I started working on this in real time at about 1am, the name is taken by the fact that I did not use a metronome and just went all out and played along with whatever came into my head.  So forgive me for the bad timing and bum notes every so often.  I've gotten sloppy with my post-recording production but I've tried to clean it up a little by panning some sounds to both speakers.

Out of time

Now this one makes me howl everytime I hear it - I think it's my really camp attempts of "MCING".

I created this one not long after I had finished my second year of college.

"Enter the realm of technologique" was inspired by the likes of Orbital and a lot of techno/trance ideas.

I'm not too keen on it personally, but it's worth a cheap laugh or ten!

Entertherealmoftechnologique

Vengeance: Dual of the fates - one of my favorites I've ever written/attempted.  This was one after colleged, I wanted to create a whole soundtrack of ideas, mainly for all sorts of genres and started off with this one.  This was heavily inspired by silent Hill, hence the chord progression, always love these chords/dischords and the drone notes of the E B & High E.

Orch-pizzicato - A basic concept I came up with to get me started.  Unfinished as you can tell.  But I really liked the simplistic idea behind this one, would make a good "thriller" soundtrack (I mean GENRE not Michael Jackson). 

ORCHPIZZICATO

An acoustic representation/arrangement of Dual of the fates - this was mainly to test out the chord/dis-chord progressions on acoustic should I wish to re-arrange and record the track.  Recorded through a headset microphone as I didn't have the equipment back then!

Duel of the fates acoustic

For the best part of this weekend I have been hard at working trying to write a track for film.  I ended up coming up with this composition, highly influenced by Silent Hill & some orchestral work to give it that "big hollywood" feel.  Okay, it's alony way off that but it is in the initial stages of composition and production.  I have a lot of big ideas to incorporate into this track, but I keep over doing it with Synth and percussion. Enjoy.  Work in progress so the completed track will follow in due course.

Silent Revelation test

Not too sure why I called this track Dark Desciple, it's not really that "underground" - As you can tell it's heavily inspired by Bron Y Aur Stomp by Led Zep, only more harsh.

Dark Desciple

This track is heavily inspired by Pinball Wizard by The Who and The Streets Have No Name (U2) - I'm sure you can tell! Never got to record anything further to it but maybe one day I will.

Untitled 3   Re-recording with metronome - EDIT

You'll have to excuse the bad timing and direction of this one, I didn't spend too much time arranging the composition therefore it's a bit of of sync and time. Oh yeah and I haven't mixed the individual sound levels yet of each track.  Had watched "The Gladiator" on TV the other day and this inspired me to come up with something.  Pleased with the initial idea but there's a lot of work to be done to turn this into a good track. And yes, there is a tiny bit of Desperado in there - about 20 seconds worth of Latin brass haha.
