Discography 15: And Then the Night Forgot Us

                Title: And Then the Night Forgot Us Year: 2012 Personnel: I did most of the writing and arranging, but the lovely Bekka Wrynn assisted me with the production and supplied some excellent vocals on “I Cannot Follow.” Analysis: When I first started writing these tracks, I had [...]

Experiment: JRG Music Factory -

A while back I was showing my fiancee (Hi Bekka!) a bunch of unfinished things I had laying around and I cued this jam up. I had intended it to be the “b-side” of “Make it Go (Beep Beep)”, but I never really got around to finishing it, so it never got posted. Anyway, the [...]

Even though scores of sequels and imitations have tried to sour me on it, Halloween is still my favorite movie. A lot of that has to do with the score: it’s simple, repetitive and completely effective.  Hear it once and it will start playing in your head anytime a situation presents an unknown quantity of [...]

Experiment -

Like a lot of songs I write, the demo for this one consists of two acoustic guitars and nothing more (well, actually, I think a third guitar shows up somewhere, but that’s not the point). I had planned on using that demo to start another “Faust”-like album, but it felt too much like repeating myself, [...]

Experiment -

Leading up to Under Dead Stars, I cut demos for about 19 songs, most of which deserve to stay in the demo stage. Amongst that wreckage was the main riff for this track, which I decided to resurrect in the hopes that I will now stop playing it when I’m trying to come up with [...]

Cover -

  This is a quick and dirty arrangement/recording, but I suppose that’s what makes it a fitting tribute. Click to listen, right click to save. “Pomp and Circumstance (Funeral March)” I promise that the next thing I post will be a fully produced, original All Hallow’s Evil song.

Black Sabbath -

This entry is a little wordy, so I’m going to break format and put the mp3 first. Click to listen, right click to save: Time Machine Truth be told, I find the idea of mourning celebrity deaths to be a little silly. I suppose it’s great that some people are empathetic enough to mourn the [...]

Covers -

  Year recorded: 2010 Tim Burton’s Batman was a pretty big moment in my life. It feels a little strange for me to refer to a massively marketed summer blockbuster as a big moment in my life, but anything else would be a lie. But I was 6 at the time, so what more would [...]

Acoustic 2: Faustian Suite

The demo for This Faustian Flesh consists of three acoustic guitar tracks and a click, so the idea of trying to rearrange it back to an all acoustic format has been floating around for a while. I finally gave it a shot one day and found out that sometimes you really can’t go home again. [...]

Experiment:

When it came time to build this site, I somehow decided that it would be a great idea to remaster some of the older All Hallow’s Evil recordings, assuming that you could ever call them “mastered” in the first place. I was not quite prepared for exactly how painful that process was. I’ve recorded a [...]
