What started with a familiar organ sound, ended up being an act of complete madness, attempting to recreate one of the greatest tracks of all time - LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum.

I apologise in advance.

Ludwig’s Crazy Drums - Instrumental

Left In Disarray

With Christmas now not too far away, it's time to start remixing and reworking carols again! We Three Kings is one of my favourite carols (musically speaking), and sharpening the 7th in the chorus always makes me happy. I've "done" it a few times; this is my take for 2016.

As always, this track is free to download and free to share.

When I Fall

After another nearly six-month hiatus, I'm back to writing music! I've tried out a few new techniques in timbre and mastering in this track; hopefully they're successful! :)

All that I seek

Once again, it's been a long interval between tracks. But here's one at last! It's quite fun to write in this style, with a half-time feel -- the feel popularised by dubstep. I'm a particular fan when used in conjunction with rapid arps, as it bumps up the contrast. :)

Production: It's about 90% NI Massive, with a little bit of Polyplex, Battery, and Kontakt thrown in.

Sky on fire

This track really hearkens back to music I was writing a decade or so ago. In fact, some of the sounds are from that era, including the "boomwhackers" (which give the "tag" at the end). I'm really glad to have rediscovered these. They're essentially lengths of PVC pipe which the sampler whacked against her/his head and recorded. I love how they can cut through the mix without being overbearing.

It's been a while since I managed to write some music, what with moving house and two small children and the allure of games, but hopefully this track is just the first of many this year. 😉

Malcontent

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. ;)
