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......

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......

Campfire Radio Theater - "Abominations" A brand new episode of Campfire Radio Theater has just been released to give you a fright. Please do have a listen, preferably in the dark somewhere that is very quiet. Bonus points for listening with headphones while alone. Composer side note: This episode presented a fun challenge of writing a piece of carousel music. Thanks to John Scott Ballentine for always providing me with entertaining challenges as a composer. A small town carnie with big ambitions is spooked and intrigued by the uncanny abilities of a mysterious old man living under the carnival fairgrounds.......

Victor Bonato - "This Christmas Eve" Vic and I have been working on music together for around 11 years or so. You may have heard him on the Cambium release or some of the singles I've posted over the years. He's a wonderfully gifted composer and writes his own brand of music. The first time I heard his work, it struck me as theatrical, odd, and entirely wonderful. It was a bit rough around the edges back then, but so enticing in a mad musical scientist way that pulled me right in. I knew I wanted to work with him......
