Pulse Width Modulation - Where Were You in 92

It's the sound of the 80's! Here's some custom sounds I programmed over the last few weeks on my latest synth, a Yamaha DX27, a 4-operator FM synthesizer from 1985!   I'm running the synth through an EQ and some reverb to warm it up a little, but I love sound!

Cloudwalk - Tragic City AlternaCon - Unmastered preview

Here's a free mp3 for you! A song I wrote and recorded in 2011, on an old cheap Alvarez Regent guitar (The first guitar I ever bought) with a really cheap mic (Either an SM-57 or a tabletop PC microphone, I can't remember!)  But I love playing the song and I need mastering practice.  In the future you'll hear more random tracks as a part of my Basement Tapes series! ENJOY!

Summer Song

In 2003, I recorded this tribute to one of my favorite bands from the 80's, Midnight Star.  I tried to capture that 80's technofunk breakdance vibe! Download it for free!
