"Hope & Dreams" made exclusively on the Roland JD-Xi.

Hope & Dreams

Here is my first attempt of an ambient new age song with some unique syncopation.  I have always wanted to create something in this genre since I love listening to artists like Enigma, Vangelis, David Arkenstone, Enya, Kitaro, Yanni, Ryan Farish and others.  I know this piece comes nowhere close to what they have made, but I had a lot of fun making it and I am sure I will get better.  This is the main reason why I wanted the JD-Xi.  I know it was designed to create EDM but I know that it is more than capable in creating new age music.  I hope you enjoy!

Dark Skies

A piece influenced by the horn like sound in some of the recordings that Vangelis made.

Synthetic World

I am re-posting this song as I am still learning the ins and outs of Audacity.  This now has more dynaminc range and amplification was boosted a smidge since the original was a bit on the quiet side.

This is a work in progress while I learn how to record track by track with Presonus Studio One.  Still figuring things out and I hope to add more to this once my Korg Minilogue comes in.


Pushing Through

This is a work in progress while I wait for my Korg Minilogue to come in.  This was done in one take....there are a couple of timing issues...but good enough for me to listen to and figure out what to add to it...especially what to call it!
