Did a challenge from a songStuff forum and this is the result.  Took 3.5 hours from start to finish.

Trying to learn some new techniques in regard to synth and drums.

3 Hours Til' Home

Another song I made based on a writing prompt.  I started with that hit snare and based everything around that.

I'll Be Out In A Minute

One of my first synthwave songs.  I built it in 3 hours from an internet prompt (I believe it was to write a 4-chord song).

Not Without Me

My adaptation of the song "The Wellermen" done as a sort of dirge.

Dirge Of The Wellerman

This is the second of 4 songs I produced for the Rhythmica LIVE! game for the PIZZAJAM on Itch.io

The game itself blew me away on how well it was done, let alone the 7 days time limit.  The song itself has a little bit of pop & electronic/synth going on.  I feel like my melodies are a bit better on this one.

That Place I Know

yeahhh....I guess I made a cover of Bye Bye Bye by N'Sync.

This is the 4th of 4 songs I produced for the Rhythmica LIVE! game for the PIZZAJAM on Itch.io.  The game itself was fantastic so a big shout out the the PizzaJammers cause they made that thing come to life.

Bye Bye Bye (N'Sync Synth Cover)

Just a little chiptune song I made randomly.  Wanted to try out a chiptune using no drum/beat where the notes provide the percussion.

The Clone

This one started as a loop I made for the Calculation Game on itch.io.  I know I wanted to do something bigger with it and this was the end product of that.  Probably my favorite one so far next to Bye Bye Bye.

I recently had this remixed by Elliot Keonig at Hear No Evil Studio.

5North to Oakland

5North To Oakland

This song was made for a game called 'EEEE' for the 1-button Jam on itch.io.

Hiding The Path

I feel like I am starting to get a good idea for certain things that are in my wheelhouse.  This is kinda my ADHD jam with a little European techno in the middle.  

I had someone reach out to make a song for their game and wanted something similar to a Starfox flight level.  They liked my Bye Bye Bye cover song and I went about trying to meld the two styles.  This is what came from that small prompt.

The Flight

I always have some kind of ethereal texture working at some point in my process and this is the latest one I made.  Reminds me of lying on a blanket as a teenager and looking at stars and only finding one of the two constellations I knew (Orion and one of the dippers, I don't know if it is the little or big one).

Searching For Constellations [Ethereal]

This one started out as a sub-track for a game that didn't come to fruition much.  I liked the main theme so I turned it into a full-length big synth song.

Rising Tide

The Rising Tide

This is the opening menu scene for the Aero Eternity game created for the "New Year, New Skills" game jam.

Although the designer didn't have enough time, I imagined a jet pilot preparing for a big mission by just relaxing on his jet with a cup of coffee just taking everything in.

This song is related to my other song "The Flight"

Daybreak

Felt like making a mellow track yesterday.  After it was finished, it felt like a moment I had years ago where I had finally let something that I had been holding onto in my entire life go finally.  It was a moment when my anxiety quieted for the first time that I could remember and I was able to slow down and settle for a time.

Letting Go

Scouting Mission

I made a couple songs for some projects in the Brackey's GameJam on itch.io and this one specifically for a death/horror style game.

It's simple but I liked how the two elements sounded together so I finished it up.

Is it Time?

Is It Time?

I made this as the big brother track to the Scouting Mission track I released a week or so ago.  If the original song was a team going on a scouting mission, this song sees that mission fail and them having to run away while everything around them burns.

Mission Failed

I made a few lighter tracks for a Jam game and ended up melding the two together for this song.  Its an ethereal mellow listen similar to something like the cinematic Orchestra (though I am not as good as they are...yet).

I used multiple atmospheric elements to overlay the keys, lead, and string lead and found a super deep bass that I loved when adding it to the middle of the song.

In From The Cold

New song.  

I used Kaiber.AI to create a video here:

This was a fun one as I am testing out new production techniques and synth-wave elements to try and fill out my toolbox.

The Lasagna Cometh

Song and vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNpcoSkjbcg

This one started as an idea for just the piano and synth arpeggios at the beginning.  I pitched it for a gamejam game but the girls wanted something else.  I ended up liking the theme and tried expanding it with a number of panning orchestral atmospheres and orchestral drums (haven't yet used them until now).  

This one also has three leads/arpeggios that play off each other so I am interested to know how those sound to others.

A curious Door

A Curious Door

This one is a bit different from the others I have put up.  The song itself combines two different ideas I created for different pitches for game songs (both rejected in favor of my "Is It Time" a few months back).  I liked how they sounded together so I expanded them and finished it up this last weekend.

For me, I had the feeling of Alan Wake / Control when making the intro and other parts of the song. I also have a tendency sometimes to just jam a song with notes and arpeggios but I wanted to try doing something with more restraint here.

Past the Tunnel's End

A song I started last week and finished last Sunday.  I tried my hand at a basic techno beat and rumble and worked up to some other elements I am trying to riff with recently: mid + hi arpeggio lead, slow bass, power synth chords.  I showed it to my son and he thought it sounded like someone was running from a monster leading the the name and theme.  Threw a quick motion video together from kaiber.ai and looped it to post on youtube/instagram.  Fun times.  Moving on to the next one.

Escape From Atlantis

A breakthrough at Project Jupiter gives humanity extended hope in the fight against the unknown calamity.

For this one, I had built a chord progression a while back that then went forgotten.  I found it as I went through my idea stack.  I have been researching layering techniques and decided to use this progression as a way to test the new techniques.  This, in combination with wanting to try out making a chillwave song, led to this result.

Breakthrough at Project jupiter

Breakthrough at Project Jupiter

Back from a little vacation and wanted to explore some guitar sounds/techniques.  This one felt quicker than some of the others I've posted.  I finished most of it in a day but it sat waiting for me to get back from my little road trip.

The song sounded kind of deserted-y and roadish to me like someone was hitchhiking down a lonesome road.  I ended up going with the "my crap car finally gave up and I just need to leave it to its fate" motif (something I have personal experience in).

Left Behind

This started as a group of 5 loops, all increasing in intensity, for a game made for the pirate game jam on itch.io.  

I really loved the hook when I made it and I knew I wanted to use it in something but it sat alone for a few months as just 4 bars and a basic drum track while I worked on other projects.  I felt like doing a boss battle theme and decided to finish it up when the opportunity for the game jam appeared.

Evacuation: Cascade Imminent

This started as a small mini-theme for my Instagram and I expanded it for a minor release.  I was working on creating a synth-wave template for Ableton and, because my brain doesn't allow me to not make something when exploring new sounds, this is what came about.  I still haven't made the template. 

I've been spending a bunch of time doing not music-related items (research, technique tutorials, etc) and it's been more difficult to focus on releases now that I am trying for social media content.  

Gotta try to find that balance.

Taking It In

New track - The Cold.

Darker, sadder piano theme.
