Week 1 - "Sewer"

Sometimes I like to compose music based on an imagined landscape, this piece takes place deep within a dank sewer filled with creatures that have never seen the light of day. This track features monster noises and water drop sound effects made with my voice. One day I'd like to compose similar works to put into a video game.

Sewer

This track was a bit difficult for me to put down. I wanted to write some lyrics to it, but couldn't settle on anything that I liked, so I am setting it free into soundcloud.

Dream Pop

Sometimes, I wake up much too early with a desire to write music. There are times where this inspiration has led me to some really great material, and other times I just feel like a crazy person by noon. This track is one of those "crazy person" tracks that I just have to let go of.

Even in Arcadia, there I am. 

This is a solo piano piece that I composed for a production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.  I've lost the original recordings of it so I had to re-capture the feelings and melodies in a way that I felt does the original piece justice.

Losing the original piece and re-making it again really touches at one of Arcadia's concepts: Nothing is lost to time forever.

"We shed as we pick up, like travelers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it."

Et In Arcadia Ego

This account is where I will post 1 track per week in 2019 to document my progress as a composer and producer.
