Dies, Nox et Omnia – Technical Mumbojumbo!

by Josh Whelchel

Dies, Nox et Omnia (feat. Ryan C. Connelly and Danielle Messina) by Josh Whelchel Dies, Nox et Omnia Sheet Music (Voice only) This is something I wrote for the recent NiGHTS: Lucid Dreams album recently released by OCRemix.org. “Dies, Nox et Omnia” is an arrangement of “D’Force Master,” the theme of the wicked Wizeman from whom all nightmares are spun into being. One of the larger challenges I had with arranging this piece was the limited material I had to [...]

Cross-Continental Band!

by Josh Whelchel

So, it’s no secret, but the original idea of the band Poolside has long gone.  That’s why it’s time to get Ryan C. Connelly and Melinda Hershey the tools so we can create a new more powerful, MORE FANTASTIC effort.  The latest electronic work we’ve done together blows the Children of the Summer album out of the water, which is why I’m excited to do more work, and make it that much better. To do this, we’re going to have [...]

The good news is that there are two other pieces (one in each of these [...]

It’s ADVENTURE TIME! On June 22nd, Amanda and I will be flying ONE-WAY to San Francisco, California.  We’re both extremely excited to get to the bay, where we’ll be staying in a hostel while we apartment hunt for a week before she starts work at Eventbrite.  This week, in the meantime, has been filled with goodbyes and seeing places in our hometowns that we will definitely miss (read: Qdoba). To celebrate (and, yes, to help raise a little money), I’ve reprinted [...]

Some Electronic Jams!

by Josh Whelchel

There isn’t a single stringed instrument in this one, guys!  I made this because I’m thinking about getting a nice library of tracks to send to getty images and other music libraries etc. If you like this you should consider hiring me to score your next game or other project!  I just went full time!  (Gotta pay those bills, baby :D) (Also, my friend David Saulesco released a new track recorded by an awesome orchestra in his homeland, 8-Bit Bolero [...]
