A favourite of mine, I had to put it on the machine with a sequencer with my own flavour.

Armstrong(PreVer1) (Let my people go(Go down Moses))

Piano and Trumpet: very short (just the essentials). A simple bit that reminded me of my teacher for some reason(who often composed and played piano at the school plays). A little too simple maybe?

School Piano(Free)

A silent heart, a foreboding sky as the teardrop will not form in his eye. As the others contemplatively take in the beautiful sunset the grim-faced Protipeus admires the storm on the horizon far beyond their field of view. 
"It's beautiful." she barely breathes absentmindedly.
"Amazing...," says he, turning to face her "the beauty that would touch our hearts were we but to stop and look."
She turns towards him just in time to catch a glimpse of a different kind of expression on his face as he turns to the sun. 
"Beautiful...Indeed." he says as his stern features are once again softened by the sun.

Protipeus Ponders The Sunset

One of my early attempts at making music, an old piece made mosty with soundfonts (yep that old!) Meant to be part of the scoring/soundtrack of an animation project which was never completed. Very, very rough. If the community does not hate it too much I will be tempted to make it properly.

Meet the Protipeus - A Holy Place (The Grand Revelation after)

House, made a long time ago and currently being cleaned up. That's why it is incomplete and unmastered. Will appreciate comments.
PS: as its unmastered, Don't even bother if your speakers don't go low

Loop the Loop (cloud)

This one has rich history. It started off as a student track, almost a piece of the basic bassline & melody as a loop remains to form the basis of this. The project file has mostly the same samples (minus all processing and reverb...). Shoutout to Mi Alma of Deep Hole. Too lazy to do.

Two steps forward, two steps back.

Missed Opportynity(cloud ver0alphab)

You like the piano in Loop the Loop? Heres a real instrumental. Early days yet though!


Still to be done (remove piano loops, make stradivari(violin) and gofriller(cello) play (dynamics and expression instead of monotones) and by dagnabbit the drums(always daunting -well- laborious). Also the strings are too bright, I haven't tried to position them in the same room yet.

I don't know what this genre is called but I do not actually consider it pop, I think of cats(memories) and other such. The piano is too small though.

PS: It does deserve a Steinway Model D of Yamaha CIIIFS instead of the little C3Neo it is on it (hoping to get Garritan Authorized Steinway Pro virtual instrument, not on sale anymore), still : half a loaf... 

Piano(Recollection cloud)

ver0 alpha had terrible filtering and processing, the strings sounded horribly synthetic and had some horrible noise and artefacts. If I had a premium account I'd have replaced the file and written an update or comment to that effect but here's the latest WIP of this song.

Piano(Recollection ver0alphab)

The Darke Arrival(Long cometh the brethren)

NOT mine! This is by Danny Elfman and is part of the OST for The Corpse Bride. In the movie it plays but is never completed, this caught my imagination and I decided if these two were to have completed it this is how it would be. I continued it from about 1:46. 
Note: This was just a scratch pad and I only did it to get a rough idea, there are no dynamics written into it.

Corpse Bride Piano Duet (M Maboea prealpha)

Serenity of the Protipeus

Uncomfortably straddling the line between commercial and deep.
(Just to see if sax could work)

sit'n@home

Corrupt Douse Louse(ver0beta)_2b

Unedited and unrefined. Just a draft, no dynamics or expression.

Flautiste (doodle)

Early Draft. I've muted some channel (drums cello, viola) so my idea is a little clearer. As things stand it is a little too messy to upload in its entirety. ...Oh, and no dynamics.

See The Minor (Early Draft)

A hobbyist 'musician' although that might perhaps be a bit pretentious. After all kicking a ball around does not make one a footballer nor does performing CPR make one a lifeguard.

I made this cloud profile because I have a lot of incomplete trax which people keep telling me to finish (you know who you are!). As a result most of these trax will probaby be incomplete drafts(at least in their first iteration in the cloud) and definetly unmastered. I hope for as much feedback as possible especially of the constructively critical and critically constructive variety. If any of these show even a glimmer of potential tell me and I will give them the tlc they deserve and with your help and suggestions I hope to give them the polish they need. (I cannot absolutely promise to agree with you though =-I am an 'Opinionated Amateur'-= :) )

Warning: My musical tastes are varied (almost schizophrenic) so just watch the genre you listen to in my trax.

PS: Thank you for taking the precious time out of your day to listen to my musical scribblings, It is truly appreciated and your opinions shall not be taken lightly. and if anyone has any music they want me to listen to, my amateur help on or a collab with me (time willing) I'm game.


Oh, truly enjoyed enough to humour me with some hard-earned?...
