This is a song from a band in high school. Good old Worcester rock coming out of a single take basement recording session.

Ardmore - Count Chocula/Goblin Band-Aid

This song was the outro to "Follow the Sky" that never got properly recorded. I recored this rough take was recorded in a few hour session over Thanksgiving break on drums, my mom's 12 string guitar, and electric guitar. It has a raw sound, inspired by the rough edges that would form on anything drifting along a shore.

Drifting Away From The Shoreline

Wrote this one before bed, perhaps it is a lullaby.

Sleep Tight Tonight

I have been working on this one for almost 4 years. Too much going on to sound crisp.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Get Me Away From Here (Instrumental Demo)

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Suspiciously Calming

I hope this song brings happiness to someone!

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Pleasure

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Sunshine and Dandelions

9 minutes of awesome guitar. I've been working on this one for 3 years, so I hope you enjoy!

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Up In Flames (Instrumental Demo)

The Time Traveler

I never finished this track, but really like a few ideas in it, so I figured I would share!

DChest - Polyrhythm Test

This song was originally intended as a gift for someone.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Unwrapped Gift

One of those songs that got written and recorded from start to finish in one night.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Danger In The Dancehall

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - White

A bit heavier than white, but still uplifting, happy, and melodic.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Yellow

Just a taste of an older song of mine. Starts off with some different chords, eventually breaks out into shifting time signatures. More (and better) songs to come.

Hell's Anguish

A little bass and lead improv through MIDI synths

Chill Improv

I guess you would call this a 3 piano piece... A lot of interesting interplay going on. It was written for a disklavier.

David Chester - Disklavier

This is a jazz orchestra piece that I wrote. The musicians sight read it, which is pretty impressive on their part. There's a flute, clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, a bass trombone, piano, bass, and drums in this piece. Whew... that was a lot of work... 

David Chester - Fight for the Head

I wrote, recorded, and mixed this song and 2 and a half hours. It's pretty slow and... weird and random. I wrote while I was half asleep, which probably gives it the dreamy sound it has. May not be the best song ever, but definitely some interesting sounds.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Reborn through an Ambient Dream

Another new recording! Take a listen! I recorded the guitars and programmed the drums and synths. Hopefully this will be the first song for a rock/metal album, which I plan to record over this summer.

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - A Gentle Preview

A little song I wrote and recorded in a week. It's got some cool guitar riffs, check it out!

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Wonderful Surprises

My vocal and lyric premiere, best guitar performance, mixing, and production for a rock/metal song yet. Check it out, I had a lot of fun with it!

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Follow the Sky

Ultraviolet Catastrophe - Follow the Sky (Instrumental)

This is the final version submitted for the 21M.310 class at MIT.
