I was interviewed for the new Stray Pointers podcast

August 2, 2023 0 Comments

  Writer and tech whiz Jim Lawless has recently launched a new podcast interview series, Stray Pointers, and I was honored and delighted to be his first guest. Had a chance to discuss how I got into writing, what drives creative projects, my books, and more. It was a great experience. Jim is a great interviewer and I look forward to seeing who else he talks to in the days and weeks (and hopefully months and years) ahead. For now, you can listen to my interview here.

I did the music for this award-winning indie animated series

March 7, 2023 0 Comments

The first episode of Paradise Lost, a new indie animated series by Chicken Dynasty (aka Michael), won Best Animated Film at the GenCon 2022 Film Festival. So that’s awesome. Also awesome is that I created the score and music for the show, including the opening and closing themes. It’s been a fun project and I’m grateful that my odd ambient experiments caught Michael’s ear. I’ve seen the first four episodes so far and am happy to report that he’s building some good drama here. Take a look at the first episode:

Finally finishing a music project feels great! (m2 – Passageways to the Ever)

January 7, 2022 0 Comments

It feels like forever since I finished a music project. That’s because it’s been since pre-pandemic since I finished anything, and pandemic time has been an eternity. I do music because it gets something out of my system. If I go too long without creating some sounds, I get antsy. So I’m glad to have finally finished something. Granted, all of this material was recorded pre-Covid. It just took me that long to put it all together — not because it was difficult, but because my head just wasn’t in it. Such has been Covid life. But it’s finished, and I’m happy with it. These are guitar soundscapes and ambient drones, meant for the background or, if you just want to clear your head, for…

Our nerdy nostalgia podcast has somehow reached 20 episodes

October 23, 2017 1 Comment

About a year ago, I had a terribly stupid idea that I pitched to a friend during a brief moment when I was out of my damn mind. It went something like this:   And that was it. I mean, not really. There was planning and this and that, setting up pages and feeds, yada frickin’ yada. All the boring behind the scenes stuff. But the gist of it all was, “Let’s do a podcast waxing nostalgic about the 1990s” … which was an odd idea for me, since I’m not a particularly nostalgic person. Look forward, says I. Behind is bullshit. But it seemed like a fun idea for a podcast to add to the Youtube stuff we’d be doing together, so why not?…
