Campfire Radio Theater - "The Bones of Saint Nicholas" John Ballentine presents a wonderfully twisted Christmas story, not to mention a wonderful musical challenge for me, in the latest episode of Campfire Radio Theater. Being a fan of "Silent Night Deadly Night" (especially the score) made this project even more fascinating to work on. There is something about blending holidays and horror together that is intriguing, especially when that holiday happens to be Christmas. This episode also features Dani Aviles, someone I have collaborated on various music projects over the last 10+ years. She provides her usual high-quality vocals on......

Campfire Radio Theater - "The Ghost of Lori Keegan" In composing music for audio drama, I make every effort to create the strongest emotional connections between the music and the story.

This episode helped me to dig deeply into my own psyche and channel music that I believe helped illuminate this powerful story created by......

For those not familiar with the story, "Gerald" was originally written by Bill Gray for CBC's Nightfall (horror anthology series) and is set in 1983. Having grown up in the 80s and with a love of synthesizers, this score was something I could really sink my teeth into.......

If you've read much on my site, then you know I love audio drama. One of my favorite stories comes from Norman Corwin. "The Plot To Overthrow Christmas" was written in 1938. The first time I heard it was as a teenager in a small town. The 1942 version of the play was aired on WSIU, the same station where I heard Nightfall, A Canticle For Leibowitz, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Star Wars, The Fourth Tower Of Inverness, and many more. I did a bit of remastering to remove quite a bit of hum, hiss, clicks, pops, and......
