Hello my friends!! Today I'll be working on one of the songs from the Cyclops Saga: Survive. In this song, the battle between Odysseus and crew versus the Cyclops begins! Depending on how much I get done with this song, I might also do some work on the new Act 1 Closer, Monster.

In the last few weeks I have been working on figuring out how to fix the first few songs in the show so that they better convey the musical style of EPIC. Here's what an updated version of the opening lines of the show could look like!
For those who don't know, I'm currently spending the next two weeks at Goodspeed Musicals in Connecticut, where I'm meeting with dramaturges and Broadway producers and getting feedback as I work on fixing Act 1. This song may very well be cut and re...

Here is the entire playback of my reaction to The Prince of Egypt! I really enjoyed this film, especially the portrayal of Rameses. The scene near the end where all the firstborns are taken will haunt me forever (a brilliant use of silence in an otherwise loud film).

Here's another snippet from The Suitors' song, Hold Them Down. Antinous and the suitors continue planning out something truly sinister. I feel icky singing Antinous's songs. XD

Here's the full video of yesterday's livestream! Since the stream, I've worked on slowing down the rate at which we get information so that we can spend more time sitting in the terror of facing Odysseus and the realization that he has prepared to kill the suitors.
2021-12-06 18:13:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! While usually each song of EPIC takes me a bit over a month to create, this month I am finding myself in a position where I will be working on both songs 38 and 39 within the same month! Because of that, I wanted to ask if you all would be interested in two 30-min livestreams this month (one for song 38, the other for song 39) rather than a singular 1 hour livestream for song 38? I've put a poll to see who is interested.
I'm aware that this is not the exact agreement you si...

THE FINAL BATTLE BEGINS!!! Join me as I write song 38 in a way that allows us to experience how terrifying Odysseus is firsthand!

Here's another snippet from Zeus's song, Thunder Bringer. Right before this song, Eurylochus and the crew make a grave mistake. Lyrically, Thunder Bringer is my favorite song in the show, and serves as one of EPIC's most climactic moments. :)

Here's yesterday's full livestream. We looked at my newest draft of song 37, aka The Suitors' evil song!
2021-11-14 16:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Last draft of Song 37 (the suitors' song) is scrapped because I didn't make the suitors out to be enough of a threat... so this time, we're switching gears, going all in, and making them absolutely heartless beings! Telemachus and Penelope are in trouble...
As usual, I'll host a Q&A right after working on the song! Ask whatever you want, as long as it is related to EPIC or songwriting! :D

Hello my friends! Here's another snippet from Hermes's "Dangerous" in EPIC: The Musical! This moment provides some nice levity as the events prior have taken a noticeable toll on Odysseus. Hermes's song allows us as the viewer to breathe and laugh for a bit while simultaneously moving the plot forward and setting us up for the big boss battle rush we're about to experience.

Hello patrons!!! Here is your October early access video! This one is a snippet of Little Wolf, when The Suitors attack Telemachus. Telemachus gets beaten up pretty harshly in this song, and it makes us hate the suitors even more.
In order for you to get the most value out of your membership, I ask that we don't share this video outside of Patreon before I release it on TikTok. I will be releasing this video to TikTok around the second week of the month. :)
