PhazeShift - "Resolve Perception Together"

PhazeShift - Pensive Session

Now that I have an iPad, I was able to finish this song the way I had envisioned it: with the little bit of twang. Give it a listen.

Infinidium - "WhiteSmoke"

I started this track way back in March of this year. It's been nothing more than a drum beat, a bassline, and eventually some chords for quite a while. I decided to finally tweak what I had and finish this track once and for all. Check it out.

Infinidium - "SilverChalice"

I started this song almost 3 years ago. My fluctuating interest in music-making, available time, and level of creativity -- I believe -- is the reason that it took so long to make this track. Well, I decided that I wanted to finally just get the thing done today. Here's the finished product.

Infinidium - "BatteryChargedBlue"

This is my first new PhazeShift song in 3 years. I wasn't planning to make a song today, actually. I was just messing around with a couple of new instrument packs and plug-ins that I recently downloaded. A couple hours of messing around later, and here's song #117. I hope you enjoy it.

PhazeShift - "What's the 1-1-7?"

The latest from my new-age music making alter-ego, Infinidium. I give you "DeepLilac".

Infinidum - "DeepLilac"

I present to you my 16th Infinidium track. My wife actually helps me choose the colors for these song titles. She said this one sounds like a morning sunrise to her, which I'm glad, because I was hoping for a yellow color. I don't have a yellow-colored song yet. I present to you, "SunGlow".

Infinidium - "SunGlow"

Earlier this week, I was perusing a free music website, looking for songs that I can lift some nifty samples from. I found this one that starts with the artist shouting "There's violence in the street!" I knew I definitely wanted to use that sample and make a song about current events. I later decided that I didn't want to use that sample in its pure form, so I found a cool vocoder plugin, and voila! Throw in a synth that sounds like a siren and some free audio clips of angry riots, and I have my first attempt at current event commentary.

PhazeShift - "Violence in the Streets"

My name is Darby Gardner. I've dabbled in making music for almost 30 years. In late 1991, my cousin and I got together and started writing and recording raps. We used my parents' organ, a couple of cheap synthesizers, and a record full of break beats to make our music. I wouldn't say that we were overly skilled at our craft -- in fact looking back now, it sounds kinda cheesy -- but we liked what we did. In 1993, I went solo using those same cheap synthesizers and break beats to record my raps. Again, quite cheesy and nothing groundbreaking, but it was a good outlet. Over the years, I discovered various music making programs and I would throw together some songs. Most recently, I've started using Ableton Live Lite, which I was able to get for free a few years ago via a new sign-up promotion here on SoundCloud.

Currently, I make two types of music under two different monikers. My more upbeat and faster-paced electronic and techno music is created under the name PhazeShift, while my more ambient and new-age type music is made under the name Infinidium. Fun fact: each song that I make as Infinidium has the name of a color (as listed on Wikipedia) as its title. That's basically me. I hope you enjoy my music.

FYI: The recordings posted here are quite often not the final drafts. If you would like to hear the final, official recordings, you can check them out on my BandCamp page (http://radicalimusic.bandcamp.com) as their respective albums are released.
