Appalachian Tales: Spotlight - Musician Dominic Treis

    When Appalachian Tales was first made for the Audio Drama Alliance Challenge it didn't have any music. After getting feedback from others I set about to find a fun upbeat song that fit the history of the area, and came across the Appalachian Folk song "Cumberland Gap." It was the perfect piece but I had no way of getting a live recording. Enter Dominic. Dominic is a friend and fellow audio drama enthusiast I met at Lamplighter Ministries when he was recording one of the lead roles in "Shipwrecked". He is a talented composer, musician, voice actor, and more!  I asked if he would kindly play "Cumberland Gap" for my production and he heartily agreed. Giving me a small sample in less than an hour! A couple weeks later the song was ready to go. You can hear it set the tone at the beginning of Appalachian Tales as Fern runs through the woods to her Gran, and later you can hear the full song during the final credits.

    Dominic has been singing his own personal soundtrack for almost as long as he can remember. As a classically trained violinist with over ten years of orchestral experience and a member of the Carissimi chamber choir, he has developed a deep love for melody and harmony and a passion for storytelling through music. Dominic’s composition work has been featured in several mainstream audio dramas, including “Double Date” (A Friend from Woodgrove), “The Hold Up” (The Church at Trestle Falls), “David vs. Joseph” (HeartMatters), and most recently, LRT Media and Eternal Future Productions’ Robin Hood: Rising to Honor.He also enjoys voice acting, and has played characters for Lamplighter Theater, LRT Media, Eternal Future Productions, HeartMatters, Dominion Artists, and First Acts Productions. He owns and operates Saint Benedict Radio Theater, where he releases his own audio drama productions.
