Melodic idm with a somewhat ambient ending.

Crayon Eater

A mix of idm percussion, synths, rhodes, and some jazzy drums.  The harmonic structure is basically I-VI-V-I in A minor.

Lost Paracosm

This is a highly melodic track with some counterpoint in the somewhat tribal sounding part.  The Ganzfeld effect is worth reading about if you are unfamiliar with it.  I have used a simple sleep mask and headphones playing white noise for about 30 mins to induce it.  The hallucinations were pretty similar to dream material with less anxiety and confusion in my experience.

Multi-Modal Ganzfeld

I imagine that at first the space mission encounters difficulty, forces conspiring against the team.  There are moments of loss expressed by a Dmin6 chord.  Later a more peaceful, yet emotional, experience is had as the surviving members look upon distant gas clouds and other space phenomena.  Finally more challenges emerge when they arrive at their destination and have to complete the mission.  Fun.

Imaginary Space Mission

I have been playing around with ideas for music meant to be in the background of a videogame.  I imagine some sort of dark sci-fi game.  This is the first one I have completed.

Regine Olsen was the woman that Kierkegaard was in love with, but did not marry.  I listened to a short biography and was very moved by his life choices, even if I think he should have just married the woman and learned to accept the imperfections of reality.
