A selected compilation of some of my completed works, with the first being created and released in April 2021. (Ordered most recent at the top)

Songs and Demos

Cool track I started three days ago.

A small weekend project idea I had that is quite heavily inspired by some of Alan Wilder's music. My main goal for this project was to practise sound design and production, hence the lack of melodic content—might add lyrics in the future. Composed on GarageBand for iOS.

Lyrics:

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move, you just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map, believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heavens in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes

World In My Eyes (Depeche Mode Cover)

So lies the life that you want to live
With junk and girls and all God can give
Well, I can give it too
I can dream for you

The lullabies of God sing to you
The stars revolve around over you
Far and far away
In the clouds you lay

No, I don't ever want
To hear of you complain
That anything I give
Is not enough
And I don't ever want
To hear you speak of pain
When all you've ever lived
Is more than life
Is more than life
Is more than life

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want too?

The boys, they want to get a good ride
The girls just want to have a good time
Love and lust for all
Pleasure never falls

So lies the life that you want to live
And all the godly things man can give
Well, love can give it too
God can dream for you

Do you ever want to
Experience these pleasures
When all your little plans
Are high forever?
Do you really want to
Live a life of pleasure
Where my one living cost is
The pain to love her?
The pain to love her
The pain to love her

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want?

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want?

More than life
Is the pain to love her
It's more than life…
…The pain to love her

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want?

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want?

We can be
High in the sky together
Just you and me
Yeah, that's what I want
We can be
High in the sky forever
Just you and me
Is that what you want too?

More than life
Is the pain to love her
It's more than life…
…The pain to love her

What You Want (Demo)

Inadequate

Lovers (Extended)

Multi-instrumentalist; spanning through single-reed woodwinds, guitars, basses, keyboards and drums.

Also a songwriter, composer and producer.

Best in genres such as dance-rock and synth-pop, with a slicked gothic approach to music; attempting to create a profound, energetic, broad sound that represents a view of many of the world, with of course, variation to other genres and moods, namely for example upbeat synth-rock or downbeat ambient.
