EarthBound 🌏 Home Sweet Home [Spatialized Mix] 

Revitalizing synthesizer textures to guide you toward your sanctuary.

We grow up, we drift apart, we can no longer go back. Yet somehow, the music carries us there. Isn't it nice to be home again?

This is my take on "Home Sweet Home" from the 1994 Super Nintendo game EarthBound (Mother 2).

There are some instances of head-related transfer function (HRTF) spatialization techniques within this mix. Headphones are recommended to best experience the expanded stereo properties of this mixing technique.

EarthBound 🌏 Paula's Theme [Spatialized Mix] 

This is my take on "Paula's Theme" from the 1994 Super Nintendo game EarthBound (Mother 2).

I always wondered what that crunchy sound in the song was. Turns out, it's a triggered sample of a cash register!

Old School 80s BMX Bike Footage ✨🚴✨ Compilation 


Short compilation of 80s era BMX bike footage.

Starts with segments from the cult classic film "Rad," and then shifts into some more obscure and lost-to-VHS fuzzy memories. Music: "Air Man" by Will C.

Other Shores, Other Worlds 🌎 



"Other Shores, Other Worlds" is a new song, but the familiar feeling it evokes is drawing from a forever cycling vibration the cosmos are sending out even right now, at this very moment.

Composed on a long lost to time, recently resurrected Synergy I synthesizer. In its heyday, this unique instrument was used extensively by music icon Wendy Carlos, whose credits include film scoring for Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange," as well as "TRON." The Synergy was a contemporary of the Nintendo Entertainment System, and sure enough, sounds are loaded onto the synthesizer via old school video-game style cartridges. 

Dr. Andonut's Lab (EarthBound Music) Acoustic Guitar Version 


This is "Dr. Andonut's Lab" from the Super Nintendo game Earthbound (MOTHER 2) soundtrack, only it's entirely played on acoustic guitar.

Extended to 30 minutes in length for studying, meditation, and / or zone out purposes.

At the beginning, you hear me pluck the opening chord. An acoustic guitar can't sustain infinitely, so I ran the plucked chord through a compressor with a long release and rode the gain dial, then I duplicated the resulting processed chord, continuously adding fades to make the chord sustain throughout. I was surprised how much the resulting sound resembled an organ drone. If you listen closely, you can hear an audio book on the immune system playing in the other room that accidentally was picked up on the microphone used to record the guitar.

Supermoon 🌕 (Under The Supermoon) 


Under the Supermoon we met...

Waltz time side quests ✨ The chorus section is my take on "Sunflower"-era Bruce Johnston through a hypnotic prism.

Thank God for the Casiotone MT-100 keyboard I found in the furniture section of a local thrift store for $7.99.

I launched Harmony Integrative Therapy, LLC today. I guess it's only right that on the day I open a Music Therapy private practice, I share a composition of mine that is supposed to represent jubilation and constant elevation. I hope you enjoy it.
