DVĀRAM

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, "DVĀRAM."

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.

Artifex (noun - Latin): practitioner of an art, craftsman, creator

This track acts as a small case study, epitomizing both my sound and what I try to achieve with my music. I start with a blank canvas and employ the simplest of motifs, a pulse on a single tone. With each subsequent layer I try to add intrigue and detail, giving a direction to the piece and painting a picture for the listener. Each layer is treated analogously to how an engineer would make use of a fundamental principle in their trade, ultimately arriving at something comprised of much greater complexity.  Finally, a simple harmonic structure is introduced, rich and vibrant in tonality, which I attempt to complement through the continued use of driving percussive elements. I intended the final product to feel built from the ground up like a group of architects beginning construction on a monument, only with the brick and mortar and mathematical axioms substituted by sonic motifs.

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