A jazz flavored chamber piece created to showcase concert harp, though it may be way too complicated... a common issue we run into when we compose in DAW. Composed and produced by Solo.

2 Being 1

An instrumental score intended to accompany theatrical dance, wherein the dancer portrays the life of a simple candle flame, from first match strike to final extinguishment. Composed and produced by Solo.

Matchbox Dancer

An instrumental score composed to depict 3 stages of organized religion, from well-intentioned transcendence deteriorating into corrupt institutionalization. Special thanks to Tory Slusher for her inspired guitar performance in the second stage. Composed and produced by Solo.

Charisma Chips

In the 21st century Age of Information, everyone lies, because they have no time for the truth. Composed and produced by Solo

Speculatopia

Composed in spring of 2010, a manic happy dance celebration of the return of later evening daylight, evening bike rides, and disabling the gas heater for the summer. Stomp meets Riverdance, with a Vangelis-flavored interlude.

Delirium Trimmings (2024 Remix)

Refurbished instrumental ruination... 2024 remix of a tarnished golden oldie from 2010. A harsh little number intended for listening at substantial volume, and good for primitive dancing if you can do so in 11/8.

Refurbished Atrophy (2024 Remix)

My take on Frank Zappa's G Spot Tornado, slowed to a leisurely 200 bpm for dialed back statistical density. Original appeared on the album Jazz From Hell, a curation of brilliant instrumental works from his Synclavier period. This version also draws from the arrangement performed by the Ensemble Modern on The Yellow Shark album.

G Spot Tornado (Zappa Cover)

A cappella nonsense (or maybe not) created with random lyrics and no instruments, except for a couple of synth percussive FX.

4. Black Despair

Praetorian was resurrected from the ashes of three local metal bands in the summer of 2008, with Max Jacob (guitar), Eddie Carrella (bass), and Dana Lengel (keyboards) joining together in an attempt to fuse their own musical influences into one cohesive sound. The first full lineup was finalized with the addition of Charlie Geiser (guitar), Frank Torre (vocals), and Mike Pascale (drums) in late 2008.

The band recorded and released their first single, “Fallacy”, in January 2009. 

After a considerable period of inactivity in the later part of the year, Praetorian added both Rohit Gupta (vocals) and Andrew Lachs (guitar) in January 2010.

Praetorian unleashed their debut 5-song EP, "To Dwell In Darkness", in June 2010. The album was recorded at Killingsworth Recording Co. with producers Anthony Lopardo and Ray Marte. The band will be playing subsequent shows/tours throughout the rest of 2010.
