ABOUT

I'm a professional composer and producer, well versed in fields of Dark Fantasy Electro, EDM, Industrial Rock, Acoustic Folk, and film scoring.

My songs are featured on shows like iZombie and Veronica Mars (Warner Bros.), Wrestling Programs (TNA, ResistancePro), and A State of Trance (Armin Van Buuren). I've composed for Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, and worked alongside trance divas like Kirsty Hawkshaw and Christina Novelli. I also produce and mix for folk gems like the Karlyn Hartman and Weary Friend.

Are we a good fit?

I'm looking for fellow artists and vocalists for mutual inspiration and collaboration on new projects. Its good to get out of your comfort zone and see what can happen creatively when you work with someone you did not initially think of...

I'm also looking for work-for-hire talent in my next album "Carnivale" - which will be a blend of dubstep, big room, metal, orchestral, and folk - all connected together in the style of a musical.

Death at Dawn
Death at DawnLYRICS: I am defiled and darkened still From the way of the fire. And the wrath of Him who Wants my soul Sends me back to the grave In the cold. Tired of death, and I'm tired of sin. But I can’t shake the taste Of blood and her skin. She’s All I have. But I know it only lasts For a moment. For a moment. You own the night, and the sudden storm To the fallen ones Who usurp your throne In vanity. You keep us far outside Of your city. Take me back, I don’t wanna be Anymore apart Of this cruelty. I’ll wait outside To change or perish in the light. In a moment In a moment. My heart was dark And no life was left. My cursed flesh went on While my spirit laid to rest. Then you brought the sun And you gave me breath. My fallen body burned to ash. But you raised me from that death In a moment. In a moment.
Bad Kitty
Bad KittyRemember the grittiness from Nine Inch Nails' Broken album? Something about that old guitar sound inspired a 90s industrial flavor in this piece. 🙌 LYRICS: She's dead. Lying burned therein. Atrocities inside her sin. Deny the Holy One her state. The wrath of God builds up her fate. The glorious ones provide the test. Your arguments are weak at best. Behold your spirit thins before The judgment throne like a filthy whore. Oh, oh, oh, bad kitty No, no, no, bad kitty. Filled with pain and sorrow in. Rejection leads to further sin. The secrets are indeed divine Trampled by the pagan swine. All of you will turn away; No resurrection in his name Disregarding all I've said, Now cast in fire and darkest pit! Oh, bad kitty, Taste the honey on your tongue. Oh, kitty, Feel the lemon in your gut.
Omen
OmenI resurrected a long lost track during from days I worked on Chasm. It was in "the vault" as I call it (an older computer just sitting around). Since I finally was able to finish the story, it was neat to add some vocals and other finishing touches to make this track come alive! LYRICS: It’s taking me down, and pulling me underneath I’ve entered into the darkest days that I’ve ever seen. They cut my spirit right down to the bone - Left my carcass out, in the dark, all alone! I turned my gaze to the east Forsaking the power of the cross and the way of release. I chose for me a bride − Turned her to the night after she died! I failed to find any sign from above. I was choking it down like his rage was a drug, But games don’t last for long in hell. The devil came like a flood to put me under her spell! So I left you for the city lights And cursed the ground i came from the grave! And your vampire eyes Are starving for a sign of my return But the only sign is sunlight And its going to burn. Your heart is still firm against my knife. So I left you for the city lights And cursed the lie that made us Into creatures so depraved. Oh I left you for the city lights And cursed the ground I came from Where they formed me from the grave And the prince of the skies. And your vampire eyes Are starving for a sign of my return But the only sign is sunlight And its going to burn.
Rage Into Blindness (Immortal Mix)
Rage Into Blindness (Immortal Mix)The original was more of a classic industrial dance with hints of Metal. This time, I put the terror back in EMB, cranked the volume to 11 on the guitars 😇 Teamed up with LeeLoo for the vocals! This girl can SCREAM! LYRICS: Wait, I'm not that strong, I'm too diseased, And i'm left shambled on my knees. I don't think they thought this through, And now it's down to just one thing. I am wretched! (Lies) I'm torn away inside Among the ruins of my dreams; My perfect little world is dead! There's nowhere left to hide, In the dark it seems the view is better than it really is! (In this holocaust of stains) I thought i had it all. I'm often left alone with broken toys and blood spilled on the floor. (Sick) Reduced to a crawl, In this hell it seems the pain is better than it really is. (Dead) Now everything is gone. I believed in what was said. Now everything went wrong. (Release me!) And the skin begins to fade So i have nothing else but broken bones, Decaying in these chains! I am wretched And complicated And I can't get through Anymore! Spilling out a flood of my neverending doom from my throne in the darkness that is sinking in the room. I am wretched And complicated And I can't get through. You think that I am wretched And complicated And I can't get through Anymore!
Letters to the Lost
Letters to the LostI found myself channeling our old industrial roots. Somewhere in between Stabbing Westward and Enigma, I found my secret place. Trying to marry the aether to some sort of decrepit factory. I reached out to Alicia Perrone to help narrate the voice ofOmen (the female vampire in the story). I asked her to give Omen a blend of "sex kitten" and "jaded queen". I think she nailed it! What do you think? "We are the wild ones Far outside the city gates And the sins of our fathers before us Beget our eternal fate. For who can crush our immortal throne Or level these hearts made of stone?" I don't believe your silence. I don't believe your lies. You traded me for license To feed off other lives. But liars don't deceive me And hunters have no game. Your final day is coming Where you'll get what you deserve... For blaspheming my name! I'll subdue you in anyway − To the light or to the flame! "A tangled web of hate With my anger wired in Mesmerised by the glimmer Of my crown of sinking sin."
Deceived (Odyssey Mix)
Deceived (Odyssey Mix)Coven has finally arrived, and I'm so relieved to offer this Deceived remix, which so many of you were asking for! Enjoy 💜 LYRICS: ♞ I gave up looking long ago And washed away the dream With every passing day. I looked into the skies for hope, But i have nothing to show for it. I have nothing to show for it. Comon, i need a connection. Comon, let me inside. Pull back the fading darkness; A world screaming vacant lies. ♛ I felt the lightest touch In the corners of my mind. I slipped into a dream. I caught a glimpse of hope In the shadows of the night. credits
We Are The Ravens
We Are The Ravens👑 We are the Ravens (feat. Kris Lee)! This song is a curious hybrid between trap and industrial rock 😆 − I stumbled upon the two as I wrestled with the right soundscapes for an emotional argument. Story: I had a scene in my mind of the daywalker's final attempt to woo his beloved Omen to the light, knowing that this would be the last he would see her if she wouldn't run away with him. What ensued was a dramatic battle of the wits. The two argue back n' forth, trying to convince the other to turn to their side. Lyrics: ♞ Your wicked vows (Like a thief in the night) will take you all out, And you’re running out of time to flee these chamber walls, So cast away your crown (of lies) Back to the throne again, yeah or Your ghost will haunt my memories instead... Still I alone will serve the daylight. So throw your sin to the darkness Or go to your death. ♛ What’s this? I don’t understand How you fell from your grave to the promised land? And all those things you want from me… Huh! They’re not gonna be! ♞ Run away with me. ♛ Oh hun, I’m a child of the night. ♞ Your skin is lost in darkness. ♛ So what? You want me, yeah so… Take me as I am or run along home to the light. ♞ I am your kind, but I’m not dead. I wanna turn your filth into a heart of flesh. ♛ But you were mine! And I won’t repent! ♞ Drink the savior’s blood and never feed again. ♛ Hold your tongue. Have you forgotten we’re the wild ones? And I want you to know I can’t believe in you, So stop pretending, come back, hun… To the throne again, yeah so... Before you take that tone with me, instead... Remember where you came from. Keep your guilt to yourself and outta my head. ♞ What guilt? I thought you couldn’t believe In a law outside your own decree. ♛ Hush baby, I’m not backing down. ♞ Your “eternity” is dead at dawn. When the sun comes up, you’ll be gone. ♛ You’re wrong. You’ll see, we are the ravens! ♞ Yeah, well ravens bleed. I am your kind, but I’m not dead. I wanna turn this stone into a heart of flesh...
Lost in You (feat. Jennifer Lauren)
Lost in You (feat. Jennifer Lauren)Classic Uplifting Trance piece that Jennifer Lauren and I made together. <3 Written by Delta-S and Jennifer Lauren Produced by Delta-S Mastered by Brian Hazard
Does Love Come Here?
Does Love Come Here?A moody melancholy ballad that came to me while pondering the day my birth mom gave me away - a devastatingly sad day for her, and a euphoric and hopeful day for my adoptive parents. The swelling into the beat at the end represents God's hope for us when things seems bleak. He will redeem all things at the end. 12th track on my latest album "The Mortal Veil". Listen to the full album here: delta-s.bandcamp.com/album/the-mortal-veil
Panic
PanicThis piece was one of my longer pieces I worked on for the latest album - containing a lot of different elements from genres that don't normally dance together. Hopefully you'll agree that this worked out quite well! Let me know. 9th track on my latest album "The Mortal Veil". Listen to the full album here: delta-s.bandcamp.com/album/the-mortal-veil
Wings of Hope (feat. Genevieve)
Wings of Hope (feat. Genevieve)This is a special song, born out of an experience of finding my birth mother. Here she is, lending her talented voice in this trance inspired piece. We had a blast singing and creating together. Hope you enjoy! 5th track on my latest album "The Mortal Veil". Listen to the full album here: https://delta-s.bandcamp.com/album/the-mortal-veil
Venez Avec Moi
Venez Avec MoiTrack 1 from "The Mortal Veil". I spent great care with this track, mostly because i wanted to get all the articulations and movement perfect on the instrumentation and orchestral elements. I think it all came together wonderfully in the end. I like listening with my headphones and getting transported away to another world.

Vertigo
VertigoTrack 10 from "The Mortal Veil", the third album by Delta-S. This was a very personal track for me that took about 3 years to complete. I started the project before I found my birth mother, and completed it after I met her and my whole "new" family. It was an incredibly emotional, trying, and rewarding experience. This song explores my primal wounds of abandonment of losing my birth mom, and how its impacted my sense of being different.
