A Jackknife to a Swan

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "You Gotta Go!"

Magic, Alive!

Listen Gentle

Tried my hand at writing classic video game fight music. Heavily inspired, as might be obvious, by Nobuo Uematsu and also Jerry Goldsmith (and probably some Manaka Kataoka for good measure).

Who Will Win?

This ended up sounding like if mars volta wrote a theme song for a megaman and/or castlevania level.

Toxic Axolotl

This is a re-orchestration of an old song. I realized in doing the re-work that it reminds me of music from the game extreme g. Suffice it to say, I love drama.

Fenrir! Rise!

Everything is Love and Death

Lullaby (Alternate Version)

Name inspired by a recent trip to Rottnest Island while on tour with my band.

The 'chorus' of this song I actually wrote in high school (over 20 years go - wow I am getting old!). It popped into my head recently and I decided to try a different look than the original. Pretty happy with how it came together. Very clearly inspired by Setsuo Yamamoto, Yuki Iwai and their cohort. But, you know, combined with the other crap rattling around in my brain. 

Earthquake Quokka

I love Robin Williams, and though this wasn't initially designed to be a tribute, I am glad it kind of happened to morph into one. Bowser would obviously be Albert.

I accidentally wrote this while my band recorded our 5th record. Our Producer, John, had this amazing, grimy sounding Celeste in his, at the time, yet-to-be-completed B Studio. I was idly wandering / warming up for backup vocals and started noodling and happened upon the extremely Mario-adjacent ascending melody / harmony that features (I even put the original phone recording of that melody at the end of the track). Anyway, I decided to run with it. Recording all the pieces of the latin percussion section was very fun. Bonus points if you hear the (fairly blatant) Beach Boys reference.
