3 nurses and my wife asked if I wanted help with a shower. It quickly became apparent that they actually do think that I ...smell bad? That's not how that dream was supposed to go 🙁 Upside is that the surgery was successful and complications are being addressed

2024 was very...interesting (?) and 2025 is guaranteed to start off the same way. That said, I have big plans for the New Year and I can't wait to share all the new adventures with you. Here's wishing a happy, productive and artistic 2025 to everyone! #composerlife #jazz #focaldystonia #filmmusic

I haven't really posted any of the music from my last album as a Hornist, so here's one of my favorite tracks from At What Age featuring poet EJ Antonio open.spotify.com/track/2ekQIt...

At one point I was working on a project to score Oscar Micheaux silent film Within Our Gates, so I spent some time doing character sketches. Here's a bit of one for the main character, played by Evelyn Preer. The whole thing is on my YouTube which is in my bio... #composer #filmmusic #blackfilm

Santa has 7 daughters?!? In this short from @scrawnystrange.bsky.social, Papreeka teaches Mason how to make her special hot chocolate (and offers to play fire tamales with him)... #music #composer #filmmusiccomposer #filmmusic #productionmusic

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

A bit of an introduction (since I'm actually spending time over here now). I'm a media composer (I do sometimes get the occasional commission, though). I had a long career playing French Horn, mostly in jazz and improvised music #jazz #filmmusic #frenchhorn #film #composer #jazzhorn #indiefilm

A while back I "played" (watched) an online game that had fairytale characters living in the real world. The Big Bad Wolf was the sheriff and was very busy solving a murder mystery. I REALLY want to score something like that...

Finally got to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Meet Wally. He's my new studio assistant. He has the very important jobs of holding my headphones and my glasses... #composerlife #studiolife #music #filmmusic #productionmusic #frenchhornplayer #recordingstudio #mediamusic #jazz #newmusic

Just a taste of the score for a recent horror opus from Scrawny Strange Productions! I always have so much fun doing these! #filmmusiccomposer #composerlife #filmmusic #newmusic #horrormovies #shortfilm #indiefilm #originalmusic

Breath.Eyes from my album "At What Age" available from my Bandcamp page (link in bio). Thought I'd post a version with a bit of the melody... #jazz #jazzhorn #frenchhorn #composer #composerlife #music #improvisation #contemporaryjazz #originalmusic
