This is a WIP I came up with last year. The lyrics aren't anything I thought super hard about, nor the riff the most eye-catching (ear-catching?) thing I've heard, but I like what I've made! 
Minimal mixing, minimal tracks. Just my PRS through a loud, clean Hot Rod Deluxe. 
Would love feedback!

The Time Lost In-between (WIP 4 Jan '21)

This song I wrote about a once-friend that I eventually realized was a toxic relationship. I don't think much about her anymore, but occasionally I do, and I figured I'd try and write a song about it. 
I'm not an amazing singer or songwriter, but I gots to practice and this is how c:
Feedback is always appreciated!

Sycamore Street (WIP V2.2)

This is a cover of a song off of the 2005 Syd Matters album, Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles - one of my favorites of all time. I've been mixing this for months, and I'm never happy with it, honestly. I'm putting it here just to have it here - but just know that I'm not pleased with it sonically at the moment. 
I love the song however!

English Way (WIP V7.8)

Just throwing this up here lol, this is probably around 2 years old now 
From my favorite 3DS game and JRPG ever!! Such an incredible game!!

Rune Factory 4 V1.2.1

Minimal editing, just my voice and my electric guitar, live! It's like a little concert. Times Like These, by the Foo Fighters! RIP Taylor Hawkins...

------------------------
Oh yeah and I just had this weird idea for the Russian Anthem as a Lullaby because i was listening to this one album which had classical songs in lullaby covers, and Canon in D came on, and that made me think Russian Anthem yupppppp

Instruments:
Keys - Yamaha YPG-235

Equipment:
Mixer - Behringer Q1202

The Russian Anthem - As A Lullaby

My cover of Touch the Sky, from the movie Brave. First time recording with a Irish Whistle, and I quickly figured out the easy way of making it sound good: a ton of reverb :D
Also, I recorded myself playing this with video as well, which is on YouTube.

Touch the Sky - Cover

I did this with the help of a friend for a school project. It was fun!

A short cover of a classic Bolshevik-era combat anthem for the Red Army. White Army, Black Baron was composed in 1920 during the Russian Civil War, by Pavel Grigorevich Gorinshtejn (1895–1961).  

You can actually find a detailed set of the lyrics on Wikipedia, here: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_A...

Also, there's too much reverb.

White Army, Black Baron - A Short Cover

I'm not really comfortable with my singing voice, but I pushed myself out of my comfort zone for this track. With a lot of takes and editing, I'm actually really happy with how it turned out!

Breathe is one of the best tracks that ever came out of that small, indie band Pink Floyd - maybe you've heard of them. Being the opening to one of the best-selling and globally-captivating albums ever, it gives the listener an immense feeling of space. The tempo of the song, the luscious Em9 to A7 verse, the light finesse of the ride cymbal - all of it builds a song that actually feels like it's breathing. 
I've always said that when you play David Gilmour's tasty licks and Water's perfectly-placed bass lines, you see God. This track does not disappoint.

Pink Floyd's Breathe - Cover

The She Ra Theme Song!
I really love this show, so a while back I made a cover/medley of it, and got it recorded at my Community College. I finished mixing it in February, so it's been a while, cuz I'm trying to wait to film a music video - Corona. 
I hope you enjoy!!

p.s. the album cover is a placeholder until I can get a good photo

She Ra Theme Song - A Medley

The Transformation theme from She Ra and the Princesses of Power! 
When the show ended, I was broken for a while - I didn't want to say goodbye to all the characters! But after a period of moping, came a period of creativity and a drive to make things. If I didn't get one of those, I probably wouldn't have spent the immense amount of time this took lol
This took so loong just for a minute and a half - dozens and dozens of hours transcribing, learning, tracking, filming, mixing, editing - but I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it!
I hope you enjoy!

She Ra - Transformation || A Cover by Max

This is a really short almost "proof of concept" thing I did just to see what it would sound like:
The Age of Empires 3 soundtrack is super underrated, change my mind. So here's tiny cover of a snippet of the soundtrack!
