Albums:
Dead Channel
Music Inspired by William Gibson’s Neuromancer
Synth electro, techno ambient, and ’80s throwback. An unofficial soundtrack for William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.
A single release, composed and published after Antony realised it had been almost 3 years since his previous album (!) An atmospheric journey through space and synthesizers.
Released for Samhain 2021, a dark and sombre album of ghost whispers, blood-stained pianos, funeral bells, and neopagan ritual percussion.
Music to help focus when working from home. Composed, recorded, and released for free during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.
Harsh ambient. Each track is inspired by a single melody line from one song off each album by an undisclosed pop group.
edgeless: a sonic sleep experience
A five-hour odyssey of repetitive drone with slowly varying tempo, to aid sleep and restful waking.
Ruin Runner
A nom de guerre adopted for the Wasteland soundtrack
Wasteland, Antony's epic post-apocalyptic graphic novel series, is as much inspired by music as literature. His love of all things gothic and doom runs throughout the series, from visual inspiration to lyric references within the text.
This soundtrack was composed, recorded, and released one song at a time during the series' eight-year run of publication, and completed simultaneously with its ending at issue #60.
Now available as a full album, and the perfect audio companion to the series, it boasts an atmospheric combination of doom metal, aggressive guitars, and desolate gothic electronica. The full album purchase also includes two bonus tracks and a PDF booklet.
Waves of Mercury
An indie rock/doom band from Minnesota. Antony contributes lyrics and works with lead singer David Richardson on vocal arrangements
Listen to a sample track:
Albums:
A concept suite that moves through a reckoning of the seasons; a reminiscence and melancholia on nature, life, love, and death.
Another concept EP, this time with semi-acoustic instrumentation and a meditation on loss and the redemption of selfless love.
Themes & Jingles
These include the theme music to his podcasts Writing and Breathing, Thrash It Out, Unjustly Maligned, and the TL;DR gameshow; the book trailer music for Atomic Blonde/The Coldest City and The Coldest Winter; and, again for Thrash It Out, a full-length heavy metal song (complete with vocals!) to thank the show's Patreon supporters.
