Michael Mann called, he wants his 80's soundtrack vibe back...

Hand drums, trap hats, spanish guitar, sax, smooth.

Miami Vibe

Dual reverb drenched guitars, sequenced beats & tasteful, E-minor tom-foolery dance all over the fretboard for your listening enjoyment.

Inspired by Radiohead, A Perfect Circle & Big Milk. 

In fond memory of friend & fellow musician, Lucciano.

Beside The Fire (Gazing at My Shoes mix)

A warm, waxy crackle tastefully enhances the experience of arabic harmonic minor bass licks against pumping tribal rhythms. 



Elevation (Hot Wet Wax mix)

A droney, solo bass guitar opens up this mournful sounding piece until subtle, spanish textured guitar licks caress the space between the groove of the bass and impressively tribal rhythm of sequenced beats.

As if Godsmack were in leagues with Tool conspiring to conjure a Metallica-esque march off toward alchemical crescendo, this demo is worthy of a live intimate performance at a place near you. 

The End of Time (Last Guitar on Earth mix)

Droney intro with a heavy build up and sudden death outro. 

Like running into something that goes bump in the night and forgetting the way home.

There's No Escape (Fangs Drawn Out mix)

I'm so insignificant, so insignificant

I can't, I can't ignore this chant
“I'm so, I'm so insignificant”
My hopes and dreams they cloud in doubt
No chance, no chance to ride this out

To ride this out
My dreams cloud in doubt
While I ride this out

Until there comes a time to
REDEFINE
To draw a LINE
In The Sands of Time

Have you given up?
Learned your lesson yet?
Do you recall, all your regrets?
Your regrets

It's so insignificant, so insignificant

The Grains Of Change slip through the cracks
I've come so far
There's no turning back
From the way I came
It's all the same
And there's nothing left
No, nothing left remains
Cuz it's all the same
No nothing left remains
Nothing I can change anyway

Until there comes a time to
REDEFINE
To draw a LINE
In The Sands Of Time

Have you given up?
Learned your lesson yet?
Do you recall all your regrets?
Your regrets

It’s so insignificant, so insignificant

My hopes and dreams they cloud in doubt
No chance, no chance to ride this out
The Grains Of Change slip through the cracks
I've come so far there's no turning back
From the way I came, it's all the same
And there's nothing left, no, nothing left remains
Nothing I can change anyway

It’s so insignificant, insignificant

A Vocal Sketch over Michael Grgas' original composition.

Insignificant (Scratching My Throat mix)

This powerful, beat driven sound sketch was originally created in Winter of 2008.

Pleasurable Treasures gained its name from the exotic, droney guitar chords that have an enchanting, hypnotic quality.

The programmed drums and clever take on purposefully off-synced guitars (used to create triplet guitars on the chorus without the need for additional tracking) speak volumes to the clever ingenuity of Producer Draven Midnight.


Pleasurable Treasures (Of Infinite Measure mix)

Let's turn the heat up with this steamy, soft-synth soundbed.

Inspired by Massive Attack's remix of 3 Libra's by A Perfect Circle (Tiling My Grave mix.



Slowly Burnt Candles (Drowning in Bass mix)

2 distinct drum kits power this pumping demo layered with a 1 track, live guitar take in what could be described as Melvins meet Ministry. 

Supressed Memories (Double Drumkit Beat Down mix)

Doomy, gloomy guitars matched with a thick and dirty bass guitar intertwine in a battle for the spotlight with 
 cleverly programmed & insanely exciting drums.

Imagine if you will a composition of Metallica's riff-magnitude combined with Korn's club thumping beats.

The drums being inspired by the witnessing of a live Dave Lumbardo performance at a Fantomas gig fronted by the infamous MIke Patton of Faith No More fame, 




Hollow Eyes (Insanity Plea mix)

Naughty beats, a la Danny Lohner/Puscifer influence. 

Think Nine Inch Nails meets Dr. Dre. 

What does the sound bring you closer to?

Rough, Dirty Synth Sex (Naughty Fun Time mix)

It's as if Marilyn Manson & Misfits have collaborated in a twisted scheme to take over the world!!!

Guest appearance of a James Hetfield-esque bridge & Tommy Lee inspired back beat push this track over the edge and to the point of no return. You simply must hear it!



Speak Your Mind (Do What You Must mix)

That's right, it's what you think it is. 

Led Zeppelin's hook from Kashmir in doomy, nu-metal form, pressed against a savory, so-cal hip hop backbeat. What!?!

M.C.s do this track justice. 

Lay your magic down on tape, cut a verse & share it. I want to hear!

 

Only In Kashmir (It's All in Your Head mix)

Remember to slur your accents!

A doomy Misfits meets Qotsa vibe emerges in this live jam. 

Read the back story behind how the session came to be and what's to come of it.

Hollow Eyes (Hard-headed Hangover mix)

Demo from 2002-ish. Sounds like minimal RATM meets TOOL.

Novus Ordo Seclorum

2001-ish demo. Dramatic, minimal, vampy rock. Straight ahead beat. Downtempo groove.

Draven Midnight
