Album Notes

Come explore an explosion of ideas that will take you through a vivid tapestry of melodies, rhythms, colors, and soundscapes. From epic to quirky to mysterious to relaxing, this collection of pieces runs an astonishing spectrum of moods and styles, but which all adhere to a craft and belief that film music is important, relevant, and must still be good. You will hear the joys and liberties of flight, the desperation of dystopian rebels, the mysteries of the mind, and many other sonic portraits.

"Hello. What you see here is the culmination of three years of labor, stress, and love – a motley and unusual collection of film scores that I hold dear and am proud to share with you. These pieces are the product of collaborations, inspirations, epiphanies, accidents, disagreements, sleepless nights, and everything else wonderful and cruel about creating art.

I’ve never felt comfortable with the notion of these pieces sitting in the black hole of my hard drive, which is why I’m giving them a shot at the world. Thank you and enjoy."
