I've been working on this track for a long-ass time and am finally happy with how it sounds. Spent countless hours trying to get the rhythm guitars to sound as full and warm as possible. Not to mention dat noiz, doe...

Only Shallow (Instrumental) [My Bloody Valentine cover]

From my hypothetical Blood Meridian soundtrack. I wrote this two years ago and recorded it multiple times but was never satisfied with it until this version.

Todos Muertos

Another track from my Blood Meridian collection. 

Savage Hospitality

A re-recorded version of one of my tracks from the Blood Meridian series. The original version was posted up here on December 1, 2012, and I've been playing around with that recording ever since. I've finally gotten to a point where I'm really satisfied with how it sounds.

Judge Holden (Remastered)

My instrumental cover of the Pixies' "Gigantic," one of my all-time favorite songs. I noticed I haven't posted anything in six months so I figured this would be a good one to put up!

Gigantic

Inspired by the opening scene of Margaret Atwood's classic dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale.

The Handmaid's Tale

In(di)visible

Inspired by the main character of my all-time favorite novel, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, I recorded this song using only a keyboard and a guitar.

The Kid

One of the final tracks of my hypothetical Blood Meridian soundtrack. Definitely the loudest and most guitar-heavy track on the album. Incredibly happy with how it turned out.

Leaving Tucson

A cover of a Philip Glass composition from the soundtrack to "Koyaanisqatsi" arranged for piano and cello.

INSTRUMENTS USED: Keyboard


Prophecies (Philip Glass cover; arranged for Piano and Cello)

A dark ambient track inspired by the Stephen King novel PET SEMATARY.

Pet Sematary

Paxcow

"Suddenly the mist lost its light and Louis realized that a face was hanging in the air ahead of him, leering and gibbering. Its eyes, tilted up like the eyes in a classical Chinese painting, were a rich yellowish-gray, sunken, gleaming. The mouth was drawn down in a rictus; the lower lip was turned out, revealing teeth stained blackish-brown and worn down almost to nubs. But what struck Louis were the ears, which were not ears at all but curving horns...they were no like devil's horns; they were ram's horns." —Stephen King, PET SEMATARY

The Wendigo

Another track from my Blood Meridian soundtrack. Heavily inspired by the soundtracks of old spaghetti westerns.

The Evening Redness In The West

Just for fun, I covered the Giga Pudding commercial song for guitar and synth. I have absolutely no idea why.

Giga Pudding (Puddi Puddi) [Cover]

The Barrier

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

First Inning

A classical piece inspired by Anthony Doerr's novel All The Light We Cannot See.

All The Light We Cannot See

Une Fille Ein Junge

Suite Lumière: II. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

COVID-19 has sapped a lot of my creative juices, but I did manage to create this piece recently.

Fragile Things

My favorite piece of music that I wrote while I read Anthony Doerr's ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE.

Hold The Banner High!

A dark ambient track made up of synthesized and found sounds inspired by Stephen King's THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON.
