Evolving exploration ambience and groove - possible for space-y type games.   

Ranging from moderately tense to inspiring, the full (08:50) loop includes mild filtered percussion and dramatic wavering strings giving moments of both.   

A good pairing for the beauty and terror of outer space.

Reality Countdown

I have spent so much time writing for specific projects lately that I needed to compose something just for art sake.   Something to refresh my soul and heal my spirit.  (and perhaps yours too?)

Those that know the composer Jonathan Elias (Requiem for the Americas, the Prayer Cycle, etc.) might 'get' what I was going for on this track.    One part beauty, one part mystery, one part production - mix till done.   ;)  

The beautiful voice is Francesca Genco (via sample pack)  She is fantastically amazing and am privileged to be able to add her magic to my own music!!  (Check out her new record! 
 https://www.facebook.com/francescalilacgenco)     This was my first experiment with her sample pack (https://soundiron.com/products/voice-of-gaia-francesca-genco), but I can see that it won't be the last.   I've barely scratched the surface of what is possible...!

'Tree Pose in Wind' blends bells and orchestral strings with a gentle choppy wind in a dreamy and somewhat pensive wash.

A fun and groovy straightforward rock piece inspired by space adventures and the fulfillment of lifelong quests.     Thanks for the inspiration @drchrispy!

Calling Me Home

Inspirational Soundscapes | Calling Me Home

Warbling hums and a wandering acoustic guitar combine with a bit of magic to create a warm and wistful musical texture.   This work features a meandering vocal daydream melody created by layering samples of acclaimed (and amazing!!!) tenor vocalist Bryn  [see http://www.bryanlanemusic.com/about-bryan-lane] from the 'Voices of Gaia' sound library.    It's unique and that's why I love it.

One part 1950s cheezy Sci-Fi Theremin-y ambience, and one part EDM with Hip-Hop overtones.   This fully loopable track is great for shooters, platformers, and fighting Martians...!

An instrumental revamp of 'The Long Winter' by one of my favorite bands from Pittsburgh, the Affordable Floors. 

As a musician, you release your children in the wild and you never know what effects it has.   If you are popular enough, you might get a letter or email, but for most of us that don't sell millions of copies, it's blind faith that somewhere out there - some folks are hearing the music on Pandora or  Spotify or whatnot and maybe - just maybe - they dig it.   Perhaps they came to shows, bought a CD, took it home and it changed their lives...

I have every album the Affordable Floors (the first, actually originally on cassette!) released on my mp3 players/ipods/etc.  (despite the fact that they voted against us in the DVE local bands show at Graffiti - but that's another story)  Their music over the years has provided me with literally countless hours of inspiration and occasionally insight.    People don't say nice things often enough, so I wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks.   It made a real difference.    

Finally, I really love the hooks on their first record 'the Sounding' - the remake of 'the Long Winter' on the not-officially-released record company version was quite different and, while catchy in it's own right, for me it was just less memorable.   This version combines my favorite bits from both with a nod at the end to my favorite Mike Keneally CD... because!

So, any guitarists / vocalists want to finish this up and release it?    Cause, I do.
