An ambient electronic instrumental. I named the song Machines because for the first time I took advantage of an algorithmic composition tool to help compose the song. It really is the melding of man and machine and I'm rather pleased with the end result.

Machines

A playful song that combines a silly synth riff but then melds into something a little unexpected with rock guitars and a wailing lead guitar.

Strings

Another electronic instrumental, not exactly a dance track but it has a good beat and some cool synth sounds, both futuristic and vintage along with two different strummed guitar parts.

Bright

This song includes a couple of 80s style synth sounds and reverse cymbals as well as more modern synths and drum beat.

Flow

A somewhat melancholy song that's almost a warning of what is to come with synths, cinematic style drums, and a few different piano riffs along with strings.

Stormfront

Another electronic instrumental, a little strange with an interesting bass line, guitar, piano, more synth and acoustic drums.

Waters

Another rare track from me with guitars as the lead instrument, just a little synth bass at the beginning and then some layered effects with the guitars later, and simple kick drum, shaker and cymbal. Think it turned out rather nice.

Pastures

An electronic instrumental piece, though not intended at the time I created it, somewhat reminds me slightly of Tangerine Dream's Love on a Real Train, but also with a modern beat with some great synth tones.

Drawing Board

Highways

A rare dance oriented track with cool synths, propulsive drums and more.

Pulse

Not the most accomplished keyboard player, self-taught, but I do enjoy playing and composing my own music, mostly because I can't read a note of music or play anyone else's. My particular passion is electronic instrumental music. Influences are Tangerine Dream, Patrick O'Hearn, Eddie Jobson, Tycho, Jon Hopkins, Ryan Farish, Ulrich Schnauss, Joey Fehrenbach and many others. Header Photo by Thomas Evans.
