Composer


"DAMAGE" track 1 from album:

New Release!

Released July 7, 2022
"DAMAGE" is not your typical listening music, Grammy Winner, Isha Irskin, described it as "Epic Hybrid Orchestral Tension Music" for film, and "pretty cool music!".

Inspired by the wonderful sci-fi and action films we all love. This collection is explosive, hard hitting and packed with movment for that favorite tension filled cinematic event. The music pulls the listener into the gritty distant worlds where space and time warp, where derelict space craft drift and hold deep their mysteries, to desolate and jagged landscapes and giant robots. This is music to take you to the edge of imagination.  

"DAMAGE" is Epic Hybrid Orchestral Tension Music

Eleandör : Walking a Lost Elven Kingdom

"O'Child, come, come closer, and I will tell you of my journey through the lost Elven kingdom of Eleandör.

O'Child, this is a tale your ears may not believe, but indeed it is true. When I was young, and, ahh, I am most old now, I ran playing through the ancient forest far far behind our home. As the sun began to set, I became unsure of the path toward home. I wandered, daylight fading, I tried so hard to find the path again, climbing down old moss covered rocks, I fell, though a most foreboding hole, and tumbled, and tumbled, till at last I came to rest...

In the dark, my head aching, my knees bruised, I sat. It seemed forever till my sight returned, but yes at last it did, and I, oh my what my straining sight perceived was magical and fantastic.

Yes, yes, get comfortable, and listen close, and I will tell you of my journey through the lost Elven kingdom of Eleandör."

Ever hear of the Hand Pan? 

I never did till recently. I was on YouTube when I came across a duo playing these saucer shaped objects and making the most wonderful sounds. The two musicians are called "Yatao". They are amazing. Three days later I purchased a sample library version of the Hand Pan for use by composers working digitally, that night on the 12th of Jan 2020 I started and completed the title song of this album "Firefly". The music here was created, completed, copyrighted, mastered and published all in just over one month.

"Firefly" is ambient hand pan chill hop happy music with a really fun beat.

WHAT LISTENERS SAY...

Real words from real people.

"Wow! The music is nothing short of brilliant. Truly remarkable.
It's sensitive, delightful and I have to say you are a genius, my friend. Really, please believe it. You deserve absolutely everything that goes with possessing qualities of genius." 

In your music, I hear all the music I have ever loved and that has become my inner soundscape: Elgar, Vaughn Williams, Mozart ---even Chopin. But your work is not "lifted" from them -- rather, inspired by them, possessing their dissonant genius, their poetic immanence and spiritual authenticity. Oh, and did I mention your melodic gifts? And your mastery of minor keys? Thank you, Sky. Thank you!

I love "Maria Lacrimosa", When the female soprano voices came in, the hair stood up on my arms!
