Hello friends! Here is the 2nd Early Access Choice Video! This is a snippet of the cut song "Belong to You" from Calypso in Act 2 as well an explanation as to why it was cut! This song eventually got replaced by Not Sorry For Loving You.

Here's part 3 of the Early Access Videos on the casting process! In this video, I answer your questions about how we approach characters played by actors who don't identify as the same gender, and I talk about character chemistry in auditions.

Hello my friends! This month's early access video is a snippet from Song 8: Remember Them!
After suffering HEAVY losses in their battle against the cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus must boost his comrades' morale (as well as his own) and make a plan quickly before the Cyclops wakes up.
Something in EPIC I haven't talked about too much is the set of burdens that come with leadership. Ody...

Hello friends!!!
Because of where we are in the EPIC process right now, I'm no longer in the situation where I'm constantly writing, orchestrating, and recording demos for songs, and so I will be replacing the current Monster Tier livestream perk starting in October.
In its place, I am introducing a new perk: on top of the Mortal Tier early access video, the Monster...

Hello friends! For this month's exclusive livestream, I'll walk you through the process of how I record my personal demos!!! It just so happens that I have yet to record the demo for song 8: Remember Them. These demos are what I send to the voice actors so that they are able to learn their parts of the songs! I'll walk you through how I record my voice as Odysseus, the soldiers, the cyclops, et...

Hello friends! This month's early access video is a breakdown of Odysseus's music in Done For! I really enjoy this song because it just screams BOSS BATTLE and it's one of the few times we see Odysseus getting to use magic, which means I get to make his music a liiiiitle bit more electronic. :)
I did my best to make each song have details like these so that the musical language of m...

Hello friends! Here's the livestream playback from last month's stream! We added some fine-tuning to the orchestration in Ruthlessness, Remember Them, and more!
My apologies for the delay, my Vimeo has been acting weird with uploads.

WE ARE SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THE EPIC WRITING PROCESS!!! Tomorrow I'm going to be adding some orchestration final touches to songs like Ruthlessness, Remember Them, and more, and I'll see if I can finish any lyrics I'm still missing!!!

HELLO FRIENDS! This month's snippet is from Verse 2 of Song 8, Storm! This song occurs right after the Cyclops Saga as Odysseus and his crew sail home towards Ithaca but are halted by a divine storm. This second verse is a lot of fun because we hear the Acoustic Strummed Steel Stringed Guitar, which I often associate with Odysseus's pride, along with his classic cunning Electric Guitar. We even...

Hello friends! Here is the livestream playback for the Working on Song 8 stream from yesterday. Thanks everyone for the great time! We talked about the specificity of each line helps us understand Odysseus's thought process, and how maintaining consistency in the musical language serves the story!

Hello friends! This month's livestream will be on song 8! In this song, Odysseus and his surviving soldiers outsmart the cyclops and escape his clutches, but not before Odysseus makes some life-changing decisions.
Just a heads up, my work-setup is a bit more improvised at the moment because I'm currently in LA, but I will do my best to make sure y'all are still able to hear/see everything...

Hello friends! Here's Odysseus's response to Athena in My Goodbye. What I love a lot about this song is the big difference in instrumentation between Athena's and Odysseus's verses. Athena's verse relies more on piano and introduces the clock beat as well as the marching snare, whereas Odysseus's mixes acoustic and electric guitar as he goes from small moments of vulnerability to retal...

HERE'S THIS MONTH'S EARLY ACCESS VIDEO! In this snippet, the battle between Odysseus + crew. and the cyclops, Polyphemus, continues!
One of my favorite things to write in EPIC is Odysseus's battle tactics. It's so fun to see his mind in action as he figures out his opponents and develops strategies in songs like this one, The Horse and the Infant, Charybdis, etc. This is also the first

For this month's exclusive livestream, I'll be working on the cyclops's song! The cyclops saga is proving to be one of if not the most difficult saga to write in EPIC. This song has to juggle MANY plot points and details while also giving us a sense of Polyphemus's attitude, and foreshadowing events that happen in songs 7-9. On top of that, it's a CYCLOPS singing.

Here's the early access snippet for this month! This is the first verse and chorus from Athena's "My Goodbye." After Odysseus stands his ground with his own philosophical beliefs against Athena's during the battle with the cyclops, Athena decides he is no longer worthy of being the Warrior of the Mind.
The actual key of this song is 3 semitones higher than the key in this video! If you wa...

Throughout Act 1, Odysseus suffers many losses. We see him make an impossible choice in Troy. We see the cyclops kill several of his men. We see Poseidon decimate his entire fleet as they cry out for their captain in vein. We see Odysseus battle a witch, only to learn that his final hope of getting home lies within the knowledge of a prophet in the Underworld. After he sails through the Underwo...

Here's the playback of yesterday's livestream! I'm really excited with how Storm is coming out! This re-write means a lot to me as the Draft 1 version (which was in 4/4 and 110bpm rather than 7/8 and 160bpm) was my least favorite song in EPIC!

This song shows Polites's stance in relation to the show's theme of ruthlessness, while developing the friendship between Polites and Odysseus! It also gives me a chance to have some fun with the Lotus Eaters. :)
