Matin

I need to break my mental block caused by wanting only perfect results.
I need to do little quickies like this to help me accept imperfect results, which, once accepted, will then help me to work past bad results to finally get to good results.

I just played whatever came to mind and this is a one-pass unedited recording.  A bit sloppy but it seems okay.

Quickie

A remix I did when I was around 18 of a song from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest.

Bramble Scramble

My personal favorite among my remixes from video-game music.  Not sure it really fits perfectly into any one genre.  I tend to enjoy music that has a nice melody but with dark undertones, like in most of my originals.  Remixed from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest.

Hip Swamp Hop

A popular remix I did when I was around 18 or so.

Mines

My first remix, mostly as part of a way to get used to my new equipment at the time.  I hardly really remixed it at all, but with a song like this there isn’t room for much improvement.

Zeal Island (Chrono Trigger)

A remix of a video-game song I made when I was 19 or so.

Konkluded Epik

I composed, performed, and recorded these songs.
I intended to make a full song out of this, but finally it ended up as a moody piano solo.

Yoo (Lilting Melody)

I composed, performed, and recorded these songs.

The Cat (Mysterious.  A cat walks through a forest searching for the exit.)

The song is only half done.
The second half (not here) will be more of an up-beat jazz on the same chords.

Feedback appreciated while it is still in-progress.

My recording of Für Elise (Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor), by Beethoven, composed in 1810. It was not published until 57 years later, after Beethoven had died.

Für Elise

My recording of The Nightmare Begins (Vincent’s theme song) from Final Fantasy VII (live piano solo), by 植松伸夫 (Nobuo Uematsu).

The Nightmare Begins

My recording of Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor “Quasi una fantasia”, Op. 27, No. 2, 1st movement (Moonlight Sonata), composed by Beethoven in his early 30’s.

In my original recording I had hit some incorrect notes and even omitted a note in the bass.  In this recording I have corrected all mistakes.

I also took the photo of the moon.

Moonlight Sonata (1st Movement)

This is my favorite song to play on piano.
My recording of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor, S.244/2 by Franz Liszt, 1847.

Mallow's Opus

A remix from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, composed by David Wise.

Lava

An original I composed, performed, and recorded as a kid.  One of my first songs.

Egyptian Dance

Beat of Ages

Just a very simple quick composition to help me learn my tools and start to get back into composing.
All parts played live, no sequencing.
Drums played at all once in one pass rather than via layering.
A quick 10-minute practice run with no mastering etc.
There are only 8 looping bars.  Maybe someday it will become a real song?
