Recorded a backing track on my friend's Tascam DP-01FX/CD. He wanted a backing track to an Impending Doom song, so I gave it my best shot. Sequenced the drums with Hydrogen, recorded everything else myself direct to the 8-track. Since I didn't have a 7-string guitar, I just played everything up a 4th... but since the singer only howls anyway, doesn't matter what key it's in. Still brutal.

Impending Doom - More Than Conquerors (no vocals cover)

Little chiptune rock groove I put together. I could've added another chorus, etc. but I think it came out okay.

Chiptune Rock

Was jamming to The Cars last night, and decided to see if I could get the Roland Verselab MV-1 to replicate some of those sounds. This is isn't a full song, but just the intro and chorus of "Shake It Up" by The Cars. I'm still learning to use the Verselab. Everything you hear is using sounds on the MV-1. I might do a full song cover at some point!

Shake It Up (Roland MV-1 tone demo)

Not sure what to call this... it started as a funky NES chiptune, and kind of morphed into a techneaux/dubstep/art piece. Throw in some clips from one of my favorite movies, a little 808 beat, and there you go. Most everything is done with pretty simplistic square wave synths, nothing really fancy going on there. Hope you like it!

You Take the Red Pill...

Hyperdrive is engaged. Suddenly, you notice a glitch in the computer- you try to correct it, but it just gets worse. You hit the button to switch to the backup guidance computer- but gradually the malfunction affects it too. Thinking a reboot will help, it seems okay, but eventually the errors return. In desperation, you frantically hit the emergency breaker to link them together to possibly save yourself from drifting in space forever. And then...

Hyperdrive Malfunction

Testing some synthwave presets on the Roland MV-1. This isn't a complete song, but will eventually become one.

Synthwave Project

Emerging from the asteroid Belt, Jupiter's frozen horizon comes into view. Swirling among the clouds, you can make out the remains of a long-abandoned space station lazily drifting in orbit around Ganymede. None that have landed as explorers have returned with their sanity.

Maybe this time will be different.

Ganymede Rising

Cold yet beautiful, orderly yet chaotic. Razor thin, thousands of miles wide. Brightness and darkness encircling the foreboding gas giant.

All sounds come from the Roland Verselab MV-1, with sequencing, automation, and post-effects in a DAW (Ardour 5).

Rings Of Saturn

A stupid little track I threw together using audio from video of a laser beam surfacing metal:

Lazor Dubstep

40 days in the wilderness. Spice is running low.
Are you seeing things, or is it all in your mind?

Desert Of Temptation

I recorded this piece with a nod to the Pink Floyd song "Sorrow" and through music, we can express things words can't.
