Electric fanfare written for the Ascalon Festival.  Used live and in post production for videos.

Ascalon Fanfare

Symphonic Tone Poem based on the confrontation and wizards' duel between St Peter and Simon Magus.  The crowd wishes to know who has the greater magic.  Simon whispers in a man's ear and he drops dead.  The crowd is impressed.  But Peter raises him back to life and the crowd determines Peter is the better magician.  Not to be outdone, Simon begins to fly above the crowd.  Peter calls out to God and Simon is struck down from the sky.

-- From the apocryphal literature of Peter. 

"O Simon Magus!  Oh scum that followed him!
Those things of God that rightly should be wed
to holiness, you rapacious creatures,
for the price of silver and gold, prostitute."

--Canto XIX, Dante's Inferno

Not Your Type

Stolen Chairs

I wrote this when I was a Junior in college.  I recently found the MIDI files on an old floppy disk, converted them, rerecorded, and remixed the work.  I love how the synths give it that 1980s "Ladyhawke" sound.  I thought it sounded a bit like Thundercats but my music teacher at the time said it was "Joseph Haydn meets Danny Elfman" - I guess I'll take that.
