Name: Theme from The ECO Show by Richard Feren
Duration: 4 min 58 s
Description: The original theme I composed for the initial productions of Daniel Brooks' play THE ECO SHOW (produced by Necessary Angel). This theme never made it into the final production, but I still have a soft spot for it.

New track from our upcoming album "Behold". The lyrics are by Edgar Allan Poe; his poem "Alone" (1829).

From childhood’s hour I have not been 
As others were—I have not seen 
As others saw—I could not bring 
My passions from a common spring— 
From the same source I have not taken 
My sorrow—I could not awaken 
My heart to joy at the same tone— 
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone— 
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn 
Of a most stormy life—was drawn 
From ev’ry depth of good and ill 
The mystery which binds me still— 
From the torrent, or the fountain— 
From the red cliff of the mountain— 
From the sun that ’round me roll’d 
In its autumn tint of gold— 
From the lightning in the sky 
As it pass’d me flying by— 
From the thunder, and the storm— 
And the cloud that took the form 
(When the rest of Heaven was blue) 
Of a demon in my view—

These Dark Hours

I can find anywhere you go.
Anyone who is hiding you.
Why do you run away? 
Why are you scared? 
If only the rain could wash away your sorrows
And get under your skin and bones.

You should let moon in the blooming house
With silverlight trust may grow inside
Covering the wood in veil,
You would sleep tight
No terrifying dreams,
No awful, ghastly thoughts. 
Just a peaceful breeze swaying your hair.

Humming a lullaby, 
Holding back your cry
I kept you asleep, 
I was the guardian of your peace.

RAINSPILL

Title track from "The Sickness" EP, originally composed in 2014, long before the covid pandemic.

The Sickness EP

The Sickness

One of the earliest-ever Crimescene tracks (circa 1995). Although it makes extensive use of digital sampling, there was no sequencing involved, and it was recorded and mixed down on tape. Digitally remastered now by Richard Feren, it remains a seminal Crimescene piece, despite its crude production.

A Rare Case Of Female Haemophilia

The original theme I composed for the initial productions of Daniel Brooks' play THE ECO SHOW (produced by Necessary Angel). This theme never made it into the final production, but I still have a soft spot for it.
