A song my good friend Pj wrote for the Steel Tongue Drum. Featuring my God-Like playing of the Rain Stick. 

BUMI (Pj Hakopian)

This is a song I collaborated on with Stephanie Coolbaugh, who was kind enough to lend her voice to this song. It was originally intended to just be a guitar solo piece, but hey, when you have instruments just lying around, it's hard not to be tempted to see what they'd sound like together!

I Cant Breathe (Ft. Stephanie Coolbaugh)

I did this song with an excellent vocalist named Sydney like two months ago and I just now got around to finish trying to somewhat mix it and put it up. She wrote the lyrics and came up with/sang the vocal melody and I wrote for/played all of the various instruments in the song. If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of the waves crashing on the coast of the Outer Banks in North Carolina throughout the whole song. To also add to the effect that the song title suggests, this was recorded without a metronome to give it a more free form sound.

Running Water (Ft. Sydney Murray)

     This is a song I recorded with Kate Pittard. I tried to make it sound mellow yet have a sort of drive to it at the same time and also test some different techniques in regards to recording and editing. Kate was kind enough to figure out the vocal harmonies which add a lot to the song. The picture is of the James River and I figured it'd be somewhat fitting.

Sacred Shore (Ft. Kate Pittard)

This song uses Guitar, Tambourine, Maraca,  Darbuka, Rebaba, and features the Baglama Saz (Turkey) and Duduk (Armenia). I left it pretty free in structure but tried to use influences of middle eastern song structure with at some points all instruments playing the main melody.

Mid - East Inspired Song

My attempt at making a song that sounds like its from the orient. I tried to mimic the sound of Mongolian throat singing throughout to add a sort of ambiance to it. Enjoy! (I hope haha)
