So this ones pretty different to my last track, it's a little bit scary haha.
I wrote it for our 'Sounds, Beats, and the Home Studio' unit. The idea of this project was to get out of my comfort zone a little, and use some different programs and features I either hadn't used, or didn't know existed including time stretching and midi.
Straight away I thought of doing an industrial track, similar to Rod Zombie or Korn (way back in the day Korn). I recorded three different parts on pro tools, logic, and ableton, then mixed and bounced them from a pro tools session. Again no vocals, I added some cool horror movie quotes instead, whoever owns them can sue me, I have no money haha.
A really fun assignment :) The mixes are slowly getting better!!
So enjoy, and if you like it, share it!

Terrors

A super (rough!) sample of an upcoming tune I'm writing for school. This one's a super slow jazz piece, designed to be completely simple but effective. If all goes to plan the finished product should be complete with a strings, horns, and a seductive female voice. 
Enjoy!

meet me in the middle

A song written and sang by our studio teacher Daniel Aguilar, all sound files were supplied, all I did was mix them using all the generic pro tools plugins i.e. BF76, EQ7B, D-Verb etc
I gotta say it's amazing how easy mixing can be when you have properly recorded files, performed by professional musicians. Anyway this is my finished mid-term for Advanced Studio, I suggest you get a decent set of headphones or speakers to listen! :)
Enjoy!

Advanced Studio Assignment I

Our second Advanced Studio assignment. The audio comes from an Abbey Road session featured in Sound on Sounds December 2013 issue. All we had to do was mix it. Came out ok all though I seem to suck at reverbs this week haha.

Catching Up - Studio Assignment II

My own creation for Advanced Production. Got the opportunity to record some great muso's and produce my track from beginning to end. I even outsourced my vocal from back home!

Say Goodbye

My second piece for Advanced Production, this one was kind of rushed because the piece I was gunna do just wouldn't work right so I pulled this instrumental piece and thickened it up with percussion and cello. Actually turned out kinda ok for a rush job.

Empathy, for the masses...

My arrangement of John William's theme for Schindler's List, for our Ensemble composition assignment. We were given the main melody on piano and instructed to arrange it for a fourteen piece orchestra. One of the funnest assignments yet! :)
Quick pro audio disclaimer, what you're hearing is Sibelius' midi tracks (ie they don't sound great), I haven't mixed them in any way, and to be honest it sounded better before I exported it haha Whatever! Enjoy!

Theme From Schindlers List

Three hombres with nothing to do between beers...

The Duck And The Goose

No lyrics yet, just a rough version of my favorite song to date.
The theme was punk rock so I kept it loud, fast and fun :D
Drums were added courtesy of Steve Kirton and his V-Drums, still not a real drum kit but it sounds a shite load better than the GP6 drums I was programming and they're so much easier to record. Steve would probably like me to mention we rehearsed this for a grand total of five minutes before he smashed it out in one take. Good kid.
The title refers to the theme of the song, which may or may not be about a local dj...
Probably worth noting that the cool sounding arpeggio harmony in the solo was an accident haha. I was trying to do a minor third harmony, but did it way to slow so the wrong notes synced up. I liked how fucked up it sounded though so I kept it!! Rawwwwwk!!!
Oh and one more thing...
I will most certainly NOT be singing this one!!! You're welcome!!! 

Hey you! You're a jerk!!

So this is the band version of it ain't so bad, and the result of 14 weeks in a proper studio. Indeed I did just hand this in to counter 40% of my Sound, Theory and Recording Technique assessment.
The track is an original written by myself except for lyrics, which were written and sang by the amazingly talented Ben Kelly, while the drums were tracked by the equally talented and amazing Freyja Hooper. A great big thanks to Ben and Freyja for helping me out, I don't think there's many people in second year that don't owe these two at least ONE favour.
