Originally aired on June 5, 2023.This week, I'm working on the coverart for the upcoming next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP, Once Upon a Dream. The AI art images I used as inspiration back in episode 406 were helpful in confirming the kind of look I was going for as well as the color scheme - mostly an 80s palate of hot pink, blues, purples, and the obligatory rainbow trail.At the time, I'd done a quick sketch using the ideas I had: See the pictures at:

Originally aired on May 22,2023.This week, I'm working on the coverart for the upcoming next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP, Once Upon a Dream. I've had ideas percolating for a number of years about what I wanted it to look like but as an experiment, I decided to see if one of the many AI art generators (in this case, a very cool, free app called Diffusitron) could provide additional inspiration. I'm fairly new to using these programs, and I would never call myself an early adopter of

Originally aired on May 8, 2023.This week, I'm working on the coverart for the track that I was working on in episode 402. The track itself is now done, and you can actually listen to it at the end of this episode or on Bandcamp. However, the picture to go with the track was not. I wanted it to be pixelart and decided to give a nod to some of the 80s and 90s films that influenced the story and themes in The Thirteenth Hour - films like Flight of the Navigator, The Last Starfighter, Back to

Originally aired on April 24, 2023.This week, I'm starting work on another music track that I've been meaning to make for a long time. There's this section of The Thirteenth Hour where the main character, Logan, who is shipwrecked and bereft of anything to help him on his mission, encounters a magical flying hoverboard he calls Lightning that he can communicate with that can play also play music as it flies.

Originally April 17, 2023.This week, I'm finishing the battle theme I started in episode 399. When that episode was done, I tweaked the theme a bit more but it just didn't feel finished. However, I couldn't put my finger on what it needed. I experimented with a few ideas, some in my mind, some digitally or on the keyboard ... but it never quite worked. Shortly before I recorded this episode, the muse finally came. I was inspired by imagery around the Armorer character in the Star

Originally aired on April 3, 2023.This week, I'm starting the process of creating a battle theme for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack LP. It will also serve as one of the pieces of music playing when there is a fight during the Thirteenth Hour mini DnD campaigns over on Patreon. During this episode, I experiment with a number of voicings as well as melodic parts added to an underlying driving bass/drum backing part. I was influenced by the 1984 Terminator theme done by Brad Feidel which

They're all quite short but since realizing that I can incorporate music in the the mini DnD Thirteenth Hour campaigns over on Patreon, these tracks will also serve another function as well - becoming the real time soundtrack to the gameplay.

Originally aired on November 7, 2022.This past week, I worked on finishing a track started back in Episode 364 accompanying a short segment from The Thirteenth Hour where Logan meets his crewmates again in a dream. When I finished the episode, I put it aside since it didn't quite feel done, but I couldn't put my finger on what it needed. I tossed around a number of ideas for a time, but it was not until recently that I hit on the right sound - the additional of a choral backing track and

Originally aired on August 15, 2022.This week, we’re doing two things - adding to a track we started in episode 364 and reading another segment from Dragon Fall by Lee J. Hindle. The track I'll be adding to is for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack album. It's an additional layer to complement what we did before. I also came up with a variation of it for another part of the book that uses the same central theme; just a different voicing. We will also be starting Chapter 2 of the 1984

Originally aired on August 1, 2022.This week, I'm making one last track for the next Thirteenth Hour soundtrack album. Just when I think it's done, I think of another track I want to make. I think that's because I really do think of all these tracks as accompaniments to various sections in the books. The nice thing about that is once you find a central theme (e.g. elements of The Thirteenth Hour theme is one), you can repeat and vary it throughout depending on the needs of the scene.

Originally aired on March 28, 2022.This week, I'm working on the last piece in the upcoming second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack. The track, called "Homecoming" is an incidental piece of music I made back in the summer but wasn't sure how to finish. But today, I'm wrapping it up by adding two additional layers - a short melody for the "verses" using a xylophone sound (to invoke the feeling of nostalgia/childhood) as well as a choral vocal overlay. The draft plays at

And as anyone who's ever had a muscle cramp can attest, the way around a cramp is not with more tension, it's relaxing into it - leaning in to the pain. In this episode,
