Final Call

Piano, lots of synth. Like theme and variation meets progressive meets trance. 

Trickle

This is an oldie, for me. Circa '06? I do not know... anyway all I have left of it is a 128k Mp3 so... sorry. Some very light, spacious piano music, with plenty of electronic "adjustments."

Barometer Rising

A (very) oldie. Don't judge too harshly, I probably didn't know what I was doing yet. However, I decided to share this based on its melodic and formal merits. Trance instrumentation with a hip-hop beat, perchance my favorite music to hash together. 

All Riffed Up

A well-known chant. I am the vocalist on this track. Some may know an English translation set to different music, "Where Charity and Love Prevail." This is a translation of a less-historically-accurate text ('Ubi caritas et amor...'). The more accurate translation to the introductory line ('Ubi caritas est vera...'), as well as the rest, follows:

Where charity is true, there God is.
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.

Where charity is true, there God is.
As we are gathered into one body,
Beware, lest we be divided in mind.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease,
And may Christ our God be in our midst.

Where charity is true, there God is.
And may we with the saints also,
See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God:
The joy that is immense, certainly virtuous.
Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen. 

Ubi Caritas

This is one of my favorites. Circa 2005. I do not own the samples used in this, however since I have and will never profit from sales or licensing of this work, I do not feel too bad about uploading it. Mozart, meet break-beat. 

Day of Wrath (Dies Irae Rap)

"Make the speakers bleed" is a phrase that comes to mind with this one, for me. Hence the title. And it sounds even cooler in German, right? This work is not yet complete. Also, it goes all the way to the ground. 23 Hz (if I remember right.) Sounds awfully good on my sub. Yours?

Das Lautsprecherblut

Just what it says. From 2007. I know just a little about subs, and designed this work to test various aspects of their acoustic performance. 

Bass Test 07

Vibing

The feeling of watching the rain through a window. This piece may be expanded sometime in the future. For now, it's just a nice little mood. 

Inner Rain

I was born and raised in rural Missouri. I create electronic music in various styles, often with heavy bass, synth-driven melodies, and an eye towards hip-hop for the beats. Lately I have been using more samples and minimalist techniques as my repertoire is expanding. I enjoy tinkering with all things 'sound,' from samples to synths to hi-fi audio equipment. I currently have a modest home studio, and this music is the fruit of my hobbies.
