POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I turned in Stained Glass Eyes v1 on Dec. 19th, 2024, less than a month before the Eaton Fire, from which my family and I would flee for our lives. Looks like I turned in SGE demo v5b - the version we recorded and released - at the end of Feb. 2025, about six weeks after said fleeing. As I've relayed in a couple interviews now, Stained Glass Eyes was an assignment from Rolin ("we need a Claudia song to break Lestat open in Ep 305"), and my v1 demo wasn't what Rolin had in mind for the scene. My from-the-ground-up redo v2 ended up sounding to me like a reject from the Lestat Broadway show. The third almost complete reimagining was the right song for the episode, and some tempo and lyrical tweaks got us the extra versions.

So the song was written over about 3 months - by far the longest amount of time I spent writing any TVL song. I'm sure the fires slowed me down. Conversely, at the beginning of 2025, I was more intimately acquainted with the dangers and losses of everything burning away than I'd ever been. It is a song about one of the deepest forms of loss (loss of a child), and a song about being haunted by the ghosts of your mistakes, and haunted by your suppressed yet unrelenting grief.

Lyrically speaking, the title of the song came to me first, and it was always going to be called Stained Glass Eyes. One of my favorite things about growing up in an Episcopal church was all the stained glass. Even now, I find it remarkably beautiful, full of magic and meaning, which I try to hold with reverence. To describe Claudia's eyes with that same reverence, and find the beauty in her final stare at Lestat, as she was burning away...I felt like I'd peeled back some layers with that title, and it helped me get down to the core of what the song needed to be, and say.

The Loneliness is a song I wrote in the fall of 2024, about a month into the writer's room for The Vampire Lestat. I had already written multiple other songs for the show, and I was getting a handle on what our Lestat wanted to say musically this season. But The Loneliness is the first time I felt like I had found something new: something that wasn't paying direct tribute to a pre-existing artist or three, and something that Lestat wanted to say about his existence that perhaps hadn't been said in this particular way before. As I've recounted in interviews, when I sent the demo to Rolin Jones, he sent me a cake with the word "Loneliness!" written in icing across the top. So it was a musical turning point for him as well. And The Loneliness v1 is the version we recorded and put out into the world.

I've been writing songs for over thirty years now. The songs I wrote in my teens aren't catalogued anywhere, and I'm grateful for that. I don't really like the songs I wrote in my 20s, either. I don't like the way my voice sounds, and I find a lot of the lyrics to be superficial examinations of deeper experiences and emotions, at best. In my 30s, I started to find a singing voice I liked more, and I learned stuff about recording and production that I still use today. But I labored over lyrics, and for the most part, I had a very hard time expressing myself in ways I found satisfyingly honest then and now.

I don't think many people get as many lives as I've gotten as a songwriter: to be given the chance to mature and improve over decades, to fail and fail and fail and fail on the way to finding something that feels real. It's strange to me that it took a fictional vampire to get me there, but I'm very proud of The Loneliness, and I feel very lucky, and grateful. What are the chances I'll listen to The Loneliness in 20 years and despise it? I hope I don't. Thank you for listening to it.

@thelegendofochi from @a24 is out in theaters everywhere this week!

So much love and creativity went into every aspect of this film, my god. I love this story, the world and the characters so much. I hope you enjoy it!

Working on the score with my dude @davidlongstreth was an absolutely wild ride. So many versions of this film were worked on over many years. It is easily the most vast, in-depth, intricately complex project I’ve ever been involved in.

The soundtrack version has a special stereo mix and was beautifully mastered by @rareear. There’s a bonus new @dirtyprojectors tune included that I love. It is the first release on the new @a24music label and is available as 2X LP gatefold vinyl. Pre-order now www.shop.a24films.com

Massive respect to @jodielandau and all the incredible musicians who performed on this (especially @asoppsfables and @radunec).

Huge shoutout to Brent from @unbridledsound for nailing the film mix on this - no small task! Lots of sound design, huge music and hushed dialogue. I’ve seen it in a few theaters and it sounds great everywhere.

Big love and my most sincere congrats to my dear friends #isaiahsaxon and @mearao for making this 10+ year dream a reality.

First weekend box office numbers are super important for the life of a film. If you’re considering seeing it, do it! This movie (and mix) is 1000% made for the theater experience.

I’ve been going to the Mix Sound for Film event for 10 years now and it was cool to have some of my Atmos mixes included this year to demonstrate the speakers I am lucky to get to work on at @electricearstudio — the Meyer Bluehorns. #MSFF

“Altered” by @superposition.world is out now! Their music works brilliantly in Dolby Atmos, and it was cool to experience the immersive mix @electricearstudio and I worked on presented in a theater with a blindfolded audience. It is a unique experience to enjoy however you get your music!
