  • Taylor Guitars Spotlight: My Acoustic Tone That Stole the Goats Trailer

    Aw, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m getting featured on Taylor Guitar’s website. This is actually pretty cool. I was asked by Taylor Guitars if I would do a little clip about how I got a particular guitar sound for the trailer Goats. Well, here it is in all it’s glory.

    How I Got That Sound

    The bonus is, I’ve been asked to do more of them. So stay tuned. As I complete projects that utilize my favorite acoustic guitars (Taylor Guitars ahem hem). Then there will be more of them.

    Enjoy

    p.s. – There’ll likely be an update before long when Dean Markley also ends up posting this.

  • Utah Music Spotlight: Hero Unexpected Now on Utah Musicians Radio

    To all my lovely Unity 42 friends, I’m now appearing on Utah Musicians Radio. Little known fact is that I grew up in Utah (no, I’m not mormon). It’s an online radio station that features what else but music from people who create it and are in Utah. As I’m on a break, creating new music (in Utah), it’s only fitting that I’m pushing a little bit of the airwaves too.

    The song Hero Unexpected has gone into rotation on their site / stream. Take a moment and listen to them wherever you are.

    There’s going to be a bit of a surprise about this station soon as well. I’ll keep you wondering what that is for now.

    Go forth and enjoy the music!

  • Soundtracking Strange Families: My Ride into the Goats Trailer

    Soundtracking Strange Families: My Ride into the Goats Trailer

    There comes a time in each of our lives where we have to make a change. Something that will alter our karma. Such is the case with a new movie coming out in which David Duchovny stars. One of the important facts about Goats trailer is that the music was done by me. So click in and sit back for an interesting ride about coming of age in a strange family.

    I had a hand in writing both songs. The first is known as Wired (co-written with Trudee Lunden), the second is tracked as Hidden Goat an instrumental track I was hired to create for the trailer.

    The really amazing thing is that this trailer was released quite recently during the Sundance Film Festival. To add more trivia to the pot, there’s already several “remixes” and repostings of the trailer around the web. That concludes my little report on facts about Goats.

    Enjoy!

    p.s. – if you’ve seen the movie, or do see the movie, let me know. I’ve yet to see it.
