New 8-Bit Blog...

Hey y'all. So, I finally went through with it and made a separate blog for all of my 8-bit cues. It's awesomely titled:
"Doctor 8-bit - OR: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The 80s"

So, go check it out and drop some comments!

8-bit Hawaii Five-O Theme!

Got another 8-bit cue for y'all! I'm a little sick and just felt like popping out another 8-bit cue. Also, check out the A-Team, Magnum, p.i. and Human Target titles I did in 8-bit as well if you haven't already.

I've got a couple more up my sleeves that I'll be working on shortly. I've been challenged to do a more difficult song than these past ones that have a clear melody and no lyrics.

So...we'll see what the future holds. In the mean time, enjoy...

Hawaii Five-O (8-Bit)

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to check in and say Merry Christmas to everyone. This is a song I wrote last year, called "Carol of the Bear." It's a rendition of Carol of the Bells with themes from Battlestar Galactica woven in. Hope you like it!

Y: The Last Theme

Hey y'all! I know I've been absent for quite a while now, but I'm back ... temporarily. I just recently wrote a song and I figured I'd throw it up while I can. I'm about to be real busy for the next two weeks and then (hopefully) I will be moving into a house (which will be another butt load of busy!).

I'm hoping to write things here and there whenever I have free time, but just as a warning, this blog might remain cold for another couple of weeks!

Now for this song! I was kind of in a rut and couldn't come up with anything to write. My lovely wife suggested I write music FOR something. She told me to either score something that doesn't have score (i.e. The Office) or come up with a theme to something.

So I did the latter! I wrote what I thought would be a nice theme for Y: The Last Man if they turned that into a television series. For those of you who don't know what it's about, GO READ IT! But in case you don't want to read it, it's a story about every man in the world dying off, except for the hero of the story, named Yorick.

Enjoy...

Human Target

Hey guys! So, recently I bought the soundtrack to Human Target, done by none other than Bear McCreary, and have been listening to it nonstop. Unfortunately, listening to a score as much as I have with Human Target means it creeps into my composing. Every time I sit down to write some music that über catchy theme jumps in there somewhere.

STOP. DELETE. START OVER.

So, in order to (hopefully) get it out of my head, I decided to do an 8-bit version of the main title theme. I don't know if it worked (I'll find out tonight) but here it is for your listening enjoyment. I've also included the video of the main title above for reference for those of you who don't know. But honestly, you need to buy the soundtrack regardless if you watch the show or not. Trust me. Check out Bear's Blog about the soundtrack and see for yourself!

Also, check out the A-Team and Magnum, p.i. titles I did in 8-bit as well if you haven't already.


Human Target

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Hey guys! So, as you can see I haven't written a blog post in a while. I've actually been pretty busy, both with editing work and music. I'm currently working on a project with Eric Peters and I'm also trying to start an album some time in the near future. It would be an instrumental story line, inspired by events in my life. I haven't worked out how I'm going to do it (both time wise and style wise) but it's definitely in the works.

What do you say? Anybody down to get a Trevor McLean album? I know I am! And probably my mom. And maybe my dad. That's probably the end of that list! We'll see...

The Challenge: Cutthroat Teaser - Part 2

Hey there again! So, there's another teaser for the next season of The Challenge up and I wrote the music for that one as well. Let me know what you think.
