Got a Lot

Heavy Bass, Drum Samples, Electric Mando Guitar, why not?

ME - B ;)

Crush

No Sharp Edges

I think this song embodies that moment when we are frozen with fear/desperation but then overcome it. Eye of the Tiger style ;)

You & I

This song, Take My Breath, is about that special person who can somehow brighten up the cloudiest of days.

Take My Breath

This song, Beginning, began with the Piano Riff you can hear during the chorus. From that I was inspired and the lyrics came quickly. I then added other instrumental elements around it. Ironically, it did NOT start from the beginning ;) - Altered

Beginning

This song, Backup, is dedicated to all those good parents out there. I see you ... Keep it up!

To my daughter, "I love you sweetheart"  - Altered

Backup

I'm very happy with how this song, About Time, turned out. It's a nice blend of acoustic instruments, electronic elements, and vocals. In my experience, getting all those diverse elements to sit in the mix without overwhelming each other can be difficult. Nonetheless, I think it accomplishes that feat. It has a mellow liquid feel to it that I very much hope to emulate in my future productions. Enjoy! - Altered

About Time

For me, some songs come easily, others not so much. This song, Pretty Please, definitely falls in the latter category. For whatever reason each step of the production took many tries. Record a take, delete a take. Listen to a mix, scrap a mix. Running uphill the whole way. Happy I stuck with it, because in my mind, it turned out decent - Altered

Pretty Please

I had fun writing such a positive song, Bright Side. The song idea came from my time near SF near the ballpark. Such an amazing place. When attempting to make a video I was stumped. I ended up experimenting with Google Flow AI and I think it works. Make sure to check it out here: https://www.alteredst8music.com/

While I would have much preferred to hire a film crew and cast, my budget was WAY below that ;) Regardless, I hope you enjoy it! Altered

Bright Side

Really pleased with how this one turned out. Huge thank you to Kenny Corso for laying down some dreamy backing guitar!

Think About You

This song, Protective, was difficult to create a video for. I wanted to try and capture the energy of the song but I couldn't seem to match any video content to the music. Ultimately I found a bunch of really interesting ink art clips and collaged them together to the music. While a bit minimalistic, I think it turned out. What do you think? Too boring? - Altered

Lil bit of a Linkin Park feel to this song, "Remnant"

Remnant

This song, Mindset, was started using a baritone guitar riff and a little app on my phone called EASY BEATS. I hope you enjoy it! - Altered

Mindset

This song, Different, revolves around the ideas of learning, hardship, and forgiveness. - Altered

Different

I usually enjoy producing darker, dramatic, gritty music; but, every once in a while a melody will demand a more mellow acoustic  approach. Sun Set is all about the island vibes - Altered

Sun Set

This song, All That Matters, started with a baritone guitar and a Picksaso Guitar Bow. The melody came first. Soon after, my daughter wandered into my studio and started telling me a story about a picture she drew. I happened to be recording. From there I had a good idea of the lyrics I wanted. Huge thanks, as always, to Kenny Corso who layed down some really nice guitar accompaniment. I think those touches really rounded out the song. Enjoy - Altered!

All That Matters

I woke up one morning with a gentle fury lapping at the edges of my being. Tried my best to shake it, but it wouldn't go. After a nights rest I felt better and this song, Coming Up, remained. I think sometimes you just gotta take the reality and find a way to channel it into something positive. Good Luck - Altered

Coming Up
