Album release: Forsaken Themes From Fantastic Films, Vol. 1: Tears in Rain

It was a real pleasure working with Robin Esterhammer and Perseverance Records on this album titled Forsaken Themes From Fantastic Films, Vol. 1: Tears in Rain. Part of it is a new production of the unused film score for the 1987 horror film Hellraiser. Christopher Young wrote the brilliant soundtrack that ended up in the film. A band named Coil wrote a synth score prior which went unused. I transcribed it in excruciating detail, and Ryan Dodson produced it beautifully. It’s a substantial improvement over the 1987 synths, and Coil’s music might have made it into the film if it sounded like this back then!
