This is my first upload to soundcloud. The mix is a bit muddled because I used free conversion software with five tracks on it. It is converted from guitar pro. it isn't a live recording however when I get the recording equipment I need I'll be re-uploading it as an actual recording.

The Abyss Floats

This is again a midi conversion. I don't like the sound quality either but I don't have the money for recording equipment right now. Take a listen and leave a comment and tell me what you think. Also keep in mind that most of the stuff I'll be putting up is stuff that I want vocals on. That is why they are more traditional in structure. Also don't wear headphones for this song, the first riff is very dissonant so it may catch you off guard if you are wearing them.

Glacier Fight

I wrote this after listening to The Painters Pallette by Ephel Duath. Check them out to but it has a Jazz flavor to it but it also still has shred aspects to it. I'm pretty proud of this song. Also this one is supposed to be an instrumental so there won't be vocals on this one.

The Jazzness

This is a midi but it is pretty close to how I want it to sound when I record it, it just needs better quality. 

Expulsion of the Iridescent

Despite its length this is one of my favorite tracks because of the syncopated riffing sections

The Brief Firing of Machine Guns

I believe the title is an apt description of this song. It is a bastardized sonata form song and the mood between many of the riffs are wildly different in tone. But I think it works well. Again it is a midi so the quality won't be the best. Plus I'm probably going to change that first lead since it was written more out of necessity than what sounded best.

Schizophrenic Sonata

This is the only song I have written on a six string guitar. The rest were on Seven Strings. It is also the only song that I have co-written with someone else. He'll remain nameless unless he wants me to tell people his name. He helped me out with the first riff as well as the drums in general. It is also one of the first songs I ever wrote back in March of 2011
