Still Fear

Throwback to the Viscerae days. A Bowie cover Michael and I did in junior year of high school, resurrected in honor of a legend.

I'm Afraid Of Americans (Bowie cover 2009)

Minds Apart

Slip

Idle Distance

Curtains

See This Thru

Hit Ground

Anachronist Anthem

This song is a joint submission from myself and my friend Damian Ortellado. We have written songs together for over a decade, finding time in our schedules to collaborate together in person. The COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted many things, big and small, that we used to take for granted. For Damian and me, the pandemic meant we could not write music together without risking the health and safety of each other and our loved ones.
Instead of collaborating in person for this song, we decided to collaborate remotely, relying on video chatting and instant messaging to communicate songwriting ideas to each other and using shared cloud storage to upload and organize our audio files. We built this song around a simple piano melody and took turns adding layers to it until we arrived at a result we were happy with. The song is introspective and hopeful for a post-pandemic future wherein everybody can go back to living normal lives again.
The song would not have been possible without the communications and productivity solutions we relied on to write it. This is a testament to the important role technology plays in our lives, especially now when work-from-home jobs are becoming increasingly common.
We hope you enjoy the song and will consider it for your hold music contest.
