"Orion"

"Orion" (demo)

I am learning to use Presonus One 6's step sequencer and piano roll, and I wrote this song from scratch. It is my first EDM song.

"I Want to Go Home"

This song, "As Much As I Want To", is a song that I wrote in 2008 or 2009, and it was the fastest I ever wrote a song--about 10 minutes. I've recorded it three or four times in different styles. Yesterday, I was playing with suno.ai, an online music generation A.I. that has recently added the ability to upload your own music. As I was messing around with the possibilities, I decided to see if I could make this song what it's always been in my head--really f-ing mad...and from a woman's point of view. After...jeez, probably over 100 iterations, *ska* seemed like the best genre to communicate this character's feelings. Who would've thought?
After revising and editing the piece, I attempted to master it in Studio One (PreSonus). I'm probably nine hours deep on this one.
What do you think? Did I do her anger justice?

"As Much As [She] Wants To"

I'm taking another songwriting workshop from Jesse Ogle at Roots Music Project, and it's doing what I hoped it would: forcing me to step outside of my ruts, norms, and hang-ups. After finishing school today, I came home to record the first assignment for the workshop, and it's also the first song I've written in the dream-pop genre. Mixing (and singing) for this genre is a whole other animal, and I definitely don't have it down yet. Even so, you'll probably be able to hear what this song is about--snow and snow and love and snow. (If you're in Colorado, you'll know.)
