Lance likes composing cinematic orchestral and or hybrid orchestral music, with the digital use of many types of instruments, heavy drums, and some electronic synths, guiding listeners to feel the interaction with nature and imaginations.

Current Genre: Hybrid Orchestra.

Aside from Making Music, Lance also writes fantasy.

For The Fantasy Series
This is a book series called the Legend of Thafts. This book series takes place in a world in Earth's orbit on the other side of the Sun. It is home to a variety of animals, including the main focus, Hybrids. What's very special about these hybrids are that they are bonds of unrelated species, whether normal or mythical. Some are physically defensive, others are not. In the end, all of them are born with powers that come from each element of nature, hence the identification, Elemental Hybrids. Each use their powers to defend their planet from outer threats.

THAFTS stands for The Hybrid Animal From The Stars. The most important hybrids of the book series are stellar hybrids, as the most major threat to look out for among the world is the imbalance between light and dark. This conflict can spread across all the other elements if not treated well. Two protagonists, morphped gecko twins, are some of the most advanced creations in the latest era who look upon and beyond the balance.

**IMPORTANT: I'm more active on Youtube, so I will not be as present on here as I used to be.**

I mess around in Logic Pro and create music. 
I tend to do Re-Scores either that be extending a piece of music or recreating it for a cleaner effect.*
