Childhood Echoes at Fish Creek

A solo piano performance of Robert Schumann’s ‘Of Strange Lands and Strange People’ filmed at Fish Creek and Outer Point in Juneau, Alaska. This nostalgic piece from Scenes from Childhood carries deep personal meaning—it was the opening music from The Adventures of Milo and Otis, a film that felt like home growing up. Filmed on Lingít Aaní before the Douglas development changes this quiet, beautiful landscape forever.

Santeria (Cover Song) with UA plugins

A piano and vocal cover of Sublime’s classic ‘Santeria’ recorded with a Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface and tracked in Ableton. Features live vocals, some llama friends (both cup and stuffed variety), and video edited in Premiere. A fun, laid-back take on a 90s staple.

Sweetwater – A 3D Player Piano

A four-voice piano arrangement inspired by the Westworld intro, expanded to move through 3D space with time-synced visual effects for each voice. Recorded on a ROLI Seaboard RISE 25 with green screen in 4K, then processed using After Effects, Tone.js, and custom ExtendScript code to render MIDI data as animated rectangles. Mixed in Ableton with final render in Premiere.

Where is My Mind? (Cover Song)

A solo piano arrangement of the Pixies’ iconic song, famously used in the final scene of Fight Club. I usually perform a vocal + piano version at shows, but this stripped-down solo piano take came after changing up my setup. Like everyone else, I first heard it at the end of Fight Club—how vanilla is that?

My Mind (Original Song)

I wrote this song while I was living on Susan Butcher’s Dogsled farm. I was in college at the time and living in a dry cabin, that is, a cabin without running water. I will…

Still Alive (Portal)

I got some inspiration to try and create the effect from Portal, a.k.a. GLaDOS. It’s a lot of fun—there are things I could have smoothed out—but I’m satisfied with this pass.

T.N.T. Acoustic (AC/DC)

I’ve never really taken guitar lessons and am terrified to see all my bad habits face me. It’s a great instrument, but except for a few songs I’m on piano. (So I say “I…

An End Once and For All by Clint Mansell

I originally recorded this on 3/1/2016, so I’ve listed that as the publish date, but I went back and hit it with some re-engineering at the sound level on 2/13/2017.

Rains of Castamere

A solo piano cover of ‘The Rains of Castamere’ from Game of Thrones—the haunting Lannister anthem that plays during some of the show’s most memorable (and devastating) moments. A dark, brooding piece that’s always a crowd favorite.
