Originally aired on June 3, 2019.This week, I continue working on the last track on the last Empty Hands track, which is an ode to the ending themes of 80s action movies as well as the intros (and sometimes closings) of 80s Saturday morning / after school cartoon shows.Next week, stay tuned for episode 200!In the meantime, this page formerly had what I affectionately dubbed a "starving artist" section on little side hustles you could do (mostly on the internet, often with a phone) to make

Originally released May 27, 2019.This week, instead of focusing on "Many Miles," which I'm still working on, I thought I'd do a little intro to the last Empty Hands track, which is an ode to the ending themes of 80s action movies as well as the intros (and sometimes closings) of 80s Saturday morning / after school cartoon shows. In other words, its cheesy as hell, but in the right spirit, hopefully it will be fun. The lyrics hark back to the elemental philosophy discussed in the

Originally aired May 20, 2019.This week, I'm adding a synthesized accented track to the vocals and backing track of "Many Miles." Inching closer towards completion!I'm also basically done the instrumental melody of "Dragons' Eyes" as a short (~2 min) fill for Empty Hands, which has a little scene referencing the song. There's only one more track to be done for the soundtrack to be done.Speaking of which, for those of you on the mailing list, check your inboxes

Originally aired May 13, 2019.This week, I've finally come to the point of having a rough initial draft of "Many Miles" that I started a long time ago. It will play at the end of the episode. While still a work in progress, it's definitely farther along than last week. It's been a tedious process indeed to get it to this point.I've also included the second part of working on a long lost instrumental melody that would later become the folk ballad "Dragons'

I'm a little farther along than last week, but it's still slow going. Here's the first part.

Originally aired on March 18, 2019.This week, I'm finally finishing the last music track to accompany The Thirteenth Hour novella, Empty Hands, an introspective instrumental piece called "Memories of a Better Time." I thought last week would be it, but after having listened to the outcome, thought there was still something missing, so this week, we're adding a short whistled intro.The novella the song will be embedded in is basically done in terms of its initial skeleton, though

The last 2 weeks (eps 173 and 174), I slowed down the tempo and eliminated notes to get at what we have this week. These two IG posts show a little of the
