For thousands of years, people of different cultures have sought advice from sages and scholars and drawn strength from their teachings. Thus, the wisdom of Buddha has long become guidelines not only for Buddhists, but also for people of other cultures. I will implement some sayings of the Buddha, Siddharta Gautama, in musical form.

poem / copyright jo richter:

der schaukellack blättert
in rostbraunen schuppen
hier spielt kein kind
es sind nadeln im sand

so hochgrau die wand
als taumle tag blind
zwischen staubaugenpuppen
kein vorhangstoff flattert

hier, wo sich sinne nicht nähren
hier sei die anmut zu finden
hatte der seher verkündet

hier, wo güte still schwindet
hier, wo die augen erblinden
kehre sie ein um zu gebären

interlinear translation: fair faced // the veneer on the swings flakes off / in rusty brown scales / there is no child playing / there are needles in the sand // the wall rises high and grey / as though day stumbled blindly / among dusty-eyed puppets / no fabric moves in the windows // here, where senses don't feed / here you will find grace / the seer had prophesized // here, where kind hearts are fading / here, where eyes are blinded / here she'd come to give birth //

DEBTOR'S PAIN (H.Gee Remix)

half way fainting broke
stuck no way to change my role
leave to rot remaining rows
the weather beating raining blows

debtor’s prison still awaits
hunger pains will not abate
my last hope about to fail
suffer me my stomach aches and
pray to God my soul to take

have and owe negates them both
no milk remains in fainting goats
hold on tight restrain my soul
punished on the debtor’s pole

crop wrecking heavy rain
the lender’s plan stipulates
taken daughter left to rape
waiting on guerilla raids
and lord please stop this rain

worser still I’m nearly broke
about to swing from pauper’s rope
no quota for the yearly growth
small fortune that I clearly owe

tested that I’m pretty tough
all I own is brought to city dump
last pennies and I’m silly drunk
lift my face and I’m squinting up
God take me to a better place

debtors pain 
debtors pain
pain in my budget and
forced out of my lane

Hello, film music fans! This is a cue that I composed that I envisioned being evocative of the pressure felt in the newsroom while the hustle and bustle is taking place while writing back to back articles. 

I hope you all enjoy, "Hustle in the Newsroom"!

Find something that you love to do, find someone to pay you to do it, and you will never have to work a day in your life. I am doing just that by entering the field of film scoring.

My love for music began in my childhood and I began playing piano at age four. Labeled a child prodigy by the local media, I was performing concerts at age six.

I produced and recorded two CDs by age 14, the proceeds of which were donated to specific charities. As a result, I was nominated for a local volunteer of the year award in 2009. At 16, I became interested in film scoring. That interest has grown into a love for this musical genre.

I scored 23 films for Red Eye Film Productions. Those films have received awards and recognition from several outlets. I was part of award-winning composer Christopher Young’s residency program, The Tilden House, in Culver City, California. In 2018, 

I was selected as the Statewide Young Soloist of the Year, awarded by arts4all Florida (a private not-for-profit organization).In early 2019, I created the original score for a 7-part mini-series titled Deathless, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. 

Later in 2019, I scored the film, Front Burner; winner of the 48-Hour Film Competition in Savannah, GA. Front Burner, can be found on my filmography page and premiered at the Filmapoloosa 2019 Film Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

In 2020, my film, I Will Not Say His Name, was accepted at the Tally Shorts Film Festival (Tallahassee, FL) the Gasparilla International Film Festival (Tampa Bay, FL), and the Philadelphia Film Festival.

In late 2020, I scored the feature film, A Day in the Life, which is currently available on Amazon Prime.

I also scored an immersive theater play, The Savannah Underground, which is a theatrical sequence of 3 stories about Savannah Georgia’s dark history. 

In early 2022, I was given the opportunity to score director Adam Marino’s drama/thriller film, “The Ride”. Produced by Jessica Roszko, the independent film starred Savanah Joeckel, Paul Sorvino, Dee Dee Sorvino, Dean Cain, Mark Justice, and DB Sweeney. It went on to premiere at the Spotlight International Film Festival, showing at Cinemark theaters in Jacksonville Florida. More about this film is to come.

In late 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to meet animator and director, James Scott. James is currently working on Akashic Spheres, a miniseries for which I will be scoring the original music. Stay tuned for more episodes and music later in the year.
