Rise Again

"That he which hath no stomach to this fight, 
   Let him depart; his passport shall be made, 
   And crowns for convoy put into his purse; 
   We would not die in that man's company 
   That fears his fellowship to die with us."
                                - William Shakespeare

To Certain Death

2015 "Classical Song of the Year" nominee (IMEA Awards)

"End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it...White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise." - J.R.R. Tolkien

When We Meet Again

This is a MAJOR re-release of one of my earlier trailer pieces. I didn't have great quality libraries when I recorded the track, so I decided to go back and completely remake it. . .I was always fond of the music, just not the sound.

Immortal

"A musical reflection of the past month. Some things cannot be expressed by words."

This is a re-release of an earlier piece. I received some great advice from other composers and finally got around to making some changes. Enjoy :)

The End of August

“As an astronaut, especially during launch, half of the risk of a six-month flight is in the first nine minutes.” -Chris Hadfield

“Launch” began as a simple c- minor theme accompanied by an ostinato pattern. Unable to breathe further life into the piece, it sat dormant in my sketchbook for months. When scrolling through my twitter feed on November 17th, I found an image of three astronauts of Expedition 50/51 (Thomas Pesquet, Peggy Whitson, Oleg Novitskiy), tweeted by Canadian astronaut and icon, Chris Hadfrield. He embedded a link which took me to NASA’s feed of the launch and video highlights. I found myself watching religiously that day, too fascinated and anxious to look away. I imagined the emotional and physical journey that a person aboard such a strong, yet fragile vessel would experience in the short period between being firmly grounded on earth and floating weightlessly in space; immense fear, cloaked in tremendous excitement, awe and wonder.

It was herein that I found new inspiration to revisit this seemingly old idea.
