D4Disgruntled - The Composer's Reel

Felt it was time to dust off some of my earlier works and revitalize them with the public. When I completed “Horror Re-Scored: Volvo. 2” (I rescored The Exorcist 3) and a month later I did this Single track in which I do a version of the classic (Exorcist) music that hasn’t been done yet. I made it sound like it’s coming from Hell itself and not a dance club (others do dance remixes). It is orchestrated in the same way the music is orchestrated for my album Horror Re-Scored Vol. 2....

Taking a quick break from composing my "Erehwon" sci-fi concept soundtrack album to enter this fun little composing contest sponsored by Ryan Leach who is a working composer for film , television and games. I follow his channel and have learned alot from his well done educational videos. We were given the photo featured in the video to which to use as inspriation to compose a 90 second piece of music. It will be judged on composition, relevance to the photo, and production value. ABOUT THE...

While at the CD Signing Event for "Masters of Horror" at Dark Delicacies this past weekend, I picked up something that caught my eye. Watch this short video to see what it was I got.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO Since completing my first official soundtrack score to an actual movie "Shadow Warrior", I had composed 3 tracks for submission to open call for music from the filmmakers producing "In Search Of Darkness 3". The music they were looking for from all submissions was to be inspired by 80s horror / Stranger Things-esque main titles. I was so happy with my 3 tracks that I decided to expand upon the musical themes and motifs and created a whole hour long album. The original 3...

In an effort to reach new audiences, I am expanding my social media prescence in other places. Like a Gremlin hit with water, I am multiplying and popping up in a variety of other "relevent" platforms.

shorts Straining the old grey noodle for ideas can get exhausting. But even while I may appear to be asleep, my mind is still at work in generating ideas for me to explore upon my awakening.

After a long day and or week of composing, the last thing I want to do is to switch gears from music making to video content making. I have to plan out what I want to say. Then I have to write the general script, set up the equipment, create graphics, and ultimately edit the final videos. One of the biggest issues with filming during the day was with noise pollution from outside the house as I live right by a busy street intersection. THis was a huge source of frustration while filming (as...

If you have creative blocks, get the f*ck up off your ass and go for a walk. Not aonly will it help you recharge, but it gets the blood flowing and the stimulation from being expopsed to something 180 from what you are doing will surprise you in getting those synapses to connect and fire.

Announcement regarding uploading a bunch of short videos containing music clips from the complete score to a film that doesn't exist - hence why it is a "concept soundtrack album". This 80s styled synth wave, john carpenter and Tangerine Dream inspired score tells the story about the attempt at resurrecting Werewolves. The album is composed as though it were an actual score to a horror film.

In this video track preview clip from my latest Concept Soundtrack Album "The Brotherin", the chase killing motif takes center stage with various ominous sounds pulsating and stabbing about before leading into a brief victorious moment for The Brotherin before retreating into a statement of the "mystical legend" motif. While this music does not go to any movie that exists, it is telling the beginning part of D4Disgruntled's story about the resurrecting of Werewolves through a pharmacuetical...
