From indie film score to Apple commercial, the solo piano arrangement can work on so many levels when supporting a narrative.  My goal with every piece is to evoke a nostalgic familiarity that translates through melody and simple rhythm.

Cinematic Piano

Acoustic, singer-songwriter, indie folk 
The perfect combination of acoustic guitars, strong vocal harmonies, haunting melodies and infectious rhythms sum up this playlist.  Written to support the powerful messages being shared on screen.

Indie Folk

This project places a modern twist on the in the 90's/2000's era of shoegaze, alt rock, dream pop, and indie rock genres.  Guitar heavy and melodic, the tracks deliver a haunting vocal and rich harmony accompaniment on a bed of jangly hooks and a rock solid rhythm section.

Alternative Indie Rock

Indie electronic arrangements featuring vintage drum machines and 80's synthesizers.  Strong melodies, pulsing beats and searing leads.

Indie Electronic

This project lands somewhere between a Quentin Tarantino classic, a 70's western and a David Lynch puzzler.  A modern composition and recording designed to sound like classic 50's and 60's surf bands who performed in matching tuxedos at the local rec center on a Friday night.  Teenage energy paired with the simplicity and delicate skills of a seasoned professionals.  Vibe for days.

Woody

The Coast

Simple surf rock groove with vibe for days.  Dynamic and stable, the track drives along with the occasional break and powerful bridge.

Shifty

Driving indie rock tune with harmonies supporting the lead vocal.  Non traditional song structure as the sections never repeat.  The track slowly builds to a tempo change and powerful pop ending lead by a strong vocal harmony.  Instrumental version available.

We Should Go Tonight

Classic indie rock pop song with strong dynamics, lush vocals and a powerful bridge featuring a guitar solo crafted in restraint and intention.  Haunting and distant harmonies provide the support throughout the tune.

Summer Falls

The odd timing of the intro sets the tone and direction of this track.  Dark and spacious, the vocals anchor the verse as tension builds and the progression evolves.  The dynamic ending provides a momentary release from the verse, but quickly climbs up to a chaotic peak where the noise and pressure pops like a bubble to revels the striped and twisted aftermath.  Instrumental version available.

You're Safe With Us

Simple, dark synth drone loop that hints at a very subtle melody buried in psychedelic swirl.  This track was created by sampling a single strum on a guitar with a Casio SK-1 synth running into an echoplex tape delay.

The Words Will Show

Dramatic indie rock tune in 3/4 time that starts with a distant snare drum march that gets closer and closer until finally, the vocals come in and take over.  The chorus resolves the verse tension with a multipart, call and response melody and harmony.  The melodic and intentional guitar solo takes focus as the song builds to a brief but much needed calm.  Instrumental version available.

Why I Wait

The simple, arpeggiating acoustic guitar and clean vocals carry this dreamy pop song until building frustration erupts with a crashing, lo-fi, basement drum recording and a thunderous sub bass arpeggio.  The haunted vocal cries of the bridge signal the resolving calm and closure in the subdued and numbing ending.  This track was recorded on a 4 track tape machine.

Solo

Beauregard, the Original

Vocal, melancholy, psychedelic indie rock song the develops from solo guitar into full band by the end.  Simple and droning, the hypnotic understated rhythms and melodies resolve nicely as the band kicks in for the final chorus.  Instrumental version available.

Morning

2000's Indie pop rock at it's finest.  Simple lyrics, powerful vocal, minimal yet dynamic arrangement, and a climatic bridge supported by an arpeggiated 8th note guitar solo that proves every note plays a crucial role in telling this story.  Restraint, minimalism and haunting vocals tell the narrative of finding your dreams in another.  Instrumental version available.

Hollywood

Simple, rhythmic, solo piano with a strong, but sparse lead melody.  Haunting, but hopelessly optimistic and nostalgic as the energetic bridge transitions into a modulated reprise.

Piano Warmth

Solo piano performance with an understated melody woven through the meandering verse and uplifting chorus.  Confident second half with a quick, building transition during the final chorus that resolves with a theme reprise.

Daydream

Simple melody supported by chords and the occasional whimsical deviation.  The track slowly builds to a meaningful chorus/bridge that resolves in a melodic tribute to the main theme.
