My partner, Marie Johnna, is putting out her first book as an author, Cold Magnolia! I’m obviously super proud of her and ready to help wherever I can… and help I have! In preparation of releasing the book, she needed to put together a short trailer and tasked me with composing some music for it.… Continue reading Small Bit of Composing for Cold Magnolia

Hump Day Double Feature
It’s rare that you get a two-fer from me, especially months since I last put anything out. Unsurprisingly, these were actually made in the second half 2024, but recently acquired hobbies and a trip to Japan made me forget that they existed. Good thing a friend of mine was throwing an open mic party. I… Continue reading Hump Day Double Feature
10-4, Good Buddy!
I know y’all have just been bugging my ear off begging for new music (…right?), so here ya go! Quit yer yapping and listen to this campfire ditty, why don’t ya!? Editor’s Notes: I’ve been sitting on this track for a good while now (this past April-ish). I couldn’t really figure out how to keep… Continue reading 10-4, Good Buddy!
Cruisin’ USA but it’s a song
Had this one brewin’ for what felt like a millennia. Sometimes you just gotta let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Hope you dig it! I decided to go in a guitar-focused route on this one. Hopefully it doesn’t stick though because my synthesizers are getting jealous.

MIDI + Guitar = Kewl?
Let’s be real, I’m a cheap b*st*rd. I’d love to get my hands on one of those sick Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 pedals. But instead of money, I’ve got plenty of time to spend! That and a stash of Raspberry Pi Picos. Hence, the Pico Guitar Midi Tracker! The idea here is that the MCU will listen… Continue reading MIDI + Guitar = Kewl?
I’ve Been Wounded and I’ve Decided
I don’t make cover songs often, but when I do I try my best to bridge genres. In this case, folk and electronica? It doesn’t matter too much, because I did my best to keep it as simple as possible. A soothing pad to lay the foundation, creeping bass to build emotion, and far-away fuzz… Continue reading I’ve Been Wounded and I’ve Decided
Swing and a miss!
Actually, I hope I didn’t miss with this one! Check out this lovely track with the added loveliness of the photography that Samantha so graciously blessed us with. This one originated from a little ditty (the melody at the beginning) that sprung into my head in the middle of the night. I woke up in… Continue reading Swing and a miss!
Domesticity? I think not!
We’re going hard and heavy now, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me! After some gnarly events happened in my neighborhood to a seemingly normal nuclear family, I couldn’t help myself but to add to the mystery in the only way I could, music! I hesitate to call this one an “electronic” track,… Continue reading Domesticity? I think not!
A little something for my bay-bay
Wrote and recorded this one a few months ago for a small mixtape for my wifey’s b-day. After a little bit of begging, she finally agreed to let me put this one out. IT’S JUST TOO GOOD! A good bit of nostalgic 80s pop in there with a basic LinnDrum beat with plenty of gated… Continue reading A little something for my bay-bay
