**Made in GarageBand on my phone, so please don’t expect the sound quality to be better than someone fooling around in the app.**

I wanted to write an instrumental piece that captures a feeling of anxiety and restlessness. Big influences for this are King Crimson, Megadeth, Voivod and more. Wanted to go for a kind of proggy thrash sound.

I play bass, but obviously all the instruments here are electronic. They are:

Guitar
Bass
Keys/Synth
Drums

I guess this could be called prog metal?

Bad Dreams

**Made in GarageBand on my phone, so please don’t expect the sound quality to be better than someone fooling around in the app with the basic virtual instruments.**

Kind of a jazzy all over the place piece that actually evolved from a song I wrote in a punk band. The only thing left untouched is the guitar riff in the verse, as everything else is now different.

Big influences here include Megadeth, Charles Mingus, Haken, Tool, and Alice In Chains.

Mirror Girl (virtual instruments demo)

Made using virtual instruments in GarageBand as a reference for an actual recording later.

Melancholic with a bit of a dark side before it gets heavy later on. Big influences were Alice In Chains, Jethro Tull, and Opeth to name a few.

Lack of Sleep (GarageBand demo)

I wrote this song to go with an odd tuning setup I had for my guitar. Influences for it are King Crimson, Tool, Soundgarden, and more.

Temper

This was originally a song I wrote for a punk band I was in, but only the chorus for the guitar and bass is the same. I slowly started moving away from the original and adding different bits. A friend said it sounded like "synth new wave punk metal" and I'll just go with that. Influences were Dead Kennedys, Green Day, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, and more.
