As always, my only hope is that it gets you activated. Everybody do the pigeon.

Pijjin

Trying to reign in those LFOs again. I started with the part before the first breakdown that sounds like someone scraping a violin bow across an open nerve, and that's when I thought of the title. Next came the orchestra intro (totally inspired by/ripped-off from? Hans Zimmer, cuz he's the man. The rest was trial and error, as always. The outro is my favorite. Part one of two ;)

Trauma

I hope this song makes you want to punch someone in the face. #justnotmethanks #C-C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER

Combo-Breaker

Very anticipation. So tension. Electro-house synths and drums along with a bubbly trance lead. Broke it all down at the end. Big influences were MSTRKRFT and Big Black Delta.

Cazzette - Sleepless (BATTLE DAMAGE Remix)

Searching for something; in anything from blood to dreams.

Additional vocals by my friend Cindy Chau.

As far as the mix goes, I'm trying to use delays to widen things out and create a better sense of space than in some of my other mixes. Used "Fader" by Temper Trap and "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers as reference mixes.

Blood and Dreams

Polished up a track that's been waiting around for a few years. Kinda chaotic and needed some restructuring. Changed the lead at the last minute and cut out all the lyrics and vocals except for the chopped up, swirly bits that remain.

Under the Jungle

An EDM rework of "Walking in the Air," a song written by Howard Blake for the 1982 animated film The Snowman based on Raymond Briggs's 1978 children's book of the same name.

Dancing in the Air

Painted Lives (Trauma Pt. 2)

Synthy music to run to. I like when it kicks in towards the end. It all started with that cheesy horn riff. Produced in Reason.

Thinking Kata

This is a track I had originally written in 4 hours when I first started making songs. Five years later I decide to remix it and it takes me a week. Garr... Really glad I did, though.

To the Skies

Dance remix of my friends Emma Heartbeat's tune.
