The energy in this track is impressive. Very nice arrangement. Like it

You are truly truly talented. I am now a fan ^_^

The back story is cool and this track is stunning. There's so much passion and drama in the piano and guitar. The pipes are divine.  Thanks for posting this masterpiece.

Fantastic atmosphere, full of magic! I enjoy it much!

For a song called “Sadness”, it got a little funny along the way.  I heard this song over at Gemma Cao page @psychological_music and was inspired to do an alternate mix of it.  So I did a quick mix, which mostly just added a beat and emphasized the bass, and then I sent it over to her for a listen and her thoughts.  She thought it sounded good and said to go ahead and post on my page.  I was thinking I was hitting upon something unique.  So I took that and expanded it and added a piano intro and interlude and tried to improve what I originally did.  But then I looked back at her original post https://soundcloud.com/elizabeth-cao-864001417/the-2-min-track-i-gave-to-brian-progeny-1 and this time I READ THE TITLE.  Hmmm.  I think I better go over to Brian’s @progeny-1-617773258 page and see what’s there.  And sure enough there is an alternate mix there too.  Doh!  Yes, but Brian’s version is fantastic.  Give it a listen https://soundcloud.com/progeny-1-617773258/sadness-gemma-n-progeny-1  Brian’s is much more developed and interesting than my mix, which is a little more laid back and traditional.  (Whatever that is?)  Oh well, I must learn to read things more thoroughly

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.
