Big Sleep

The main theme to the Cyberdrunk 2069 one-shot stream for 20 Sided Stories. I don't really consider this track finished but c’est la vie.

CYBERDRUNK 2069 Theme

A heavily effected ambient/drone/industrial/experimental something-or-other made with chip sounds.

8 Bit Drone I

Heavily affected electronic mess made entirely from 8 bit/fake-bit sounds with post-rock and drone influence.

8 Bit Drone II

Woke up one morning and made this sludgy, surf-rock thing that a friend described as "QOTSA put through a bit crusher". I'll probably come back to it one day.

Waveriders Of The Obsidian Lagoon

An experimental sound-art track mostly recorded live. Part of an ambient album I seem to be involuntarily building over time. Best listened to with headphones on and eyes closed.

The Dive

The result of a late night at the end of a long week.

Break

Wanted to try pursuing a more hardcore sound and actually finish and release it, free of any other parent project. Admittedly this was rushed and done on very little energy. I will probably come back to it some day and re-record everything. Include it on an album or something.

LYRICS
Nightly trunks rise from the cobwebs of an exhausted mind
Tell the sorrow's kiss of the pool's shimmering fortune hive
This traced lie we seek in the paths of the weak
Freak-accident poles magnet our will towards the unforgiving meek
The cynical tellings from a toll-free technology slam dunk nation
Absurdly seeking purpose in the incarnation of their imagination
Self centered fortress penetrated by attentive soaked souls
Holes in the hoards of their empty drive leaning left and right in a pendulum of undeclared roles

I'm driving this car down a one way road
Traffic please merge into the front of the hold
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
Collision steady
Let's make these last moments last heavily, please

Father please forgive us for we have simulated ourselves
A movie version for our own pleasurably experienced hell
Growing pains from our lacking appetite lagging far behind
Stuck in the past well, where our wishes drowned by show without tell
Our strength is matched by those that created all that struggle but be
Being creatures of seeing blind and seething teeth
Sinking into the skin of our membrane lives, bleeding in
Inwards within towards the ether of our mistaken hearts that bind
(We are those who die by dawn)

Pray to the invisible sleep
The world between my minds and the powers that be
I am nothing in this lost void
Colors consume me, take these veins and scatter them ablaze
Haze, fog the sky in my far behind lies
I am separated in the olive branches at bay
Burn me down before I make headway
She says, I am the nothing of this very night and day

The dissolving earth shall move
Us from the sun
Find the burried proof
That we've all but won

Dissolving Earth (Demo)

Romantic Comedy variation of the Choice of Action Theme. Used in and written for the "The Genre Gender Bender" RomCom Trailer.

Choice of Action

Pressure

Some spooky, retro synthwave I made for an improv show. The genre is pretty saturated right now but GOD is it fun.

Unlucky 13

Demo track for THRESHOLD. Part of a series of songs inspired by an apocalyptic vision of the future where society destroys itself and reverts to the wild west.

LYRICS
Its been swell
And I miss you so
But I cannot dwell
Its time to go
My chance for change
A new beginning
Test my range
While I'm still living

It feels so wrong
It feels so right
I wrote this song
In the dark of night
Where my troubles grow
The endless mile
I miss you so
See you in a while

I'm gone.

Macabre Demos

Threshold (Demo)

Panic

This track was created in a single day as part of my annual 8 Bit Obituaries project, where I create an chiptune track once a day for eight consecutive days. Each track is titled after a fictional character, and tells the story of their life and death. 

The Incisor is the opening to the 7th year, and was inspired by predatory behavior on the internet and the rise of the Alt Right and "fake news".

The Incisor

The original Intro/Outro music for Station Blue, a horror isolationist Audio Drama by Chad Ellis.

Frigid Wind

An original cover/arrangement of Junichi Masuda's music for Pokemon Red/Green/Blue/Yellow.

This score was written for the main character's trek through a beautiful cave.

Mt. Moon (Walk)

This track was created in a single day as part of my annual 8 Bit Obituaries project, where I create an chiptune track once a day for eight consecutive days. Each track is titled after a fictional character, and tells the story of their life and death.

This is the end of Year #6, where a desperate father travels across the galaxy to find his missing children, only to lose the lives of his entire crew along the way. He drifts through space alone as his ship slowly runs out of oxygen.

Epilogue/Epitaph (Instrumental)

Original Score to the short film CEASELESS. Made in about a week for a tight-deadline contest, the experimental suspense short explored severe Insomnia and what its like to live in the realm between being awake and being asleep.

There are some sound design elements included with this extended version of the score.

Ceaseless

This plays when you decide to "Get Burgers". Depending on your choices prior to that point, this is the happy nothing-goes-wrong ending. The three main characters proceed to explore downtown, laugh, and start what becomes a party day.

Gettin' Burgers

Musical Score from the Action Dramatica segment of "Team Tofu's Last Idea" from Haphazard Productions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c69cWLVtj4

Steampunk challenge for @MusicWeeklies

Trees of Coal
Leaves of Steam
A Forest, A Factory
Moss of an Empire's reach

Billowing
Clouds up high
Future's bright
Tear down the sky

O Industry O Industry
Breathe me fortune, Burst my lungs
Sleep on gold with pillow of nine
Eat the earth, become divine

Industry O Industry

#SpaceTravel submission for @MusicWeeklies

Oh to leave it all behind
A timeline not of mine
Drifting memories
The centuries of solar wind

Broken Globe
We've split apart
Its not you its me
Together we're debris

Wide open infinite
Hug me with your cosmic arms
Build from the nothing-dust
Embark, I want to go

Wanna go?

Pale Blue Departure

An island arrangement of the Hello From the Magic Tavern theme song, originally composed by Andy Poland.

A blasphemous #Renaissance tune for @MusicWeeklies

Much less 'inspired by Renaissance music' and much more 'music inspired by Renaissance paintings'.

De Mors

An annual audio introspective to my 1 Second Everyday compilation for 2020.

Lyrics:
Over and Older.
Tumbleweeds.
Longest Nightmare.
Decayed seeds.

Written on the bark
Of the Rotten Redwood Tree
Our hopes and dreams
Homegrown on The Land of the Free.

I made it
And I'm still standing
You can't take me down
Without an ending
Of both my love story
And imprisonment.
