Down From 10
Friends, it’s my latest collaborative project! Between the production of books 1 and 2 of J.D. Sawyer’s Antithesis series, Mr. Sawyer is releasing a shorter work called Down From Ten. It’s a ‘country house mystery’ that’s fully dramatized with actors, sound effects and original music.
by me
In early January, a group of friends get together for an annual retreat; eight artists, scientists, and authors cloistered together in a mansion in the mountains above Redding, California for ten days of games, conversation, exhibition, and hedonism, while isolated from the outside world. It might all have been quite pleasant, if it weren’t for the biggest California snowstorm in over twenty years. When the storm hits, the house is buried in an avalanche, leaving our heroes with no way to hike out. Instead, they must find a way to survive and stay sane while waiting for rescue - which becomes difficult when they all start having the same dream.
A comedy in the tradition of The Shining and A Clockwork Orange, a romance in the tradition of Clue and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, and a mystery in the tradition of Paint Your Wagon and Time Enough For Love, Down From Ten will thrill you a little, chill you a little, and tickle your fancy in ways you wouldn’t want your children to see.
Begins June 20. Intended for adult audiences.
This is the theme music, and there is plenty more coming soon! Thanks for listening!










I loved the score in Antithesis, and this theme for Down From Ten seems to be perfect for the Book. It sets up the listener for the story in just the right way. I love it!
