October Surprise

Atonal, ambient, science-fiction-inspired.

Waiting for the Light Excerpt

Imagine you are alone. At night. In an alley surrounded by a mob. Waiting to get into a nightclub. Without an appropriate aftershave. You are delirious with your imagination running wild. You start to have a migraine. This is the soundtrack for that commercial.

Sound Disposal Excerpt [Drum and Bass-Horror-Soundtrack]

A Halloween horror soundscape tribute to the video game "Dead Space". This one was created mostly with loops from the 99Sounds library "Weird Side Samples", along with some loops created by myself. You can download all six minutes.

Waiting on Platform 666 [Ambient-SFX-Horror-Soundtrack]

This is an excerpt from one of my entries in Spectrasonics' OMG-1 Contest. It's my impression or recollection of Modest Mussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain". I did not listen to Mussorgsky's composition before I created this.

A Night on Moog Mountain Excerpt [Avantgarde-Ambient-Horror-OMG-1 Contest]

The Vampires Waltz Excerpt [Chillout-Dance-Horror-Waltz]

I had a lot of fun with this. The beats are all from various REX loops I own. The guitarish and vox-like sounds are from a single extemporaneous MIDI track run through a couple of soft synth sounds and then "enhanced", if that's the right word, or maybe mangled, with Native Instruments' Guitar Rig software FX.

Tabla Mint Jam Excerpt [World Music-Dance-Guitar-Tabla]

Mostly made with music loops, this one reflects that well-known aphorism, When the going gets tough, the tough go dancing.
