Very first scoring project for PwC, goal was to sound like news program. First version was in 2000 but I can't open it anymore – unless I dig out my G3 and hope Vision will still launch on it.

Comet - 2001

My first experiment with this sound. There's no fucking way I played all those parts at this tempo. MIDI ftw.

LDL - 2000

2nd go at this instrumentation, managed to make it sound a little less MIDI-ish this time, looser with the timing. (Also probably no MIDI tempo tricks, I think I actually played at the final tempo)

ASTD - 2000

Ahh, thank god Mike came over again with his strat and Fender twin, such a nice change of pace from all-Kurzweil all-the-time. And the riff was all Mike, so bad-ass. I made a decent Eminence Front tribute with my keyboard, but I don't think that's what I was going for at the time.

CISCO - 2000

The first time an idea of mine got shot down. Ally hated this one. Some people just can't dig a phasey/funky/wet sawtooth synth lead. Version 2 got Phil Collinsified and the thumbs up.

eGov version 1 - 2000

eGov version2 - 2000

I guess I didn't notice at the time that the animation was called "Tech Edge," this is about as far from tech edge as you can get. But I still like it, its got a very Sunday afternoon bong hits groove to it. 

ITG Tech Edge - 2000

Oh god, here we go again with this shit. Should've quit after the last one that sounded like this, its going downhill fast now. But at least I got some cowbell in there. (Non-ironically, this was way before I saw the SNL skit, I was a true-believer in the power of the cowbell.)
