June 12 - Where I've Been, Two New Releases, and What to Expect Soon

Welcome, everyone, to my blog. This post was intended to be published on Sunday, June 5. However, I was out of town until a few days ago.

Today’s first orders of business are my two newest releases: “The Everton Mines” and “Messages from Beyond. The former piece stands as one of my favorites in my entire catalog,

and I’m overjoyed to see that many of you seem to also share this opinion. Stylistic inspiration for the piece can be traced primarily to James Newton Howard’s score for the first Fantastic Beasts film, along with Carlos Rafael Rivera’s spectacular music for The Queen’s Gambit. You can find the link to all three at the bottom of this post.

“Messages from Beyond” is far more subdued, featuring the cimbalom, a European dulcimer. A link is attached at the bottom of this post.

Next, I would like to sincerely thank E.G. Foley for once again featuring my music, this time in their newsletter. You can find the link at the bottom of this post.

Next, a brief teaser for June 16th’s upcoming premiere. In contrast to “Messages from Beyond,” this one is very bombastic and dark. It will be quite the challenging listen for those vulnerable to high volume, so fair warning.

And finally, a listening recommendation. A link to Pale 3’s gorgeous “Cloud Atlas Sextet” can be found at the bottom of this post.

Stay tuned for the next post, coming June 19 if all goes to plan! Feel free to add a comment at the bottom or reach out to me if you have questions.
