I created this song using FLStudio 10 back in January of 2011. I know it's way too damn long and it's lacking 90% of it's polish, but here it is. Since this is also part of the "Stars" collection, I also named it after a woman.

Grey Skies and Black Ties

A project I spent just over 125 hours on between December 2010 and January 2011. I initially rebuilt the original song in FL Studio 9 using the provided stems in order to really get an idea for a remix. I felt the song could bang a little harder and also have a more electro/symphonic feel to it. I then built the entire song without vocals using some samples I had edited from the original for the new beats. I had the outline for the song done in about 25 hours of work. I then layered the vocal parts using the Gross Beat plugin in FL Studio 9 and spent about 10 hours automating the layout of the vocal effects. I spent a few weeks straight just mixing the bass and the drums, adding layers and adjusting the overall dynamics of the master channel. I also went back and added a lot of final touches to the synths, tweaking the attack, automating the cutoff to clean up some breaks, and lastly adding the sub bass track under the original. I have to thank Andrea for giving me an opportunity to remix one of her tracks, especially one with Carissa and VC's vox on it.

SuperDre - Get Em Up (feat. Flying Without Wingz) - austinseven's Wizard Remix

The wizard intro. I created this using FL Studio 9 in about September 2010 and I've used it to begin many of my mixes. Some version of this will most likely be used as the intro to my 2011 album "Stars".

On Holiday

A track I made in the fall of 2010 for the upcoming release "Stars" in 2011.


Take me to the Moon

Another track from the upcoming release "Stars". This was made using FL Studio 9 in mid-late 2010.

Ruby Sunset (Don't Run Away)

An AZN-Step track with some powerful sub bass tracks to chill out to. This is my first track using FL Studio 10.

Spice is Nice

I recorded this using FL Studio Mobile on iPhone 6. I used a $50 Rogue bass with a missing tuner and a broken bridge to get the idea out of my head. All four layers (Left, Right, "Bass", and Lead) are bass. Keep it wizard.

"Can you open your eyes?
I'm trying to make this simple,
I'm trying to make this work,
and you know I'll leave you behind.

Into my face, from out of the case,
the bullet flies like the arrow flies,
into my brain.
And I've tried to find a meaning,
a reason for your lies,
it's the question that intrigues me...

Can you look me in the eyes? 
I'm trying to make things simple,
I'm trying to make things work,
and you know I'll leave you behind.

Do you remember the taste of outer space?
The bullet flies like a butterfly,
life flashes before my eyes...

When I grow old what will I know?

Now Fly.

Well was it worth it?
You can't ever take back the life that you've taken away.
Well is it worth it?
You can't ever take back the life that you've taken from me.

And now I'll just ask one simple question.

Can you open your eyes?"

"I've been living this way for what feels like so long.
Can't handle being alone, can't keep my hands off myself.
I get carried away my feelings are so strong.
So Sick of being alone can't keep my hands to myself.

No more hopelessness. 
Move on, move forward.
No more trying to guess.
Move on, get over it.

Desire.

I've been making my way close to you for so long.
Feels like this night never ends until our lives start to end.
I've been keeping my eyes on you for so long.
I hope this shit never ends, lets make it last forever...

Desire.

No more desire."

"And I know it's wrong, but I want it all back. 

Looking back at myself, I see that I was wrong. 
Coming back to my senses, it took so long,
For me to believe this, I try to pick up the pieces.
But I can't escape (this fate). 

And I know it's wrong, but I want it all back.
Cause it's been so long,
Since you first held me, dying in your hands.

Don't fool yourself, this is never what you wanted.
And still it haunts me, to see your face again.
Don't fool yourself, you can see your prince has fallen.
One thousand arrows, straight to the heart.

I can't escape.
I can't escape this.
I can't escape this fate.
I can't escape, this fate is my own.

And all this time, 
I've been searching for something
To show you inside my heart.

And I know it's wrong, but I want it all back."

[Justin] 
"Right before you die,
I will look into your eyes and lie.
There's no time to say goodbye.
Close your eyes and disappear.

[Austin] 
It's the fear,
That bends you into breaking
Away from so called fate
A reality worth faking,
And it's taking me away.

(Right before you die)

[Justin] 
When you wait for so long,
And it feels like everything's gone wrong.
It's not like I could even care.
Because I'm too stoned now. 

[Austin] 
See, your life's not waiting,
For you, poor you.
And I'm not looking,
For this, to come true.

So this is what you get,
For being so damn quiet.

[Austin]
The end is near,
And your life's not worth saving,
So I'll take it all away.
I can see your heart is breaking.
It doesn't matter what you say.

So this is what you get,
For being so damn quiet."
