Sax, Drums, Bass, Gtr, Organ

IT WAS SOMETHING YOU SAID
IT WAS THE THINGS WE DID
THAT PUSHED THE TRAIN OFF THE RAILS
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN

NOW SEPARATE WE SAIL
I BET IT’S HARD TO TELL
WHICH ONE TO BLAME 
FOR WHAT HAPPENED HERE 
STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE

YOU COULD THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL         
BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE WE FALL           
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

IS YOUR BOAT STILL FLOATING
CAUSE MINE IS SINKING

I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T  LONG BEFORE I STALLED               
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE I STALLED            
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS  
THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

Something You Said

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02  2023

A song about making life choices.  Make a choice that you think will work out, and then it doesn't; need to change ones plans; and sometimes other choices work out without a hitch.

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02 2023

Traffic light; take a left here; signal right, 
I think I know which way to go.
Merge in fast, the zoomin' fast lane, 
hoping for a slow country road,
but nothings in sight.

Which way to go.
Which way.

Always a choice, was it right, 
only time will tell with some assessing.
Layer and repair when things don't work out,
cuz you can't start again.

<Keys break>

Sometimes everyday selections,
turn into corrections;
Domino effect; unexpected conundrums.
...but then life starts to hit the right sail.
Get it right, things start to flow.
 
Which way to go.
Which way.

Hello film soundtrack lovers! This is one of the most intense epic tracks I believe I have created so far. 

Picture a battle of good and evil in the sky this time. This is music for a very intense showdown. 

Please enjoy, "The Sky Battle!"

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.
