Celestial Being
Stephen Steinbacher & Zach Barrett annihilate your senses with this neon-soaked Maya Deren homage. Features exhilarating genre tropes amidst visuals that my mind would like to mop up and stew in for at least an eternity. Hoods up, Mirrors out, Check this asap:

House 1977
So I have a new full length album out. It is not, despite how I've set this up, a live score for Hausu (but feel free to watch the movie with my album playing!)
It's actually an 8 song album I wrote throughout the pandemic going through the grieving process after my father's death in July 2020.
So why Hausu then? Well, I rented it right at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020 and it was…

Hell Has No Boundary 1982
If you're not careful, this impeccably gnarly Hong Kong possession flick will gnaw away at your eye sockets until your skull is a dried out husk.
It's May's birthday, so off she goes with her boyfriend for a li'l camping trip on a nearby island. Cue the glowing green ghost calling to May and let the demonic possession begin!

Cue the epic Pino Donaggio-esque…

Inferno 1980
So here it is. This is the live score I wrote for Inferno. Performed live in a movie theatre in Toronto last October but now with plague-life reducing us to strictly home viewing, I've assembled a revised/improved version so you can stream it at your own convenience.

Evil Dead Trap 1988
Late 80's Japanese ultra-banger supernatural-slasher industrial-nightmare. Get your hyphens ready, cutie-pie! This one mixes all the right ingredients together for that ultimate brain rot.
Nami, a late night TV host, receives a mysterious VHS tape containing the real deal: a snuff film of a woman's eye getting brutally punctured in an abandoned warehouse. Intrigue levels skyrocket, leading Nami to bring a small production crew out to investigate this decrepit setting where she's certain the filming took place.
Sure enough, she's right,…
