BUSTED | eXclusivOR 2.0

This is the first recording from eXclusivOR season two. I've used the eXclusivOR story so many times as a testing ground for the audio storytelling I've experimented with that it's difficult to keep...

PAIN | eXclusivOR 2.1

When I saw the "Hurt" Johnny Cash/Logan movie trailer I really liked it, and when I was writing this, it was just after the first recording when I was beaten by Fishburne. So, I decided I wanted...

LAWYER | eXclusivOR 2.2

I liked setting up Exclusivor as a badass here. This one turned out okay, but I positively cringe when I hear the beginning. It's just so dorky. It was... a party!! It was like a party broke out....

TICK TOCK | eXclusivOR 2.3

This is my favorite recording from this season. I just love the musical hook here, and the energy, and the snark. I'd like every third piece I produce to have this vibe, though I wouldn't want them...

LAIR | eXclusivOR 2.5

I played around with this alternative keyboard app on my phone called SoundPrism Pro and it's just really cool and easy to do piano or pad sounds. I connected the SPP to Cubasis. I think most of the...

BUGOUT | eXclusivOR 2.6

I think the music in this one is badass, but it lacks other sound design and I regret that. I kind of like the self-deprecating stuff here, and the middle-finger/birdman section. I needed to include...

INSANITY | eXclusivOR 7

I wanted to do a voice-duet here... I wanted to have the music underneath clearly describe who was speaking. Then I wouldn't have to say "then Exclusivor said", "I said"... etc. But, that didn't...

You've heard about this, right? I've heard people here in Wuhan compare life to playing a video game; every day is a mission. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Get food. Check on loved ones....

I am six years old. I wake up. It's Christmas morning! I jump out of bed, go to open my bedroom door, but it's locked. I can't get out. What the hell? Then I hear a buzzer. A voice over a loudspeaker...
