The Incident

Goddess

Evil Eye

I've been working on a database that understands musical concepts and is able to compose music.
Once my database was "ready", I ran the stored procedures to generate a few fragments of music.  Piece 18 (the 18th fragment of music generated) sounded pretty nice to me.  This is basically the piece as is.

I have imported the MIDI data straight into Studio One, made it loop twice (stopped a little short of the full patern on the second pass).
Chose a decent instrumentation for the 4 voices
Moved some notes an octave up or down to fit the range of the instruments.  Hope you like it!

(That is unless you want to leave a tip for my mountain dew fund!)

This is a track I themed in The Shannara Chronicles, really great music in that series, definitely has influenced some of my recent writing style, so has the show dark matter, great show as well.

Betrayal

Known for his eclectic approach and dynamic song structures, Thomas’s music touches on an authentic style that shares equal parts originality and familiarity, giving his audience a taste of something fresh yet still identifiable and relatable. His music is self-expressive, inspirational, and is designated to hit home where the heart is within every true music fan.

Sometimes

You n Me feat. Christina Flood

Okay.  This one is a real treat!  In the 1990’s Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and his partner Andy Sturmer formed the band, Jellyfish.  And even though the released on two albums (including the first album with Jason Falkner--who I talked to on the podcast several months ago), they never managed to meet their commercial expectations. Which is insane, because their second album, 1993’s Spilt Milk is, in my opinion, one of  the greatest power pop albums released over the last 50 years. Seriously.  Since then Roger has played with Beck, Roger Waters, Jay-Z, Johnny Cash and more. He also wrote music with Brian Wilson. We’ll talk about that, Jellyfish, and about his new band, the Lickerish Quartet. They’re about to release their first Ep this week entitled “Threesome Vol 1”.  Super jacked up about this one.  Enjoy!
