Hello everyone, this is the first acoustic song i have written in a few years. Really pleased with how it turned out, i don't often write these warm happy songs. 
Created the background ambience myself with 2 lapping wave recordings, distant thunder, chirping insects and a distant crowd (something about the sound of a distant crowd always tends to make solitude sound louder to me).

I hope you like it! thanks for listening.

Silver Shores

Hello everyone, pretty excited with how this one turned out, i wanted to write a really heavy dirty electronic metal song utilizing a program i bought called oblivion. I'm really happy with how it turned out. The longer it went on the more Egyptian vibes it started to pick up which is why i called it Ra. Thank for listening i hope you like it :)

Macalla - Demo

Hello everyone this song was quite the journey of rabbit holes at the very start i wanted to write something really fast and aggressive, but wasn't having much luck so i was just mucking around on guitar trying to see what i could come up with and i discovered the riff that plays at 0:34 and initially when i first found it i thought this is a very bluesy sort of riff i wonder if i could write a blues song, and did some research and it seemed a bit out of my normal style so i kept writing then stumbled across the riff that plays at 0:23 and i was like oooo i'm going to write the THICKEST, FILTHIEST, SLOW, SLUDGEY song i can come up with, and that's how we got sludge :) 
Also i am still rather addicted to the electronic instruments that i previously used in Ra, i hope you guys aren't sick of them yet.

Thanks for listening! i hope you like it :D

Sludge

This was a fun track to make, it ended up being created using entirely the Avast program, which was a lot of fun and i've been meaning to use for a while now. At various points in this project i added drums, bass guitar even pizzicato violins but there is a purity and warmth of these instruments free from other layers so i kept it minimalistic, which is hard for me to do. haha.
Thanks for listening, bit different from my usual stuff but i hope you like it. 


This might be my most aggressive fast paced song i've ever written, really proud of how this turned out and how savage it is. Also i think the ending is really fun, the song starts to almost turn happy with the very positive sounding rocky riff before slamming in to a pitch shifted, tempo shifted break down. 
There also isn't really any repetition through this track, i could have reused some riffs and made the song longer but i think with how relentless it is. it works better short.

Thanks for listening, i hope you like it :)

Havoc

Hey everyone, fun weird track here. The main riff (which is the opening riff) has a really odd slightly off timing about it which is what inspired me to call the song marionettes, since it sounds janky and weird. I feel like this song also has some fun weird moments in it as well and some pretty cool riffs that i am quite proud of. Also i tried a new mixing technique which i think makes this one pop in a pretty powerful way. I hope you like it as well! thanks for listening :)

Marionettes

This track was a mammoth effort to create. initially setting out to create a warm retro 80s style synth wave song it took me a long time to find the instruments i wanted to use, adjust all the eqs etc to suit the genre in way. i learnt so much writing this song. The last few minutes of it were a bit more familiar to me ;)
I hope you like it, thanks for listening.

Neon Star

Hello everyone, this was a fun one to throw together, with some unique moments throughout. I added a new higher than normal synth to the layering in this song and i feel like it gives it almost a playful manic/happy feel while still being super chaotic and aggressive, which is why i ended up calling this Song Child's Play. Thanks for listening, i hope you like it.

Child's Play

Hello everyone, this one was a lot of fun to put together, pretty different from my other recent stuff i wanted to try and make something really rich in dark creepy atmosphere similar to some of my older songs like Beneath the Monster and Tyrant of Fear and Tragedy.

For this one the hero riff is the one i use at the very start then reuse in the dirty lead guitar for the chorus. I wanted to write the song to feel like big slow build ups to then plateau with that riff and i wanted to use other instruments to try and make it sound big, powerful, beautiful, sad and terrifying then like a cataclysm it wipes out everything and has to build back up again and it hits again like an inevitable cycle. 

I hope you like it! thanks for listening :D
