Composer. Brass, piano, dark ambient, cinematic narrative.
I write music for the part of the night you don't talk about.
Brass, piano, and electronic texture. It starts in shadow and it doesn't stay there. If you need sound that helps you confront something, sit in it, and come back out, you're in the right place.
A full-length film
Murnau's 1922 film, with a new score built from my own catalogue and title cards of my own.
Twenty-four complete works, written between 1999 and 2026, laid under the picture end to end. Every one plays first note to last. Nothing is looped and nothing fades in the middle. The picture was trimmed to fit the music, not the other way round.
78 minutes, widescreen, black and white. This is not a restoration. The copy descends from the 1947 Museum of Modern Art print and is in the public domain in the United States. The music and every title card are mine. The sound under the music is an atmosphere layer I synthesised.
The companion book lists all twenty-four cues with timings, a still from the film beside each one, the performers, and the two histories that turn out to be one story. It's free when you join the newsletter.
Played live, conducted by the composer
An E-flat horn duet with British brass band, at the Clark County Library Theatre in Las Vegas. Christin Schlicker and Tony Hussey, horns. I wrote it and I conducted it. Four minutes.
Twelve movements. One sleeper. One night that won't end.
The compositions haven't changed. The audio has. I reshaped it with record-player warmth and tape texture, so it sounds like something you found rather than something that was sold to you.
All twelve movements. Stream them or download the whole thing.
Some music decorates a room. This isn't that.
I write for the hour when the house is quiet and your head isn't.
Brass that arrives like weather. Piano that won't resolve when you want it to. Dark ambient texture underneath, holding the room still. Every piece is built on a shape: descent, pursuit, confrontation, and the door on the other side.
I don't write music that tells you everything is fine. I write music that goes down with you and comes back up.
If you've ever put on a record because you needed to feel something all the way through instead of around, you already know what this is.
The written music, for anyone who wants to play it themselves.
These are the original editions. The same versions used in performances and on the recordings, not simplified arrangements made after the fact.
Solo instrumental works for flute, violin, bassoon, and oboe. Piano collections. Chamber and ensemble pieces, including string orchestra and the early dramatic writing from Beast of Gevaudan.
Each score is from a different stage of my writing. The early work is louder and less careful. The later work knows when to stop. Both are here on purpose.
For performances, recordings, or broadcast use, write to me and I'll sort out licensing.
