A theme created in 2019 for the shortlived Heylo Reylo podcast.

I was asked to combine the Rey theme and the Kylo Ren theme, and they worked very well together!

This is my submission to the OhmLab Subscriber Challenge, which requires the use of the sample pack that is given to the subscribers each month. Update: This track tied for 1st place! 😁

This month, the sample pack was a boatload of dialog samples from the 30s film "Reefer Madness". A fun one!

This was my submission for the Low Island "Everything Before Us" remix competition. I was struggling finding something that would stick (I had scrapped three other previous attempts), but on Tuesday afternoon I had put on "The Eyes of Stanley Pain", a mid-90s record from Download, and decided to take a bit of inspiration from it. This isn't as harsh and abrasive as that record, but I think the drum pattern and vibes of the synths through the verse section are a reflection of it.

The bassline is new, but samples the original stem, and the warbly synth is also the original stem, though treated heavily. Formant shifted the vocal line, and in the B-section added a fair amount of Audio Damage's Replicant plugin to it. Other synths are also from Audio Damage, including Continua (lead) and Phosphor (pads), and also the "drum" break that fades in during the B section is the very underrated Axon. Ableton 707 drum rack, with another Ableton pack (acoustic guitar noises, or something like that) providing additional percussion.

Theme for the Pod-Wraiths podcast, a pod rewatching the show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This piece is intended to evoke that theme.

Theme for the Mad Men rewatch podcast Still Great, Bob

Theme for Martha and Colby Grow Up, originally made for its predecessor podcast, Shit You Need to Know.

I made a looping bit of music for ad reads for A Storm of Spoilers, and they continued to use it on The Storm: A Lost Rewatch Podcast.

Theme for the podcast The Storm: A Lost Rewatch Podcast

For coverage of the final season of Game of Thrones, I did a "classical" rendition of the existing theme I had made.
