In this piece, I attempted to paint a picture of the wonderous art and architecture of medieval China. Featuring talented multi-instrumentalist Shere Fraser (Dizi, Xiao, Flute, etc.), this track was a delight to compose and produce.

To be included in my upcoming release, Civilization Soundscape.

Autocatalytic

To be featured on my upcoming album release "Civilization Soundscape." This track depicts the epic, Mediterranean clash between the Greeks and Persians at the Battle of Salamis in 480 B.C. After the sack of Athens by the conqueror Xerxes and his army, around 370 Greek triremes regrouped for one final attempt at halting the invasion force. Against the numerically superior 800 ship armada, the Greeks were triumphant at the straits of Salamis, saving Hellenic culture from the brink of potential annihilation.

This track acts as a sort of case study, epitomizing both my sound and what I try to achieve with my music. I start with a blank canvas and layer the simplest of motifs, starting with just a pulse on a single note. Each subsequent layer adds intrigue and detail, giving a direction to the piece and painting a picture for the listener. I treat each layer like an engineer would use a fundamental principle in their trade, eventually arriving at something comprised of much greater complexity.  Finally, the chordal structure is introduced, rich and vibrant in tonality, which I attempt to complement through the use of driving percussive elements. I intended the final product to feel built from the ground up like an architect starting a monument, only with the brick and mortar substituted by the different sonic motifs.

I hope you enjoy :) please comment with your thoughts and any critiques!
