These instrumental tracks, composed by Carlos Garza and Rich O'Meara, were inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. We were joined by some of the finest musicians in the world, who generously lent their talents to our creative vision. The album was completed in the age of the pandemic and the session musicians collaborated from the safety of their home recording studios.

The original inspiration for some of these pieces was a 2014 Washington, D.C. Capitol Fringe Festival show produced by Nasreen Alkhateeb, Jennifer Schwed and Doug Bradshaw. We thank them for inviting us to score their innovative stage production.

But that was just the beginning. In the years that followed, we took the initial seeds of ideas and expanded the melodies, harmonies, rhythms and orchestrations. We identified themes and motifs that would repeat throughout the album to create a broader compositional scope. We also added new musical pieces based on other works of Poe that were not part of the original stage production.

This album was produced by Silent Orchestra, mixed by Carlos Garza and mastered by Bobby Read, at Small World Music, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.
