The Good, The Bad, And The Vivint

Music inspired by Ennio Morricone. Really fun piece to do.

Cahoots Duo Challenge

The Cahoots Duo Challenge is a race series (Started by Devon Anderson) where you and a friend combine wits, strength, strategy and stamina to negotiate a barrage of nearly two dozen unique obstacles and challenges that require intense teamwork and total cooperation. Video shot by Good Line. Music by me. Spitting by me also.

Signature Sound

For a long time I was not comfortable with the idea of having a "signature sound". I thought that if you have a style that style will eventually go out of style, then no one will want your style, and you're out of a job. While I very much believe in the idea of constant reinvention. I'm not so shy to the reality of my accumulating tendencies, and preferences. Thus discovering what I believe is my signature sound. And I'm pretty sure this piece optimizes it. I see elements in this piece showing up everywhere in my music these days. In fact if you go to my new and improved website (thank you Ryan Probasco!) you will most likely see what I mean.

Rediscovered Music

I found this track while rummaging through my archives. It's a track I wrote for the Porter Rockwell documentary a year or so ago. I had completely forgot about it. I even forgot to put it on the soundtrack (I added it to the digital soundtrack today). Not a bad track.

Where I Disappeared To

I thought I'd share a bit of a movie I'm scoring. It is not mixed or sweetened in any way yet, so bear that in mind as you listen. There is a pay off at the end, so if you're not a big texture fan, remind yourself that you will eventually be glad you sat through the first two and a half minutes. Or just skip to the end.

I chose this piece to show because, honestly, it was convenient. I had shown this bit to the director over the interweb-net, and it is the only thing I have bounced from the recording session. But I like it.

There is no picture because the film has not dropped yet, and I want to be respectful to those who would rather people saw it without a time code, and other imperfections. This part is about a chair (who comes to life, and goes on a journey through the city). Here he is running away from scary things, then feeling depressed, then triumphant. To put it in a terrible nutshell.

Animal

Little Giant

I song I wrote for a Little Giant Ladder TV spot. The commercial was made by Issimo Productions.
