Music

Music has been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember, so it’s not unusual that a good chunk of my website deals with music. Here are the highlights:

Series:

You may also be interested to read my five-part, in-depth series titled What We Talk About When We Talk About Music, which deals with the question of what art music is, why and how it is different from what comes to mind for most people at the mention of “music,” and why it matters.

Musical Fiction:

Also possibly of interest, I have written several pieces of fiction related to music (and have more in the pipeline). Below are links to my writeup and notes about each story, including where you can get your hands on it to read it:

Film Music:

Finally, my wife has several times press-ganged me into service as soundtrack/score composer for all the films so far produced by her company, Brutal Rice Productions.

One particularly music-heavy project I scored was Brutal Rice’s award-winning 2012 film “The Music of Jo Hyeja,” which was South Korea’s first Lovecraftian film (and the first South Korean adaptation of a Lovecraft story–“The Music of Erich Zann”). The score features the traditional Korean instrument called the “haegeum” in place of Zann’s creepy violin.
