The Live Creature and Ethereal Things is a journey of the imagination for all ages. This score was created as a part of a dance performance inspired by the mission of the Red Fred Project, founded by Dallas Graham, which gives voice to young creatives living in extraordinary circumstances.

This magical adventure transports you past the threshold of the ordinary into a world of fantastical possibilities and asks, “if you could tell a story and share it with the entire world, what story would you tell?”

The Live Creature and Ethereal Things (Remastered) encapsulates my original vision for this score. Because this was a limited production, and because the development of the score was constantly moving, changing, and evolving over the course of its creation, live players weren't a feasible option at the time. With this new version, I've gone back and tweaked orchestrations and melodies, and then recreated the entire score from the ground up with all new sounds, and the addition of live players.

This project is near and dear to me in that it allowed me to explore new and interesting styles of music that I wouldn't normally venture into. I hope that you enjoy this score as you embark on a magical (and silly at times) adventure into the worlds created in part by The Red Fred Project.
