So, this is a track I created for a university assignment. Yeah... I'm not apologising. Logic Pro 9 and its wonderful software instruments were used alongside my PRS Brent Mason sig, recorded using my amp's DI/cab emulator. 

A lot of influence for this track came from Steven Wilson and his "Hand Cannot Erase" album. I'd previously never attempted "prog" before (I'm not sure this counts), so, naturally I added an orchestra and a Gregorian choir. The orchestral elements are drawn from the likes of the Destiny and Marvel movie soundtracks. Mixing classical and rock band elements has been an interest of mine since hearing Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" and I hope this is at least 10% as interesting as that is... 

Anyway, it's a thing with things and some thing in it.

Enjoy!

I Have A Proglem...

This track was born in an evening involving noodling incessantly, my laptop, some idea I'd just dreamt up and a moment of insanity. 

Again, this is some university assignment work. All of the guitar parts were recorded in an evening at home (see above) and the rest was added around those parts in something like 30 minutes the next day. Whenever I use software instruments, I almost always play them in using a keyboard. I make exceptions for crazy double kick drum parts and any synth elements that need to be exactly in time. 

So, this is a thing, I'm not sorry about the gratuitous guitar parts (including the solo) and never will be.

Enjoy!

Viami Mice - Master

My music tech coursework composition. 

I was given Chief Seattle's speech as lyrics and I had to create music and melodies for the 'lyrics' to fit to. 

This is what came of it. Everything except the vocals was sequenced using Logic Pro 9 and edited to make it sound more realistic. I think it works pretty well!
