    paper Voice of Gunslinger in Audiobook - Composer and Voice Actor

    In 2023-2024 I worked with Felipe Cagno, the creator of The Few & Cursed comic book series, as the voice of his main character Red. We created a record to be listened to on vinyl while reading the comic book or playing the board game also in the comic book’s post-apocalypic Wild West world. I collaborated with my father, Chris Desmond, on writing and producing the pop soundtrack with other artists such as Brutus VIII, Cole Brossus, Seamus Guy and Pierre.
    The kickstarter video explaining the now fulfilled project is here: https://www.twine.net/signin
    The vinyl with the audiobook and pop soundtrack has yet to be released due to vinyl production demand, so both are available digitally upon request.

    paper Composer for Dance Play of Edgar Allen Poe's Murder

    From summer 2021 through spring 2022, I collaborated and scored a play with heavy dance elements about Edgar Allen Poe’s potential killer. The True & Unquestionable Account Of Dr. Joseph Snodgrass was performed at The Player’s Club for 3 nights in May 2022.
    My process involved heavy input from the choreographer and script writer Ashley Marinelli, a broadway performer and history lover. I researched and composed music based off of the time period when Edgar Allen Poe and Joseph Snodgrass were alive in the North East of America, and recorded it all in my bedroom in Brooklyn using Logic Pro X, my violin, my voice, and Virtual Sound Libraries from Spitfire Audio.
    Excerpts of the life performance can be found at the play’s instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/josephsnodgrassplay/
    Excerpts of the rehearsal process can be found on Ashley Marinelli’s youtube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@HeeRaYoo/videos
