Now that school is back in session, yours portly isn’t making it out to open mic night much, so I’m doing what I do best: mining the rich veins of my old, neglected works.
This week I’d like to share “Minuet for a New Moon,” which I composed on 9 February 2022 as part of Péchés d’âge moyen, the highly unpopular collection of lo-fi solo piano pieces I released largely as part of an inside Internet joke.
Spooky Season II: Rise of the Cryptids, which released with a Bigfoot-sized thud last Friday on Bandcamp, is out on all streaming services today, Friday, 13 October 2023.
Readers should be able to find the album in the following places:
Happy Listening!

The Roman numeral “L” means “fifty,” which means I’ve been writing these Open Mic Adventures posts for nearly a year now. It also means I couldn’t pass up the alliterative opportunity to have the Lth edition feature “Lament of the Lizardman,” which will appear on my next album, Spooky Season II: Rise of the Cryptids, due out on Bandcamp this Friday, 6 October 2023, and on all streaming services one week later, Friday the 13th (mwahahahaha!).
For those that don’t know, the Lizardman of Lee County is a local cryptid here in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. He is most strongly associated with Bishopville, South Carolina, which is a mere twenty-minute drive from my place.
