This piece is one that I started a while back. To be honest, it was written on a rather bad day, one where everything seemed to be going wrong on top of some emotional difficulties. As I went to a practice

This track is a really pleasant song from The Simpsons Movie. The classic Lydian mode usage leads to a tranquil sound that fits the flowing melody. I recently re-watched this movie, thanks to Disney+,

This movie is by far my favorite movie. I remember seeing it on a Friday afternoon on a trip to San Francisco when the weather wasn't too great. Despite the fact that the fire alarm went off in the movie

The Hogwarts' band may not have existed until the Goblet of Fire, but the one song they played sure does beat Pomp and Circumstance. This track has a certain charm to it that brings back the magic of Hogwarts,

After seeing The Rise of Skywalker in theaters, I knew that I wanted to learn one of the pieces that was pivotal in that movie. I had narrowed it down between March of the Resistance and this one here,

This has always been such a beautiful piece. It's particularly amazing because of how perfect it is without being complex. The notes that Zimmer used are so perfect for the extremely slow tempo and it

After seeing Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker I wanted to go back and watch some of the older films. I always had a deep love for The Phantom Menace, as it happened to be one of the few VHS, yes VHS, tapes

I've always loved this piece by Chopin. The melody of the piece is actually extremely simple. The repetitive figure transposes down throughout the piece as the falling chords pull it down. Yet, for how

This track was the first on the album that I released. It's entire purpose as a track was to set a dark mood for the album, as it depicts the rising evil that must be defeated by the protagonist. Starting

I always intended to cover this piano piece from Star Trek a long time ago but somehow never got around to it. I took a slightly different approach to this one than a normal pianistic approach, emulating

These shots were actually from quite a while back, in May of all times, but thought that they would be fitting giving some of the recent snowy winter weather. This happened to be on the first day of summer

This piece was inspired by the Oboist, who had a dream that I was writing a sequel piece to one of my previous quartets. At that moment I wasn't working on anything with full force so I thought "why

I've always loved this song from the moment that I heard it in GoT. The way it is sung is beautiful yet simple, making it a believable form of a national anthem for House Lannister. Throughout the show,

This is one of the pieces that really sparked my interest in continuing to write orchestral music. I felt like at the second half of the piece I really tapped into a sound that I had been meaning to approach

At this point the rain was really coming down overhead and I had to take some cover under this tree. As I sat there, I realized that it was a pretty good angle to capture the full image of Sprague Lake

These two shots were taken about 10 minutes apart. The lighting difference between them wasn't quite as drastic in real life, but the changes in clouds and exposure settings created 2 very distinct photos.

From this vantage point it was clear just how vast the expanse of the mountains were. Every side of this valley had a towering mountain around it, but none close enough that it felt truly enclosed.

This was one of the first shots that I took while really messing with exposure and timing. Sadly I didn't have a powerful enough filter to get the water a little bit more of a solid sheet without bringing

Hi runners of Steemit! Now that the winter months have finally settled in and it's getting too cold to go outside and run (for me at least) I've been using the indoor track at my gym. To be perfectly honest,

Found this acorn sitting on a nice little rock next to the stream. It was in a shaded area and it was quite serene. Also currently composing a piece for alto saxophone and percussion that is about the
