waveline

Another new track -- and in 6/8! I love this time signature; it's really well-suited to this genre and offers a little bit of interest in a world of 4/4, whilst still being "normal".

With this track, I think I'm starting to properly find my feet with Reaper. My workflow is coming together, and I've nutted out how to organise plugins and tracks for automation better. There's still a way to go, but I'm now well into "just make music" territory.

This is the first track on which I've used a multi-band compressor; I think I've found an OK balance between average volume and nice tight transients. If you have any tips, let me know!

Fall For You

An improvisation from late June 2015.

Performed on a Komplete Kontrol S61 with Kontakt and "The Grandeur" piano.

Je Me Souviens de l'Automne

It feels good to be writing music again; it's been a while! It's also fun to write a trance piece again.

I've tried a new compressor in this track; the Reaktor ensemble "Flat Blaster". I'm pretty pleased with the results -- it's not too "sausagey", but still nice and tight.

Insoluble

The first track of the new year. Here's hoping that 2016 will be more productive musically for me than 2015 was!

Formant

An orchestral track with a slightly western flair.

Rondo Occidentale

Iridescent

The melody for this one came to me waiting for a lift one day after work. I tried doing an orchestral thing with it, but that just didn't seem to want to work -- but this dance version fits it quite well, I think!

Left In Disarray

I write music for games and videos, but mainly I write music just for fun. I release most of my tracks under a Creative Commons license, so you're free to do all sorts of things with them. ;)
