A reimagined collection shaped with a "historic" tape-music character.
Pavor Nocturnus revisits earlier works and presents them in their final form. The compositions are unchanged — but the audio has been reshaped with subtle record-player warmth and tape texture, as if the album were discovered rather than produced.
The same endless night now unfolds as an animated film series on YouTube — one new chapter every Friday. This album is the music behind the films: all twelve movements, streaming and download.
The Music of Kevin Ure Blends:
brass, piano, and violin
dark ambient textures
cinematic pacing
atmospheric tension
narrative arcs built on descent, pursuit, confrontation, and release
Kevin writes music for people who want something emotionally grounded — something that sits with them, not above them.
The written music behind the recordings — original performance editions.
For performers, educators, and composers who want access to the written music behind the recordings, I offer a curated selection of scores from across my catalog. These are the original editions — the same versions used in performances and archival recordings.
Available Scores
Solo Instrumental Works
flute
violin
bassoon
oboe
Piano Works
solo piano collections
selections from Soliloquy

Each score reflects a different stage of my writing — from early dramatic instincts to intimate acoustic work to the atmospheric language that eventually led to Pavor Nocturnus.
