I’m doing something ironic tonight. My original motivation for having this website was to get my projects finished, polished, and out the door in a presentable format. But today I’m bringing you the sloppy, raw and uncut music of a Friday night jam session. So many times I have sat down to […]
I used to write music when I was depressed. Not the melancholy waxing lyrical that the typical songwriter typically indulges in, but instead it’s sort of an emotional stewing in one’s own juices. I was soaking up a feeling to the point where words couldn’t describe how I felt nearly as well as […]
Every once in a while there comes a moment of pure magic in improvised theatre. For example, consider the Royal Medieval Faire, where I play Sir Morden of Blackmoore. You never know how the people are going to interact with you, and you have to be ready for anything.
After five fights, a bloody […]
Each September, there is a medieval faire in Waterloo showcasing exciting swordfights between knights in cool medieval costumes. If you decide to go, you’ll find yourself milling about the fictional kingdom of Mearth interacting with the lords and ladies, knights and squires, and even the King and Queen. Your experience is entirely up […]
Lately, I’ve been having all kinds of nostalgic fun playing my old compositions. I composed this particular piece in about 1989. It marks the height of my piano composition abilities in my high school years. After all this time, the piece has remained largely unchanged and surprisingly, unnamed! I never needed to […]
I created this music when I was in my early University days. Listening to it now, I’m amazed at how it has withstood the test of time. Over the years, I have never gotten bored of it. From a technical standpoint, Excellent, written back in 1991, vastly underutilizes the gear I have now. But somehow […]
“I wanna say a little something that’s long overdue”, go the lyrics to Sure Shot by The Beastie Boys. My first music-video-length animation has finally made its debut. The video is a fast moving collage of imagery that mostly conveys the literal meaning lyrics, but sometimes it plays games with you, inviting you […]
The first comment I received about this short was that it was dark. The second, was that it was an art film. Heaven and Earth fits the bill in both ways. What comes off as perhaps a cynical view of religion is intended to be more of a Taoist commentary on the perils […]
In 2006, on the warmest January day this city has seen in a hundred years, I took the Canon XL2 into the backyard to shoot some video. The finished product, called Melting, is a visual exploration of what the sun does to ice and snow on a warm winter’s day–set to an instrumental soundtrack.
The movie […]
