Midweek Fall 2013: Courante - Weiss

Just kidding. Barb is the worst character in the entire show. The arpeggiated synth bass line is the only thing especially Stranger Things inspired in this.

Justice For Barb

I wrote this song yesterday and cranked out a crappy demo for it today. I'm sure I'll make lots of changes to it before I record it again. Enjoy!

Pixar Cowboy

Quick cover I threw together because my sister reminded me of this song.

Nineteen - Max Stern Cover

This is a piece that I put together over the last couple of days in Reason. I think of it as something that you might hear at the end of a game during a cutscene or at the beginning of the credits. I really dig the instrumentation. It's got a violin section, pizzicato upright bass, organ, an 8 bit type synth with reverb and a phaser, and some cellos. Probably instrumentation that I'll experiment with more in the future. The portion of the melody with all of the leaps is inspired pretty heavily by the Stan Kenton Band's rendition of My Funny Valentine.


The End

This is something that I see as background music for a platformer with a dark theme.

Voice Leading is Fun

This is a little piece I put together where the first 16 bars are all pretty diatonic. They have a drive forward, but don't leave the listener with any real sense of unease. The last 16 bars, though, are composed almost entirely of diminished chords which ascend in a pattern that eventually leads to resolution on the F Major tonic.

Awareness Heightening

This is my final composition project for my last music theory class at UP. It has some tritone planing and it's based on a 3 against 2 ostinato.
