Finding Solace Premieres at Austin Action Film Fest 2025

Best Original Music Score at Austin Film Fest, 2025

After the premiere of Finding Solace, Maurice Moore called up the cast and crew involved in making the film. I got up and stood with everyone. Maurice then basically spills the beans and says, “And congratulations to Dave Wirth for winning Best Original Score for Austin Action Film Festival!”

A confused 30 seconds later, when I figured that people were looking at me, I finally remembered to say thank you! Ha!

Sounds like it’s time for me to update my IMDb page:

Get Play Artful by the Double Headed Seagulls a Week Early and also get a Bonus Tune Half An Hour Past Hanging Time

Play Artful - August 28th, 2025

Half An Hour Past Hanging Time - August 21st, 2025

Play Artful is getting ready to drop onto unsuspecting ears everywhere. I can hardly contain my excitement. I’m ready! The record drops for everyone on August 28th, 2025, unless you’re a subscriber of Fire, Fire, Red Star Down…

Play Artful as well as Half An Hour Past Hanging Time are available on August 21st, 2025 for members of Fire, Fire, Red Star Down, at Bandcamp. I can’t wait to get this music to y’all.

If you’re already a subscriber, thank you. I mean it. This is the least I can do for your awesomeness. I hope you dig the music.

Music Teasers Galore

One-Pot Screamer by The Double Headed Seagulls

Hanging, Stop Fighting The World, and Dual Sadness by Dave Wirth, Finding Solace (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Finding Solace Announces Release for Early December, 2025. Teasers Galore

I can't help but be a tiny bit suspicious when "Mercury Retrograde" hits and all things technology fall apart. Bandcamp was quite fussy this week.

The Finding Solace preorder gave me multiple error messages when i wanted to release the main track. Instead, I've included it here along with a little behind-the-scenes info on what it was like to work with Maurice Moore on this film: www.davewirthmusic.com/blog/finding-solace-original-motion-picture-soundtrack

Further, the first two Finding Solace teasers were released this week. This teaser is pretty fun and scary (Horror movie soundtracks are the most fun to compose the music for):

Play Artful, by The Double Headed Seagulls, Latest Teaser. Bonus Track for Fire, Fire, Red Star Down Subscribers

I also released a 14 second teaser of Full Oxford, the first song off of Play Artful by The Double Headed Seagulls. It's got a really interesting chord progression in it (at least to my ears, and ego):

Play Artful is coming out on August 28th, 2025. If you're a subscriber, you'll get a never-before-heard bonus DHSG track one week before the album releases: firefireredstardown.bandcamp.com/members
