The Executioner by Ataraxia Music
With the idea almost complete, THE EXECUTIONER sat in my phone for over a year waiting for the right time to release it. I tried to release it early in summer 2025, but decided it would be better for later on in the year, like now, like October. Before finalizing it, I restructured the song, added some drum playing (toms and beats), and made room for my new rockin' Jackson Electric Guitar in the two heavy Choruses.
Capital punishment, either way you look at it, is a terrible thing. To be sentenced to Death Row, a person has to have committed the ultimate violent crimes. Compelling evidence suggests that multiple people have been wrongly put to death. It’s liable to get worse during the cleansing that seems to be going on!
I wanted to get intense on this one to show the horror of Capital Punishment. That’s why I wrote it, but I also pictured some normal looking dude who gets his kicks from using the tools given him by Court Order to extinguish life from another human being. My inspiration for THE EXECUTIONER is the sponge ringer in THE GREEN MILE.
Experimental Pop Art Music
A mix of EDM genres with a classical touch. Now, I play Synths, Drums, Guitars, and, you know, I love the sound of a piano. Maybe I could afford a real one some day. The one I play and have been playing, I bought for my son before the pandemic and started playing it when he moved in when the pandemic started. It cost me $200. 😄
