The Writers of the Universe
Instrumental Music I wrote inspired by The Writers of the Universe, it is meant to capture the mood and the feelings of the characters within the chapter the song was written for. Some what like a score for this book.
Intercepted Transmissions
Music I wrote with a friend of mine, we called our band Sounds Like Yer Dead, I consider this double album some of the best music I have ever created.
