Just got out of the theater for Obsession… …AMAZING movie!

My wife and I just returned from a 4 day trip to Greensboro, NC. We attended our friends’ wedding, met with other friends, visited UNCG, explored the downtown, ate lots of food, did some sightseeing, and enjoyed every moment.

I don’t find pianos. Pianos find me!

Today’s new find. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

RITUALS turned 3 years old this year. It’s one of my more ambient releases. Very sparse percussion, if any at all. Lots of piano, strings, synth pads, and mellotrons to create a powerful atmosphere. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/album/rituals

Black Coffee hits the spot!

It’s been quite a while, but I’m on a mission to complete the rest of entire album by Autumnal Equinox, just in time for Halloween season. 🎃

Nosferatu (1922) is a classic! The various remakes are awesome in their own way too.

Suntan? Sunburn? Who knows and who cares? Lovin’ life and that’s all there is to it.

Beach day!

Unlocking myself…with my new Periphery T-shirt!

My attitude towards sports in general is, usually, indifference. I can enjoy watching a game of any sport, if I feel like it. I admire and commend the efforts that go into competitive sports. That said, I personally much prefer and enjoy the arts in their many manifestations.

One of my hard hitting Retrowave meets EDM tracks, “Crypt Exploration” is a free-fall into a neon-tinted abyss. Track 5 on my most recent album, 21st Century Urban Sorcery. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/track/crypt-...

Ozzy trapped me. I’m going to be here a while. Fine by me!

“Gale of Lucifer” is a 17 minute avant-garde, cinematic, horror film score inspired dark ambient work I created two years ago. Key: mostly C# minor, but with dissonant, augmented, atonal sensibilities. cucurbitophobia.bandcamp.com/track/gale-o...

I formed Cucurbitophobia 8 years ago. I’ve been a vendor at horror conventions including Chiller Theater Expo and NJ Horror Con, gotten reviewed in Rue Morgue magazine, and recently had a 14 minute track hit 400,000 views on TikTok without a single paid boost. Small victories, but all worthwhile.

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.
