About the Album

Long Held Grudges (2022) is a compilation of soundtrack pieces & music beds. Most tracks are pre-existing material, either used as is in film or web projects, or modified for reuse in the future (tracks 1, 2 & 6). Track 5 is entirely new. All tracks were created under my production team name, The Drop.

The title has kind of a double meaning.

1. It refers to the fact that most of these tracks are several years old, and released only as part of film or web projects. This is music I held onto, begrudgingly hoping it would be heard by a wider audience, and realized after some recent events that I had to be the one to let it go.

2. It also alludes to some of the relationships I forged because of this music, most of which generated some kind of bad blood. Some of these relationships ended badly, some came to a quietly positive but distinctly altered state, and others have never been fully resolved. Like with sharing the music, I realized it's up to me to let go.
