"Amnus Vera". Which is latin. Probably.




An original composition that I wrote ages and ages ago... but figured I'd record it since I've been on such a piano kick lately. Now there are 8 YouTube-able videos!

Improvisation No. 2 - "Unrested"





This is my second recorded improvisation. So if you don't like it, I'm allowed to say "Well... I made it up on the spot, so that's why it's bad." But if you like it, I can say "Thanks, yeah, not bad considering I made it up on the spot. I mean... it could be better, but that's how it goes, you know?...." Either way, you must comment!

music what can be bought.

I'm live! Now all music under the newly founded "Jalyper Studios" label can be purchased directly from here, facebook, or my website. What a miraculous time we live in...

New Song!

This is my first attempt at recording live singing. I'm pretty
happy with the way it turned out and I think Brooklyn did a great job!

A shout out to the family members who don't get to enjoy Spiche's meanderings on a regular basis.



I apologize for the poor quality.

The Other Side, an online production.


The Other Side, the movie what I scored, is now online for your viewing pleasure. It's about 26 minutes long. The premiere at BYU had a bigger turnout than I thought. Maybe 70 people or so. They all really supported the cast and crew of the film and I thought it was neat how much recognition the film got, made with no budget to speak of, using only people's free hours to produce. I think it ultimately took about a year. I also didn't know I was being paid for it, so it accidentally represents my first paying job as a film composer! I watch it now, and I already hear things I wish I did differently. And that's kind of a good sign to me, because I remember as I was writing it how much I loved it. Now, not so much. Nonetheless, it was sure fun.

Read Me.

Hello everyone. It's sure been awhile. It appears as though just a few of us (myself not deservedly included) are left in the blogging scene. I'm going to try and keep up better though. I have recently celebrated the completion of a new film score, The Other Side, of which I'm sure most of you are aware. However, NOW there's a trailer that you can watch! You can find it on my website or by clicking here. If you clicked "here", then HA! You've been tricked into going to my website anyway. That's okay though, because there are a few more songs I've written and posted for your listening pleasure. But I've been having some trouble with the widget that plays them lately, so if you experience problems that's why. Anyway, the premiere for the movie is this weekend and I'm pretty excited. It's going to be in a bona fide theater at BYU. It has been the most fun I've had with music so far and I'm excited to keep doing it.

I think that's all for now. Video links trump long blog posts anyway. I guess there's also the fact I have nothing left to say. Except that I'm still looking for a job, but who cares?
