22. Trans. Here to chill.
There are few things as gorgeous as "Memory of Lightwaves" from the Final Fantasy X-2 OST. I've heard plenty of arrangements and covers of this song and they are all mostly great. Here's a lovely one to check out! #MusicSky #Music #FinalFantasy #Orchestra

"Become River", performed by the Seattle Symphony isn't well received. It does have a harsh introduction. However, when it gets going, it's absolutely gorgeous. To me, it invokes daylight after emerging from burial. Check it! #MusicSky #Orchestra #NowPlaying

This isn't my usual style, but God, I love this song. It has a very interesting backstory worth a check if you have a mind. This is "Taro" by alt-J. #Music #MusicSky #NowPlaying

This is "Dark Dungeon Music: The Unlikely Story of Dungeon Synth", a book by Jordan Whiteman. This is an excellent book on a genre that has flew happily under the radar. Check this one out! #BookSky #Books #DungeonSynth #MedievalSynth

"Safehouse" by Ola Strandh from The Division OST is such an interesting piece. It stays very consistent throughout and brings about a particular mood of both safety and melancholy. Love it! #MusicSky #NowPlaying #Music #OST

"Melancholia" is one of my favorite movies. It's beautifully shot, somber, and very interesting. This one gets under my skin, and it has great performances all around! #Film #FilmSky #Movies 🎬📽️

My favorite four horror movies are - I think:

1. The Blackcoat's Daughter
2. Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 78
3. Black Mountain Side
4. Tremors

"The Triangle" (2016) is the type of found footage I have a soft spot for. It's a cosmic, psychological, slow burn horror. The effort seems to be quite obscure as well. It's worth a shot for those warm to the genre! #Horror #FoundFootage 🎬👻

When I was laid up in the bed covered head to tippy toe with chickenpox, mom would read to me from "The Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe" between oatmeal baths. I was so enamored with "The Bells" and "The Masque of the Red Death". Great memory! #BookSky #Books #Poetry 📚

I hope I turn at least one of the uninitiated on to the genre of dungeon synth today. If you're interested, check out this wonderful collection of compositions by Tales Under the Oak. Birth of the Toad King and Ancient Wisdom of the Swamps are my favs. #MusicSky #Music

If you're into ambient compositions, this piece by Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse in "Dark Valve" is really moody. I love the background subtleties that this one offers. Earbuds/headphones mandatory. The edge cuts deeply. #MusicSky #Music #Ambient #Beauty

"History of the Insipid" is some of the most beautiful composition I've ever heard. It's from "The Libertine" score by Michael Nyman. Gorgeous! #MusicSky #Music #Beauty

"The Unaccounted" by Hampus Naeselius is something that you didn't know you needed today. This is easy on the soul. I almost hear Michael Nyman's "The Libertine" score in places throughout the sound. Beautiful piece. Enjoy! #MusicSky #Music #Beauty

I absolutely love Philip K. Dick's "Second Variety" sci-fi short story. It inspired a movie called "Screamers", which I honestly loved as a kid. I thought movie Becker was cooler than cool. Anyway, worth a read and potentially a watch! #booksky 📚 🎬

If you'd like something visually captivating, eerie, and plain fun to flip though, check out "The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black." It's an illustrated fictional anatomy book of mythological creatures seen through the lens of 19th-century science. #booksky 📚

"A Dark Song" is a 2016 indie horror film. The movie explores occult ritualism that is heavy in atmosphere and spirit. It's a small cast and production that's definitely worth a watch! #Horror #HorrorSky 👻🎬

"You Won't Be Alone" 2022, is a 19th-century period production, steeped in folkloric witchcraft. It's quite interesting! #Horror #HorrorSky

I really liked this one. Slow burn. It flew mostly under the radar and has a very eerie vibe straight through. #Horror #Horrorsky
