Campfire Radio Theater - "Last Resort" The latest episode of Campfire Radio Theater comes from a story outline I shared with John quite awhile back. He did a fantastic job turning it into something quite horrific, which comes as no surprise. I've been cooking up stories for years, but I tend to prioritize music over writing stories, so those remain unfinished for now. "Last Resort" is a perfect title for the story (something else John is quite good at creating). As a musician, I played my first professional gig in 1978, just a few weeks after turning twelve years old.......

Campfire Radio Theater - "The Dreams of Wolves" It's that time of year again to share another episode of Campfire Radio Theater. John's sound design on this particular episode is absolutely top-notch! Recommended for those who enjoy classic Universal monster movies, history buffs, and howling at the moon. Composer side note: As easy as it would have been to use a traditional march tune, I opted to write something original and attempt to capture the feel and time of the Civil War drum & fife band. The rest of the score is stripped down with traditional instrumentation with only a......

Plassgard - "Decade In Despair" I began collaborating with Anders over ten years ago. "Ballet of the Mechanical Doll" is the first track I worked on and absolutely fell in love with the song. Anders is a terrific songwriter and has a knack for writing such haunting melancholy tunes. "Decade In Despair" is filled with 18 tracks we have worked on together spanning over ten years. It took quite a long time to assemble this album and I hope I've done it justice. We have worked on one other album together called Elektrik Warfare released back on October 1, 2018.......

Before After Again - "Again" On August 13th, we released the second album from Before After Again. "Again" features 11 tracks of darkwave, electro-rock, post-punk influenced music written by Jason Whitcomb and produced by Before After Again. The album continues to receive very positive feedback! "Sweet Candy" and "VWS" are the current standout tracks garnering the most attention. Working on the album was an absolute pleasure and came together relatively quickly for us. Fortunately, the archives run deep with many tracks to choose from for future development of a subsequent release. I have also discussed a solo album project featuring......

Campfire Radio Theater - "The Road Ends at the Sea" Back on May 7, 1982, just over 40 years ago, CBC radio aired "The Road Ends at the Sea," an excellent tale by award-winning writer Tim Wynne-Jones. I'm proud to announce that Campfire Radio Theater has created a new production of this wonderful story. On top of that, it features an excellent cast and the ever-present, high-quality production of John Ballentine. Composer side note: Due to the nature of this story, I took a more abstract, dark ambient approach that was an absolute pleasure to immerse myself into. Haunted by......
