Got new music in the works for April! I’m adding to my growing album Sleepwalker Suites and Slate Shadows. Sit tight for more updates…if you dare…

My wife made Greek chicken with lemon potatoes. Delicious!

Moonlit nighttime eeriness, just the way I like it.

Starting today, every Cucurbitophobia release will be priced at over $10,000. Only accepting currency in the form of rolled pennies.

One of my many dark, creepy, cinematic tracks. youtu.be/sB2uOKXqg3o?...

For the past 8 years, even before I started Cucurbitophobia, I’ve been a monthly donor to The Trevor Project - a nonprofit organization that serves to prevent suicide amongst LGBTQ+ folks age 25 and under. I’ll forever be an ally.

This would have been a great spooky shot. The bright colored Yes shirt spoils it. Not that there’s anything wrong with Yes, who has delivered some Prog Rock masterpieces.

It’s been a while since I posted, but life has been a series of gut punches and curveballs. Time to take the bull by the horns and turn things around!

Never let the ghosts of your past halt your present or hinder your future. #wisdom #encourageyourself #moveforward “Slate Shadows: I” © 2026 name your price: cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com

I took a break from the Friday the 13th movies and checked out this more recent movie: Mother of Flies. A folk horror slow burner that relies heavily on suspense and dread. (1/2)

Still one more hour of Friday the 13th and a whole weekend of deals at my Bandcamp page. 🔥🔥🎃🔥🔥

Happy Friday the 13th! My following releases are name your price all weekend: A Druid's Tale Rituals The Haunting at Eronos Hotel Sleepwalker Suites and Slate Shadows (always name your price!) And for the rest of my material, save 50% with coupon code: fridaythe13th cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com

Came down with Covid-19 so I’ve been at home on a movie and music binge for the past two days. By the way, it’s Friday the 13th. If a black cat crosses your path, walk up to it and give it lots of pets.

Scream 7 Saw it. Enjoyed it. In my opinion, if you did not enjoy any film in the franchise after Scream 2, then this one will probably not win you over. If you already love most or all of the franchise, then I recommend it for the sake of finishing it up and satisfying your nostalgic senses.

Turn that frown upside down. Or the Smile Entity will do it for you.

“The Harbinger” is a horror/suspense cloaked cinematic piece composed in 2022. youtu.be/sB2uOKXqg3o?...

I don’t use generative AI. I’ve got too much developed skill and natural music ability (e.g. absolute pitch) than to waste it on generative AI trash.

Bandcamp Friday is only in 2 days! Discount will be announced tomorrow evening! Another new “Sleepwalker Suite” has been added to my new ongoing album, Sleepwalker Suites & Slate Shadows. 4 works…so far! Name your price: cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/sleepw... #ambient #sadpiano #moodmusic

So far, my new “ongoing” atmospheric piano album has three tracks. Unlike a traditional album, a new track will be added to the album and released each month throughout 2026 until I decide when it’s finished. Always and forever name your price. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/sleepw...

Today and tomorrow, I’ll be at my mother-in-law’s funeral services giving tons of support to my wife and family. Having lost people close to me over the last 10 years, two great friends and my mother-in-law, has added a few layers of thick skin without leading me to become an asshole. (1/2)

When a black cat crosses your path… …you give it lots and lots of pets. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ There’s Freddie, claiming daddy’s attention and getting the love he deserves.

My mother-in-law passed away this morning. Cancer is awful. I won’t be on much as I’ll be taking some extra time to be there for my wife and family during this traumatic time. These two words to live by easily hit harder than ever: Carpe diem.

“Gale of Lucifer”, released in 2024 on my album IV, is one of my favorite tracks I’ve recorded to date. An elaborate 15 minute avant-garde, cinematic horror composition filled with dark organs, sparse percussion, and a Metal style guitar solo in the middle and end. youtu.be/kPzyxHH5JVw?...

Won’t be posting as much on social media. Not abandoning it completely of course. Will be maximizing my quality time in the real world.

New shirt arrival! 😁

Going forward, I’ll be most active here on Bluesky. Facebook, X, and Instagram have become desolate thanks to their algorithms stifling any chance for independent musicians to gain any significant reach.

Day 3 of training on the new day job while holding down my night job part-time. Time to burn the candle at both ends for just a bit. We need the money and I needed this fresh start with a career pivot. Writing and releasing music under Cucurbitophobia will always be here as my passionate hobby.

Sleepwalker Suites and Slate Shadows is an ongoing collection of new piano based suites that tread rivers of avant-garde suspense and gothic sadness. Every track is to be released throughout 2026 one by one until it’s complete. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/sleepwalker-suites-and-slate-shadows

Ozzy, my one of two black cats, getting the true love he deserves. Freddie, his twin, is gallivanting by the automatic feeder patiently waiting for it to go off any minute. #blackcat #spooky #fuzzy

Cucurbitophobia delivers dark, discordant, avant-garde horror sound art that sprawls multiple genres. Music that pulls you into the darker corners of your mind and doesn’t let you leave so soon. Save 40% on any releases: Code: jan2026 cucurbitophobia.com/music-merch cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.co

Snowed in, and eerily relaxed.

I’m dropping a full work later in 2026. “Sleepwalker Suites”. Enjoy a tiny sample of “Sleepwalker Suite I” #horrormusic #piano

Been really busy lately. But busy is good! Starting a new job soon while still keeping my other job for secondary income. No rest for the wicked! 🔥🔥🔥

Halloween is yet another day closer. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ #blackcat #halloween #spooky

Nexus Insidias turns 5 years old this year. The opening title track is a raw 17 minute Atmospheric Metal/Industrial opus driven by guitars, drum machines, and haunting synth pads. Inspired by film scores of Terminator, Alien, Lifeforce, and Fright Night. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/nexus-...

Save your money and find legit ways to advertise and promote; either on your own or with credible services that don’t offer false promises, bogus playlists, or feedback. I get it. Nothing is free, and promoting/marketing music does cost money. But don’t fall for the blatant scams.

You can tell me that 19th Century Romantic era Classical music or 20th Century Trad Jazz is better or worse than 1990’s Death Metal, 2000’s Crunk or 2010’s Drum n’ Bass, and I’ll tell you you’re neither right nor wrong, depending on the criteria, circumstances, and cultural lens you’re looking in.

Ozzy is right here, having me right where he wants me. 🐈‍⬛ His twin brother Freddie is in the bedroom living the dream and loving his alone time. 🐈‍⬛

No AI. Only some decent lighting and manipulation of color effects on my iPhone. 😈
