sample collaboration with the FB/Instagram/TikTok famous Max and Jake Tilk.  I had fun with this one, and left in clicking and distortion for bounce and unease.

Better

Better (feat. Max Tilk & Jake Tilk)

Ties in my old love of 70s kung fu cinema to some funky deep UK garage bass with a few dashes of Tony Chachere's and some wobble bass.  I conjured up this fever dream during a hop to New Orleans.

Shaolin Gumbo

It was November 12 of 2016. I recall gazing up at the night skies silhouetting the mountains of Afghanistan.  Traumatic combat events and the loss of friends that morning steeled my soul.  Not yet plagued with PTSD, I looked up...and dared to hope.  I wondered if I would return home.  I knew some of my friends were not.  
I did return home.  I was not the same - none of us were.  Now, 7 years later, I reflect back and look up at skies above the path I have carved.  My reflections are bittersweet.  Have I lived a worthy life?  Do my shaky hands craft a compelling human audio experience?  I release this piece on November 12 of 2023, in reflection.

Halloween Mask

This is my mashup of ambient horror, a melodic dark experimental with house/techno elements if you will. Fighting genre norms since 1978! 🖕

Funeral March

Another raw imperfect shout at memories, here is real soul-bearing... perhaps to release old sentiments into the wind for healing.  This is a candid acknowledgment of my core memories growing up in a southern harbor town in the 80s under the thumb of Catholicism.  Album art depicts the Salish Sea from a 2022 pilgrimage to Anacortes.  It was during that trip that I had a recollection of a younger Brandon, and the stories he might need to tell.  I want to make art from my soul with truth, and I hope it resonates against lies, societal norms, and music expectations.
