Happy Holidays!

In 2020, I made a series of lofi hip hop xmas tracks in lieu of visiting family (due to the pandemic).

The album is up on Spotify, but if you're like me and actually enjoy keeping a local collection of music, I have a few download codes available. These are primo uncompressed audio files for audiophiles. Download codes are single-use only, so first come, first served!


Thank you for being wonderful creative people. Here's to 2024!

I'm keen on doing some action jazz type music for the forthcoming Lackadaisy episodes and would like to get some demos in the hands of people who make decisions. I've spent the better part of a decade (maybe longer?) figuring out how to realistically produce large (and small) ensemble jazz music specifically for scoring animation and I've built up a portfolio of animated projects that have prepared me to meet the challenges of a project just like this.

On the off chance that someone here has a connection with someone on Lackadaisy, I wouldn't mind an introduction.

I've been waiting for what seems like forever to put this track out and I'm so happy it's finally time.

This was originally written for a Pico Day animation in 2022 but ended up taking on a life of it's own. It's the first of hopefully many tracks exploring the dusty vintage-y vibes of retro cult aesthetic.

You can hear the song here:


If you like it, please consider following me on my new social media accounts and adding the song to your spotify playlists. Starting new things from scratch is always a little painful and any help building momentum is always appreciated.

I'm happy to announce that on June 7th, I'll be releasing an extended version of the track I wrote for the Pico Day animation that @stradomyre made last year titled "End Days With The Tankmen". The track was called 'Keep On Running'. While I'm happy with how the original version turned out, it felt a little too short and multiple people asked about a longer version. After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided this will be the first release from a brand new project I'm calling 'Psychic Chime'. I plan on making music inspired by cult cinema, grindhouse, spaghetti westerns, and surf rock. There will probably be some influences from French yé-yé and kitsch thrown in for good measure.


For those of you who have messaged me about an extended version of this track, thank you for your patience! The music was actually finished long ago (fall of last year), but I've always been the type to just slap music online as soon as it's done. I want to actually make a go of doing proper releases with Psychic Chime but that means relying on services to get everything uploaded to ALL streaming platforms before sharing the music, getting actual custom art made, etc. It's a whole thing, but it's fun to learn about (if not a little aggravating when all you want to do is get the music out there).


In the meantime, if you have any interest in this venture, please pre-save the release and follow me on social media using the link below! I have a lot of plans for this project and would love if a couple of you wanted to come along with me for this ride.

Edit: This is an old post. Voting completed and we didn't make it. Thanks to all who supported us!


The Legend of PIPI has been nominated for a Cartoon Crave award! While it's exciting news, we are literally THE ONLY independent production in all of the nominations outside of the "Best Web Series" category. It's David vs Goliath (or PIPI vs the Minotaur). Is there any way that an independent animation with literally ZERO budget can possibly win?

Please consider giving us a vote and help fight back against the monolith of corporate animation!

THE LEGEND OF PIPI IS OUT! I had the absolute pleasure of being able to provide music for this short animated film. It's not every day I get to bust out both epic orchestral chops as well as 1950's kitsch in the same film. (Shoutout to Ian Navarro Silver for his amazing intro music which helped set the tone for everything else). Everyone on the team really worked their tails off to make this and it resulted in something we're all deeply proud of. Please check it out and share it with friends if you like it.

The full version of "Gaea" by The Rotojam collective is now online!


View it here. I am unfortunately unable to post it to NG since I just provided music.


This gorgeous award winning experimental film was directed by Ash Lo Russo, animated by a team of animators using various rotoscoping techniques, all based on choreography/performance by Lady Gaea.

I was fortunate enough to be able to take an experimental electro-acoustic approach to the score for this film. The ability to have full creative license over a score is rare and very much appreciated. All sounds are created from simple waveforms and piano with a decent amount of custom granular processing done in max/msp.

The Loud House live action Christmas movie is out today! I was fortunate enough to be able to assist composer Nick Urata (of Devotchka) on a cue for this film. At the introduction of character Rip Hardcore, you'll hear about 5 minutes of some funky brassy music. This was the first feature length film I was able to work on. I hope to do more in 2022.

I haven't been very active here for awhile because I've been working on something I've had to keep secret. Since the beginning of this year, I've been a composer's assistant on a new Disney Kid's show called Chicken Squad. I'm mostly doing orchestration/arrangement, but occasionally get to write a few cues as well. It's been a ton of work, but the education has been invaluable. The show is definitely for young children so I don't expect many people over the age of 6 to watch it, and I am a pretty low person in the musical pecking order, but after working so long and hard to try to get any foothold in the music industry, it feels good to be able to take a brief moment to celebrate a win.
