Lady Legacy: Tail of the Tide Original Soundtrack
Album
2024
The original soundtrack for the 2024 production of Lady Legacy: Tail of the Tide at the Hollingsworth Hall Cultural Center in Lubbock, TX. Lady Legacy was devised by a cast and crew of talented artists and friends who worked previously on the first project in the "re:Invent" mythos: What If?
- Based on the setting of the on-going Dungeons & Dragons campaign of director Abby Wolff's husband Ben, this adventure follows the pirate crew of the titular Lady Legacy as they take on an unusual mission: to deliver a mermaid to the heart of the island, upon which they've found themselves shipwrecked, for an undisclosed purpose. They are pursued all the while by a band of mercenaries: sirens, whose motivations are just as unclear. -

"You arrive at the place, although you're not so sure at first. Your guy made it sound like a hotspot, but the emptiness of this dark alley only highlights the coldness of the night that had fallen hours ago. You walk in, apprehensive. A crone, face made sinister by the harsh red light that illuminates the room, sits behind a counter. I buried the hatchet, but it disappeared, you say. The crone eyes you, responding subtly to the passphrase. Come, she says, there is more to be buried."

A collection of musical ideas that I had sitting in my hard drive.
Succulent Songs
EP
2023
A collection of five songs I created in the first half of 2023. While there is no unifying theme, these songs represent a period of experimentation. In Succulent Songs, you'll hear synthesized vocals, mixed and matched sound fonts, and usage of various audio effects.

"They call 'im the 'Horseback Haymaker', but it ain't because he rides. It's because 'e can knock a man right off 'is saddle at full gallop, so they say..."
Started with the galloping drum line first, then wrote around it from there. Shorter than my usual stuff but I think it's just right to capture a brief, yet unusual encounter in the Wild West.

This is the OST for the first chapter of a visual novel project I was commissioned for. The game was supposed to release some time ago, and I've had the music finished for longer. I'm proud of the work, so I decided to put it out for others to enjoy. I'm doubtful the project will ever release, but if it does I'll update this accordingly.

"On a coast far from the peering eyes of society, a mad alchemist attempts a forbidden procedure; extracting the id from the soul, and destroying it. Where all others had failed, they would succeed. They had to; pride had already taken everything else."

The song that played before my streams on my old Twitch channel. I love the vibes of a pre-stream with chill music playing, so I thought I'd take a stab at a chill pre-stream tune myself. Fun fact: this is the first song of mine to use a proper drum set which, as you can hear, I had some fun with.
