First crack at orchestral writing in Reason. 
Drew a lot from my favorite composers, including some outright stealing. But changed it up.... added new material and the result is what you hear. 



Orchestral Piece #1

Time can be stretched and manipulated to meet the needs of the artist. 'There is no death, there is just a change of our cosmic address.'

Alien chant for the coming of an alien dawn

I wrote this years ago, this is taken from a sample generated version.... not quite as intended, but it gives the idea. I envision children dancing to this. Mind you, with the use of odd time signatures and such, that might be a challenge. Jazz Upright, Piano, Vibes and Celeste. 

Dance

wrote this for a short film, that sadly never got past the editing table. Meant to accompany a short on foot chase, as the protagonist chases after someone who has just ripped off his bicycle.  

Bicycle Thief

This is one of my early tape pieces. Independently, myself and my friend Capone recorded a tape featuring guitars playing to a graphic score. I then presented this tape and the score to a Percussionist named Nick... who performed the piece "Live". This is the recording of that performance. 

Deluge

Inspired by the Jacob Collier vocal version.....must admit I tweaked it to make it more Trombone friendly. Didn't write anything i wouldn't try myself (including the fat pedals) but decided to write for Flugelhorn in the top voice as even on Alto trombone I am not getting there. 

Realized with samples....hope to record this live at some point.
Thanks Jacob for the inspiration.
