Drumming on an old song.
Hello there folk. I recently pulled up an older song of mine that I've always had issues with. I remixed it a bit and decided to add some real drums to it. Take a look/listen above. I always wonder if its worth the time to go back and make changes to old stuff, or do I just let the past be the past?

FILM SCORE: Trying To Find The Tone
Here are a few short pieces I made in the early stages of scoring a short film a few years back. It can be a bit of a process sometimes to get on the same page as the director. Music is subjective. My idea of what is "dark and eerie" or "upbeat" can differ greatly from someone else. So sending playl

FILM SCORE: Anxiety
This is a piece of music I wrote a few years back. It's one of my favorites! PLAY IT LOUD! This piece was created for a short film back in good ol 2024. I wanted something that felt explosive, distorted and big while still remaining cinematic. The film was about anxiety and pressure, and I wanted th

A quick glimpse at my journey into VFX.
Why Hello There, Since I was a little kid, I've always enjoyed VFX. I remember doing a report on the history of VFX for a class in Jr. High School. I'm sure the teacher had no idea what I was talking about, but I got a decent grade ... I assume out of pity. Working in the indie film world for such a

Recording Drums
Mr. Bryan Szymanski recently asked me to collaborate on a song with him. I pulled out my drums, squeezed them into my tiny studio space and started recording. Watch the process! I've always enjoyed the process of recording drums, but never really known how to do it. That hasn't changed. But through

FILM SCORE: Nostalgia Demo/Mood piece.
This is a piece of music I wrote in 2023. The score itself ended up being limited to only piano, but in this early demo it was fully orchestrated and pretty nifty. The "piano only" version was released as part of an EP of mine featuring 4 piano songs. This EP was interestingly titled ... "Piano"
