2013-03 (Nano Studio Demo)

"What You Want" written in 2003, is the 1st tune I worked on after leaving New Republic and you can tell I was a bit angry at the time. Prior to working on this tune most of the songs I worked on were mostly liquid funk inspired and upbeat.  This was a total 180 from that vibe and was a very literal response to the feedback I was getting from the crowd.

What You Want

"Other Life" also written in 2003, represents the most fun I ever had making a D&B tune. I just threw my self into it for a week and had a lot of fun programming drums, finding all the samples and coming up with an obnoxious bass line/lead synth. It was also the shortest and most concise D&B tune I had done at the time and I loved how it didn't have an atmospheric "drop" and then repeat section.

Dub Step Inspired Pop song. It will eventually become a Marqui Adora song. Just uploaded this one to test out the site.

Slow Motion Love Song001

Made this one playing around with Nano Studio on my iPhone. A very rough mix, will move this over to logic eventually to polish it up. Simple and minimal bass tune.

NS-003 (rough draft)

Messing around with Figure on the iPhone. Testing out the updated post to sound cloud feature. Think I'll do some more of these.

Lunchbreaks No. 1

Another fun jam from the Figure app. I think I'll keep this going.

Lunchbreaks No. 2

It's official I'm on No. 3... guess it's a series. I think I'll make this a new habit to jam out of Figure on my Lunch breaks and continue to post the results here. I'll take some of the best ones and see if they can be fleshed out into more than 30 seconds worth of music.
