Super-Galactic Ultranova

This is my "What would Animals As Leaders do?" song.

Utopia Planitia

This is some nap-time music I made for my little niece's first birthday. It was challenging to create such subtle, simple music, but I'm very happy with the results!

Goodnight, Gwen

Love the beat and the talking synth on this track. This one feels like the end of a movie to me.

Roll The Credits

This is the theme for the often overlooked prequel to the popular English period drama Downton Abbey - Upton Convent. And yes, they had electric pianos in the early 1900s... Anyway, I tried to make the track sound like it's coming out of a phonograph or an old radio or something.

Upton Convent Theme

This is an example of an exercise in melody I sometimes do. First I take the 12 notes in the scale, randomize them, and lay down 12-note simple bassline, each note being one of the 12 tones. Then I try to build chords that sound good based on that bass line (takes awhile since I don't know theory)- once you can palate the progression, the exercise is to try to construct a melody that sounds pleasant (I used a sax). It's a fun way to expand your melodic understanding.

Jazz Exercise

This track was heavily influenced by a band called OSI - a band founded by ex-Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore. I've been sitting on this song for a while, and I finally decided to wrap it up and share it with y'all. I experimented with samples toward the end, and it may be a little over the top, but I had fun with it! Enjoy.

Dealing with personal demons that seem to help you, but hurt you in the long run.
