Step into the glow of Resonance Alley, where shadows meet neon and every note lingers in the night air. Built on a smooth, chill synthwave groove, the track blends gentle rhythms and melodic arpeggios with a driving bassline that pulses like city lights after dark.

The mood shifts in the breakdowns — an ominous two-note descent cuts through the haze, pulling you deeper into the alley’s mystery, before electric guitar textures ignite the atmosphere. Both dreamy and gritty, Resonance Alley is a late-night journey through hidden streets, where echoes of the past and future collide.

Dawn
An Original ‘N’otion Picture Soundtrack by Keith Richie
Inspired by the novel Dawn by Octavia E. Butler

Dawn is a sweeping cinematic score based on the first book of the Lilith’s Brood trilogy by the legendary Octavia E. Butler. This album serves as my musical interpretation of her profound and haunting tale—one of loss, survival, and evolution.

The story follows Lilith Iyapo, who once lived peacefully with her family in the Andes Mountains—until a devastating nuclear war obliterated humanity. Centuries later, Lilith awakens aboard a mysterious alien vessel, under the watch of the Oankali—an advanced species driven by an instinct to heal and evolve through genetic merging. As the last remnants of humanity are studied and prepared for a second chance at life, not all agree with the terms of this new beginning.

With themes of love, sadness, hope, and conflict, the music in Dawn is meant to transport the listener—whether or not they’re familiar with the book. You’ll feel the quiet sorrow of a ruined Earth… the awe and unease of first contact… the strange, electric connection between Lilith and the Oankali being Nikanj… and the tension of a species on the brink of transformation.

This album is a journey through emotional and otherworldly landscapes, where humanity’s survival depends not on strength, but on change.

Dawn is a tribute to one of science fiction’s most powerful stories, and I’m honored to present it in musical form.
