An up-tempo rockin' tune about that person we all have in our life.  An original song (2014) by David O'Hearn

NOTE: tiny tweaks to the drum track are the only difference from the original upload

World-Class Jerk (A Love Song)

A combination of electronic and old-school sounds combine to create a dark, brooding mood in the "A" theme; the "B" thematic premise is harder and more intense.
After completion, it seems partially inspired by the "Twin Peaks" series by David Lynch

Fire Walker

Spooky (original Halloween music)

Original Halloween music composed by myself in 1992 - 1 hour looping version

Spooky (1 hr Loop)

It's dangerous on those city streets at night ...

Evening In Gotham

I updated the original -- beefing up the drums -- everything else unchanged.  
Now it rocks even harder !!  

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Auld Lang Syne (Punk Version)

From the short film by Ryan M Andrews, The Devil Walks Among You (2011)

The Devil Walks Among You (Theme)

Here is some original action-style orchestral music I wrote for a film, but they went in another direction, as they say.  I'll probably end up using some of these ideas for another film and/or a trailer.  I wrote & recorded this in April 2012, was listening to it last evening ...enjoy!

Here It Is

My name is David O'Hearn and I am a composer, musician, actor and music producer. (In case you haven't guessed, I am the D in playD).

 I play guitar, keyboards, bass and do vocal work (both musical and voice-overs). With over 40years of experience in a variety of styles, I can also lend my experience to music production and arranging, as well as an instrumentalist.

I have been performing in local musical and dramatic theatre since 2005, having appeared in over 60 productions to date.

I also run a project studio in Mississauga, Ontario (west of Toronto).

The studio is used to provide music and/or music production for a variety of projects, including music for film, tv and radio.  My project studio is ideal for singer/songwriter projects as well.  I have produced demos for a few local artists and look forward to future collaborations.

As a composer, I have written over 70 pieces of music in a single calendar year (2009) alone.

Most recently, I wrote, performed and recorded the score for a short film called Severance (due out in July 2010).

I am also currently in production with another short film, which is an adaptation of a Stephen King short story, "Suffer The Little Children", with Moonlit Road Entertainment (where I am resident composer).
