Dusk.

Music is the elixir of life

And now, the daily ritual of brushing begins. #blackcats

Twilight clouds. I captured even better photos tonight as well, but I’m saving them for album artwork. 🔥🎃🔥

Caveat (2020) is a slow burner with a claustrophobic atmosphere. This is the kind of horror that pulls you in and leaves you feeling trapped in a suspenseful nightmare. Whistle (2025) Although I wish they could have added more backstory and elaborated more on the lore, I had fun watching it.

It’s been a while. Time to dig into this again.

Happy 6th Birthday to Ozzy and Freddie, the two most charming, handsome, lovable, adorable creatures we could have ever asked for! Here’s some candid, unfiltered, non-glossy photos of the kiddos playing, hunting, fishing for treats, and posing for the camera l̶i̶k̶e̶ *because* they own the place. 🐾🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾

Stop dreaming for good things. Wake up, take action, and get those good things.

Finally found time to install new battery components and get my laptop fixed. Learning how to fix small things on my own with the right tools acquired is rewarding and saves money in the long run.

Now revisiting. These just never get old!

This scene in Burnt Offerings (1976) terrified me as a kid. It still gives a bit of the chills to this day. The combination of the music and the chauffeur’s sunglasses and smile gives off that perfect sense of dread. youtu.be/QJu5ZKexqFg?...

Still alive and kickin’! Played an outdoor festival with the band I direct over the weekend. Recorded keys for a Funk/Fusion track on a friend’s upcoming single. Planning some epic trips with my wife for Summer. And more extremely eerie music coming your way this Summer into Autumn.

My first exclusively Retrowave release with spooky vibes. Released last year. Enjoy on the night of Beltane/May Day - halfway to Samhain/Halloween. 🔥🎃🔥 cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/21st-c...

You can be the greatest, nicest, kindest, most perfect person in history who hasn’t made a single mistake in life, and you’re still going to have people who hate you, mock you, taunt you, and wish you the worst. That’s the way of the world. (1/3)

Working solid hours at the new job which I love, and I’ve got some paid music session work lined up. More original material coming soon too!

Classical Music Works to Get to Know Me: Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring Schoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire Prokofiev - Scythian Suite Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker Varese - Poème électronique

It’s been forever since I self-promoted. Inspired by horror themes and pagan symbolism. Sprawling multiple genres, anchored in the avant-garde, tied together by cinematic pianos and haunting synths. No AI is used in any of my music or artwork. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/music

Freddie beat me to the coffee station. He gets more pets as a result!

Performed 2 sets with the outstanding band that I direct for a private event. Plus helped the sound engineer set up and break down the PA, amps, mics, drums, and main instruments like I do every gig. What an awesome time! And tomorrow I do it all over again!

Still a work in progress, but almost ready for recording, rehearsing, and performing.

Two months ago, I went through a career pivot. I now have a solid 9-5 full-time job. Difficult but rewarding. I make extra money in music by teaching and by directing a band. My original music has always been a hobby. More now than ever. But it’ll never go away.

Thank you very much @sleradio.bsky.social for all of your support! 🔥🎃🔥

Happy Easter! Hail the Bunny! 🐇 We’re almost halfway to Halloween too, so get ready! 🔥🎃🔥

21st Century Urban Sorcery is my full on Retrowave, Synthwave, EBM album. Every track is driven by pulsating beats designed to steal your soul. 😈 cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/21st-c...

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. 🔥🔥🎃🔥🔥

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?...
