about

"Man of Multnomah uses the brushes of his imagination to paint us vivid pictures of aural atmospheres vast and delicate. This work breathes both bliss and trouble. It offers a moment's peace, always with the potential of danger, as if continuously struggling to hide from it. The desert is wild and unrelenting, and this is her soundtrack."
— David S. Fylstra

"Man of Multnomah's tracks are an armed forces anthem of rhythms to inspire one to march straight to a firing line against your own best interest. Desolate tones and harsh distortion make you grin, ever so slightly, your teeth grind through to the last note. You can feel the spirit of Neil Young tear at your heart strings and beg for your assistance in digging your own sonic grave. The material set me up for the knife in the side that I never saw coming. No single Man of Multnomah song is as good as the sum of it's parts, and still each track is a treasure. Highly recommended for those with tough ears, a strong stomach, and half a mind to ride the last horse out of town at dawn."
— Rob Lovell

I’ve always loved everything about Western flicks:
The inspiring heroes, the dastardly villains, the innocent folks trapped in-between them and the uncertainty of anyone surviving until the last scene. The slow and long panning shots of vast, lonely, open plains. The stories told by the characters along cruel journeys, from tough scene to tougher scene, on the roughest of blood-soaked roads. The feather width of hope that you grasp tight to your heaving chest, that hope that the hero finds safe passage while dragging the evil to judgement or to the reaper.

The Western soundtracks—like the films themselves—ARE America… gritty, raw, and with survival at the forefront. The music sets the mood, creates tension, and brings breath to the visuals. You are cold, alone, with only a single bullet left in your pistol. Best of luck.

In keeping with my first western soundtrack score, "The scorpion sways in the moonlight", here's more of the same vibe, written/recorded at the same time.
— Aaron D.C. Edge / Man of Multnomah
