No Me Vayas A Olvidar - Super Chino Remix

It's the track that plays when you feel like recycling.

Neat Pete Shuffle

An 80s-infused melodic journey in the same spirit as 'Flight of the Snowbird' by David Foster. As we move ourselves back to some sense of normalcy, we hope that everything is as we remembered.

C64 sounds layered into an intricate framework.

This is Because

6 styles in 1 minute.
It was a blast turning this into so many different genres of music.
I hope you enjoy it, despite not likely knowing the source.

Video Game Underground -  Genre Hop Remix

Recorded live with my RC-505mkII and Mainstage. Mixed and Mastered in Logic.

Are You Fine?

One of the longer pieces I've written in a while! Conceived almost as an ending credits, wrapping up all the little elements from a full "movie" soundtrack that in this case doesn't exist).

Danny Elfman influences abound in this one and my penchant for nearly sad melodies and swelling chords.

A reworking and expansion of a little piece I wrote a few years ago [Viola has feelings, too]. Very much expanded - a good 8 minutes or so!

Produced with EastWest Platinum Orchestra through Logic Pro. 

Written for Two Witches, No Waiting performed by Beaverton Civic Theater, November 2022.

Two Witches, No Waiting - Prelude

Based on a very interesting fucking number.
Scalar notes 1, 7, 2, 9 used in bass to frame the atmospheric piece.

Inspired by the play "Proof" by David Auburn.

1729.

A remix of Being Berry, Berry Safe with Blueberry the Clown.

Twisting things juuuuust a little.

Blueberry Terror

Jim's Coins in Hilldale Re-imagined.

Added lyrics:
There’s a man out in Madison 
doing numismatics like no one’s business

Precious metals, coins and gems
With all the Essence of a Renaissance man
Just hold out your hand to Jim.

Just below Metcalfe's foods
Record High Gold Prices
Cash in today.

Jim's Coins - Epic Otis Edition

Symphonic Thing

Written for the play "Slow Food" Wendy MacLeod
Directed by Amanda Clark
Produced by Spark Plug Theatre Collective

Slow Food

Opening song to the new pilot "Almost Boston" by Dawn Sellers.

Never Too Late

Prelude for the play "The Lifespan of a Fact"

What Happens There

1000 Cranes

Remix of the famous McC McDonald's training video from 1986 "Inside Custodial Duties".



Make It Shine Guy

I worked to match the feeling of this play that seems to be locked in step yet in a mixed meter of its own design; cycling and spawning tension and beauty. Meant to be looped at the beginning of the show.

Lungs
Written by Duncan Macmillan | Directed By Amy Millay

February 14 - 16 & 21 - 23, 2025 

All Performances At 7:30pm 

Venue: Ki Coffee (4655 SW Griffith Dr #160, Beaverton, OR 97005)

The world is getting hotter, there’s unrest overseas—the seas themselves aren’t very calm—and one couple is thinking about having a child. LUNGS is a smart and funny drama that follows a couple through the surprising lifecycle of their relationship, as they grapple with questions of family and change, hope, betrayal, happenstance, and the terrible pain that you can only cause the people you love.

Get The Keys, We're Here

Wedding March Remix for the play "For Better" by Eric Coble
Performed at the closing of the show.

What's that? Karen's getting married?! To a guy she's only met in person twice...?!?
The conversations and confusion spread around the world as Karen's family and friends discuss her impending nuptials, and mostly by phone. Will she, won't she? You'll have to come and see!
A romantic comedy for the digital age, 'For Better' is a hilarious new farce that pokes fun at our overdependence on the gadgets in our lives. And don't we all need a good laugh right about now...?!?

Adventure Awaits

The Northern Ethereal

On 4/16/16, I sat down at a grand piano in Los Alamos and improvised a piece.

Four (16) Sixteen

one of the themed nights for Camp Angelos was exactly this. So, this is what they got.

Fun With Dave, Fun With Jen

they asked me to write a sea shanty. I'm so sorry.

Don't Be A Moby Dicks (a Pirate's Song)

Southampton Park and Ride was born via improv on September 9th, improvised on a Paris in Stereo Twitch stream.
For three weeks, I re-created it in Logic Pro X, live, during my Wednesday Work sessions. 

Here is the original improv: youtu.be/s07OkvGipoA

Music and production: Jason Paris
Lyrics written on the spot by HappyKaiju.

Southampton Park And Ride

Written in one night on my Twitch stream. Lush melodies and driving beats.

Chinese Bellflower

Written during my Twitch stream -- very Depeche Mode influenced track. Lyrics written mostly in one take, edited later. Made in GarageBand.

I remain happy to be here
Happy to be anywhere
Anywhere you are
 Anywhere you
Go I
Will be right beside you
Will be right behind you
You never have to fear
I will be with you
If you move on, You know I will be here
I can’t go on, if I don’t have you here
I remain standing here in shadow
Never wish to waver
Never wish to part
Never part your company
Every part of my sanity
Though I could never frame
Everything you are

If You Move On (a la Mode)

Wrote this a few years ago. Tried to be subtle with the Doctor Who references, probably to varying degrees of success.

Be My Companion

Song I originally wrote in 2004, rerecorded in 2011.

Bring On Rainy Days

VCR Party Live asked the Melindas to whip up a backing track to this truly iconic Menard's spokesman's commercial. I obliged.

MC Menard's

I work as a composer for films, live streams, podcasts, video games and more.
