Silver Flame "Silver Flame" Instruments: Marimba, Drums Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical Life is the source of mystical potential. Or it isn't. One of the two. If I had to bet... I would probably ask what those words mean. Even 'life' isn't simple. I don't think I could recognize what the first living thing was. It is like making a soup. Hot water? Not soup. Hot water with salt? Not soup. Add a potato? Still not soup. That's just a potato in hot salt water. At some point it becomes soup. Same with life. Bonus fact: Borscht was never soup. It is borscht.

River Fire "River Fire" Instruments: Drums, Hang Drum, Bells, Flute Feel: Calming, Grooving, Mystical This piece has 54 beats each minute. At Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple carving has 54 gods in opposition to 54 demons, and in their struggle they create immortality. Mystics (or mathematicians... whatever) in Ancient Greece knew of the prime factorization of this mystic number. 3 by 3 by 3 by 2. What does this all mean? Not much, as it turns out the concept of a "minute" wasn't familiar to the architects at Angkor Wat.

Nightmare Machine "Nightmare Machine" Instruments: Percussion, Organ, Basses Feel: Action, Driving, Eerie This piece shares a bassline with "Eternal Terminal" (found elsewhere on this site). It also has the same waterphone. You can use these 2 pieces together and make it seem like your project had a custom composer! How cool is that!?

Graveyard Shift "Graveyard Shift" Instruments: Theramin, Choir, Organ, Percussion, Basses Feel: Dark, Grooving, Humorous SpoooooOOoooky! Nothing says comedically spooky quite like a theramin. I don't actually own a theramin, so I cheated. Like I do. This one was created with the ES2 synth, which everyone I know hates and/or fears. It really is just misunderstood, and is quite lovely at parties. ISRC: USUAN1700044 140 bpm Genre: Soundtrack Length: 3:17 Download "Graveyard Shift" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now!

Unholy Knight "Unholy Knight" Instruments: Organ, Percussion, Choir, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Trumpets, Trombones, Tuba, French Horns, Cimbasso, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes Feel: Action, Bouncy, Mystical Oh geez, there's lots of notes in this one. The end of this piece is just woodwinds by themselves, and they are super cool. So often the percussion just takes over these pieces, even though there are some beautiful parts that get attention directed away from them.

Return of the Mummy "Return of the Mummy" Instruments: Tar, Qanun, Choir, Percussion, Strings Feel: Dark, Grooving, Mystical Did you know that people in the 1800s used to make tea out of mummies they dug up in Egypt? Tea. Like the kind you drink. That is because people in the 1800s were dumb. They were so stupid, they thought seaweed was really quite interesting. Today, you would have to be a marine botanist to think seaweed is that exciting. I don't need to mention how "exciting" marine botanists are... Carl! Finding some Caulerpa 20 kilometers outside its published range is no reason to write a paper! And it is certainly no reason to be LATE for your OWN PARTY, CARL!!!

Grim Idol "Grim Idol" Instruments: Basses, Cellos, Violas, Violins, Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes, Organs, Percussion, Cimbasso, Trombones Feel: Action, Dark, Grooving This piece gets a lot of its crazy from the exposed dissonances. So, before you start going on and on about "wrong" notes; They are there for a reason! I'm almost sure of it. They really sound quite intentional. Why else would I write something like that? Totally done with forethought. Yup. 100% on purpose. ISRC: USUAN1700043 140 bpm Genre: Soundtrack Length: 3:45 Download "Grim Idol" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now! Watch the Video on YouTube

Feel: Action, Driving, Dark The whole Orchestral Speed Metal genre has been done to death. But you can't consider yourself a real composer if you haven't checked "Orchestral Speed Metal" off your list.

Eternal Terminal "Eternal Terminal" Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Bass Clarinet, Tubas, Trombones, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes, French Horns Feel: Dark, Driving, Epic I like the waterphone in this piece. It is a bunch of metal tubes welded together, and played with a bow. It is that creepy high-pitched thing you hear in horror movies all the time.

Malicious "Malicious" Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Cellos, Violins, Flutes, Clarinets Feel: Dark, Driving, Eerie More action and more intensity! Remember "Legends of the Hidden Temple"? Seriously? It only lasted 3 seasons. It must have been more difficult than it looked. Okay, I wasn't on the show, but I think I could have assembled a silver monkey statue with only 3 pieces.
