This is — at the same time — one of the best music videos and video game commercials produced by humanity.

A haunting mix of songs and sounds intended to invoke the feelings floating around your mind while thinking about those who have left this mortal plane.

The song you’re hearing is “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka as performed by Fiona Apple. After you see it, you’ll understand why everyone sold out to such a worthwhile video.

“I was waiting for you all my life.”

This is what happens when you put a bottle of awesomesauce in a microwave oven for too long. I knew nothing about this game when I saw this trailer, but now I have this intense urge to play it. I think a lot of it has to do with the music. And here’s the official […]

I’ll have this groovy tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I realize I’m behind the times for just discovering these guys, but what can I say? I’m not a hipster.

This is mind-numbingly geeky (and I probably shouldn’t share it publicly), but I really think growing up as a musician and a video gamer is why I enjoy switching between PCs and Macs all day. Specifically, because I use keyboard shortcuts the whole time I’m working, and the differences between PCs and Macs are subtle-but-distinct. […]

The music is José González’s version of “Teardrop” by Massive Attack. The video is nature’s version of a massive storm attacking the field in front of me. It’s mostly dark, but there are moments of brilliant lightning. This was filmed on an iPad, so it’s not as high quality as it should be. But hopefully, […]

I first started doing Jenni’s website back when she was just a girl and her guitar at coffee shops. I enjoyed her music and her company, so I felt compelled to help her with her online presence. Years later, when she was gearing up to record her first album with a full band, I felt […]

This thing was so adorable and annoying that I had to share it with the whole world. You won’t be able to get the song out of your head.

The first time I heard this song it was because a friend of my girlfriend introduced us to it, and at the time they both said that they would do this to any pedophile. A year later, we found out that their friend (and the father of my girlfriend’s children) was an incestuous pedophile, but […]

This is an evolving collection of songs from across the world that embody the spirit of Gaian philosophy. It was mixed together to provide a constant stream of unifying, uplifting, and empowering music. The order in which these songs appear will change as new ones are added and old ones are removed. Not every song […]

“Everyone needs someone to stand by them.” This video is the very essence of Gaian. It starts out simply enough with one man and a guitar, but it slowly and steadily grows into a multicultural expression of humanism and solidarity. It’s one of the most uplifting things you’ll ever see, and it’s worth sharing with […]

What happens when you mix art, poetry, music, science, philosophy, and genius? This video. Easily one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen. I haven’t felt this numinous since I first read Cosmos. I can’t thank the author of this video enough, and I look forward to enjoying more like it. If you only watch […]

Part 1. “WHITE LANDS OF EMPATHICA” The end. The songwriter’s dead. The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of Empathica Of Innocence Empathica Innocence Part 2. “HOME” The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell One last perfect verse Is still […]

Here’s a project I have spent quite some time working on, but not nearly as much time as Dream Theater spent creating the music that went into it. This is a complete album of the nearly two decades of DT’s career. It starts with an intro that includes all of their albums, ends with an […]

This is a suite of four songs that I mixed together after I realized that they are parts of a larger body of work that Dream Theater is actively working on. Each song is from a different album and will likely be performed as a single piece of music once they have put it all […]

So, it occurred to me recently that there are four different versions of the same song that I had on my computer, but it’s not immediately obvious that this is the case. I just thought it was so weird that I wanted to share it. And, besides…I wanted to share my remix anyway. A Perfect […]

This is a piece that I mixed together when I first discovered Cool Edit Pro (which is now called Adobe Audition). It’s a wacky remix/homage/compilation thing that is made of the intense and instrumental moments from Dream Theater’s first few albums. I would like to make another one, but there are twice as many albums […]
