Abstract ambient instrumental with a gentle pulse — playfully shifting between major and minor moods.
Layered synthesizers (10 tracks across 6 synths), all performed in real time — no sequencing, just hands-on, old-school playing.

Inspired by this haiku:

an autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea.

— Saitō Sanki (1900–1962)

an autumn nightfall (Naviarhaiku 617)

I added my most used filters to a track by fr0ggy5. "Ode to the steller's jay"

Disquiet Junto 0722 asked us to create a spooky pairing of a spy and horror movie soundtrack. I had a lot of fun going back and listening to some classic spy movie music, taking notes on some of the tropes that I wanted to incorporate in my response. 

The brass was a huge stretch for me. I generally try to stay away from synthetic versions of a lot of acoustic instruments because of how impossible it is to accurately simulate their performance, so I don't have any experience with writing for horns. I found some helpful advice on various music composition threads, and I'm happy enough with the arrangement for a fun Halloween piece. 

But you know what's really scary about this piece? I spelled "exsanguination" correctly on the first try.
