Under The Sun

Short freehand piano piece with an inspirational speech by Jim Carrey.

Jim Says

Throughout my childhood I was highly influenced by cinematic and choral music which allowed my vivid imagination to roam free. 
Later in my teens I moved forward into metal and dark dance music which took me on deeper and darker journeys.
This song has been sauntering around my thoughts for quite some time and I am pleased it has finally manifested ater weeks of structuring. It is a homage to those days of old and I hope it takes you on a demiurgic journey also.


Instruments Of The Masquerade

Unmixed and soon to be fixed. Recorded 4 beats on top of each other and putting the track out there to see if there is some love for it. Will create more with more thought if there is an interest. Cheers!

I Beat Myself

Latest track after having my gear stolen 6 months ago. Would love to hear your opinions. Enjoy.

Where Waters Run Deep

My latest orchestral piece using garageband.

The Tears of Enki
Once consumed the Earth
Has the time come
for yet another purge? 

The Tears Of Enki

Well it's been a rough couple of years
For most of my friends who are losing theirs
So I'm writing this while you're still here
To let you know how much I care

Cause when the time comes and you're gone
I'll be happy knowing you've heard this song
I know I've been a burden through these years
But through it all you've lent your ears

Father don't go
I'd be lost for many years
My rock, my friend, always with me to the end

No matter what I do you were always right beside me
When I head off road, you were always there to guide me
You are every man's man and the jack of all trades
You're a writer and a fisherman, a carpenter too
Oh you're a lover and a fighter, I am me because of you

So I'm proud to call myself your friend
Yes I'm proud to call myself your son

Father don't go
You'd leave many behind
You're my rock, my friend, always with us till the end
Don't go but when you have to in the end
Know this, your love will be with us till the end

When you leave this world behind
You'd have touched a thousand lives
Our rock, our friend, always with us till the end
Know this, your love will be with us till the end
Oh know this, your love will remain with us
Till our end
