The Emporium of Liminality

A rework/remaster of one of my oldest tracks. The percussion and synths are all newly made and the remaining bits were copied over from ios garageband, where the track was originally made.

The Judgement of The Toroid

On a little break while I figure some stuff out in my life...
I'll be back in a few months. 

I create music as a hobby in my spare time. I try to incorporate many different instruments and styles to create unique pieces. 

I use mostly free plugins and software, my favorite resources currently being Spitfire LABS and the synth Vital. 

I also currently enjoy making AI generated images with Midjourney to use as artwork for my songs. 

Songs are free to download here on Soundcloud, and some on Bandcamp (name your price).
