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:

Broken Staircases, a new post-rock sonic experiment for your listening pleasure

December 1, 2022 0 Comments

This one has been in gestation for a while, much of it pre-Covid, from the time I was recording Empty Nest. Took a while for it to come into shape in my head, to realize what the record was trying to be, but I think it got there. This is an instrumental post-rock record, largely improvised, with a greater focus on electronic drums than I usually have. It’s meant to be a journey; a series of rises and falls and lulls and crescendos. It’s about looking back for so long, you forget to look forward until it’s too late. Recommended if you like Ride (but instrumental), Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, etc., though I don’t claim for a moment it actually sounds…

New zone out music: Second Slumber – Empty Nest (2020)

May 8, 2020 0 Comments

Unlike writing, I’ve still kept music “pure.” By that I mean it’s still something I go to when I just want to freely express myself, pushing out what’s in my head and heart and soul in an abstract way without worrying about whether or not it’s “right.” So when throughout 2019 I was working on an album I knew would end up being called “Empty Nest,” it wasn’t a formal project I was working towards — dear lord I do too much of that — it was just something I gravitated to when I wanted to escape my thoughts, cares, and worries of the day. Plug in the guitar, put on the headphones, and hope for the best, right? The following is the result, culled…

Listen to Soundtracks for Horror Films, a film score by yours truly – Eric’s Music

February 19, 2019 4 Comments

I’ve been lax in giving the world the music I’ve been creating over the last year or two, especially since there has been some stuff I’m proud of that exists in silence, so here is a film score composed by yours truly: Soundtracks for Horror Films: Music Inspired by the Wash. Except there is no movie of The Wash. Therefore there can’t be a soundtrack for it. Feel free to consider this collection of music anyway. The Wash is in part what was in my head as I composed it, after all. Just skip to the video and download link below if all you want is the music! Otherwise, some explanation is required. This is soundtrack music inspired in part by a horror novel written…
