Sappy and sentimental, but I like it.
Probably the most cinematic thing I have composed to date. I was inspired by Howard Shore.
I don't really have much to say about this one... just listen.
I decided that since I want to be a film composer, I should start writing more heroic movie themes
I may make this longer later...
Maybe I make too many creepy waltzes. But they're so fun!
Imagine a bunch of sideshow freaks performing a waltz for a crowd of sadistic, leering onlookers and you will understand exactly what I was going for when I wrote this. I've always wondered what this would be like with video footage or a photo or art series so if you have any ideas for collabs let me know! :)
For CamCam's lovely sunset footage :)
for remixing purposes.
for remixing purposes! :D
I've been feeling Halloweeny lately... do listen to the original if you haven't heard it yet :)
Once upon a time I did music for a short film called "Funny Business" and realized that I never gave anyone the exclusive rights to it and could upload it on here. Oh happy day!
Wrote music for a short film awhile ago, realized I could legally upload it on here, huzzah.
the music track i wrote for day glo's "nightsfall."
My score for the Turnip Head film minus Gary's reading. (The version with the narration is resourced.)
Even though this didn't get picked as the final turnip score, I'm still proud of it & I hope you guys will be able to find some other use for it!
<3
Now with real instruments :D
I also played around with some panning, so this is best listened to on headphones or good speakers!
I've chosen to upload this without Day Glo's reading because I'm not the best audio editor and couldn't seem to get the white noise out of his recording without distorting it. I'm hoping someone who is better at it than me can do that!
Thanks to everyone who contributed! <3
I'm really really cool and this is how I spent my Friday night.
The 5 seconds of silence at the beginning are to better align with Day Glo's reading.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed!! <3

I used some VSTs to make the strings fuller, and the glock is also a VST but shhhh it's a secret
An expanded version of Waltz of the Freaks: Act II for Edward Shallow's sweet-tooth collab.
Did a few magic tricks to make the mix sound fuller ;) also I forgot to put reverb on the horns in v3 because I suck, so I fixed that.
Whaddya guys think of this one? I know Joe said he wanted more instruments but I was able to make it sound bigger without them sooo maybe that's not necessary? IDK. You tell me!
I'm waiting on my horn & clarinet players to make hitRECord accounts so I can properly resource them >.<

This is the score I wrote for a short animated film called "Cupid." Figured you guys could use parts of it or the whole thing for videos or something :D
Ok, you get one more EP piece... but this is it! No more!
Envision yourself alone at a beach at night. There is no artificial light, but the moon is bright (I'm not even being rhymey on purpose!). As you walk into the water, you look down and notice millions, no billions, no TRILLIONS of bits of sea glass in the water. The moonlight illuminates them as they wash back and forth with the tide. They swirl around your feet as you watch in amazement. They are tiny, colorful little bits of beauty, and you are filled with happiness and wonder.
Obligatory listen with headphones command. (But seriously, there are some sounds in this one that laptop speakers can't pick up for some reason. HEADPHONES. I COMMAND IT.)
This song was born from the challenge collab when lidan challenged me to write a song about sea glass!
So this was inspired by sojushots' awesome image. It was originally supposed to be an ambient/electronic piece but then I started playing around with my new samples and it somehow turned into a horn trio. Whatever works, I guess...
Redid WOTF2 to better fit with Edward Shallow's Dr. Sweet-Tooth story.
Also this is the first time really using my East West samples AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM IN LOVE.
I left some minor imperfections because I thought they fit with the mood of the piece but let me know if you think it'd sound better without them!
A friend asked me to make a waltz for a short film he did. I'm not very good at titles.
