I’ve spent the last few years writing a transmedia novel and composing its soundtrack. tuned to 432Hz, heavy Seattle grunge meets classical inversions. Here is the result.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project that has consumed my life for a long time. I’ve been writing a novel, and while building its universe, I composed the entire soundtrack to go with it.

Under the name Jonn Reed, I don't see this as just making music — I see it as making evidence for the story.

  • The Sound: It’s deeply rooted in the ghost frequencies of 90s/2000s Seattle grunge and post-grunge, but built over harmonic inversions inspired by Shostakovich and Vivaldi. Everything is intentionally tuned to 432Hz to give it a darker, more resonant weight.
  • The Concept: The tracks follow the narrative arc of the book (featuring characters/voices like Louise Bryant and Endymion moving underneath).

If you like heavy guitars, raw atmosphere, and concept-driven rock, I’d love for you to give it a listen.

Where to start: Begin with "Hello Seattle", and if you’re hooked, stay for "The Beat".

You are not just a listener here; you are a witness to the story.

Would love to hear your honest thoughts on the production, the atmosphere, and the vibe. Thanks for listening!
