Yesterday, I had you all brainstorm titles for songs, so I could write a song based on your ideas.
In the end, I combined two of your ideas.
Jessica Bradshaw suggested “The Way Back”, which, in 2021, feels an important and hopeful topic.
Meanwhile,...

Crash was just an amazing album, full of power an emtion, and it contains some of the soungs I've written that I'm most proud of, like Captain Ulysees, The Rum Talking, S...
Hey guys, I wanted to fill you in on what I've been up to this last month or so.
Basically, I was commissioned to write a musical. It's a lightly steampunk musical, set in the late 1800's, a bit historical in nature, but mostly a story about fictional characters. Technically, I was co...
2021-04-24 15:23:40 +0000 UTC View PostOn a scale of 1 to 10, how excited would you be if I wrote a steampunk musical, in Abney Parks style?
You would buy it as an album, or you could see it performed live in person, or both.

Dry January has left me with a LOT of extra time. So as an experiment, out of complete boredom, I went into the studio the other night to see what would happen if I put traditional pirate see shanties to big electronic industrial dance beats.
The result was amazing! Driving dance...

It's a party murder mystery game, so I assume it'll either be played by people living in a house together, or over zoom call.
Here is the setup to the story:

I originally wrote this song as a heavy goth-rock track on our early 2000's album, "From Dreams Or Angels", and though that version is pretty great, I never felt the format of that song really made the lyrics stand out in the way they should. The arrangement and the lyrics seemed like separate en...
