Not of This World
A lot has been going on, and due to the massive amount of projects that have piled up, I’ve been lacking on posting routine entries here. I’ll try to be brief (since there is a lot to cover):
- Back in the Game (feat. Victory) is included in the EML Recordings compilation album EML Network, Vol. 1. A release is planned for late March, and it will be available as a digital download through several online retailers.
- Collaborations are moving along with Doshus and Adam Pearson. All I can say is there is the possibility for another EP release with these new tracks, so we’ll see what happens further down the road.
- Production is underway for Ghostly Encounters, a Halloween-themed full-length album scheduled for digital release on 12 October. The album will feature a combination of sound effects, a variety of trance & industrial rock tracks, and a small selection of new single tracks.
- I have been named the technical director for a friend’s stage production company. Our first production titled Same Time Next Year will open on 17 April and run through 25 April at Theatre Unlimited in North Hollywood.
- The script is still in development for Breaking Point, the film project that lead to my current full-length release of the same name. My part of the score has been completed for now, and I’ll be working with my director on specific parts he needs when production starts on the film itself.

Featured Song of the Month:
Disconnected (feat. J. Whitman)
I know it has been a few weeks since I last made a post here, but ti goes without saying that being the busy man that I am, some things get put behind. I like to think that I manage the best I can with my time and expertise, and the past few weeks have certainly put both to the test. Just to give you a little update on what has been happening:
- I’ve recently finished work on “The Last Days of Judas Iscariot” at The Raven Playhouse in North Hollywood. An old friend of mine was directing the show, and he asked me to help him out by taking on the role of Technical Director. Things were working out fine until the day of load-in, when his Assistant Director went over my head and proceeded to design the entire set himself (and poorly, I should add). Much to my dismay, we did the best we could to salvage the set, and thankfully, the cast saved the show from a possible disastrous demise (and the last minute addition of me running the sound board since the person assigned as run crew bailed out on my friend).
- I’ve also recently finished two new Nine Inch Nails remixes from the album Year Zero. This is something more for my spare time when I don’t have any new material to write, and it gives me a chance to practice my art using material I’m familiar with. Besides, remixing songs by one of my favorite artists is definitely fun and challenging, so I say, why not do as many as I can?
There is plenty more I can share about my work, and as anyone can see, I certainly enjoy what I do (with the exception of dealing with those who can’t seem to understand their place in this profession). But I’m not bitter or angry: more like annoyed and frustrated, but thankfully, those moments pass as quickly as they occur, so there is no need to be upset over what is and how it will turn out in the end. All I can do is continue to focus on doing what I feel is right within reason.</p>
