Updated version for the extended August 19th deadline

Live It -ft. Julia Ross

My submission for the Kaskade: Human + Machine contest. Used stems created in Soundful then modified and rearranged them. Added my synth sounds and worked together with Julia to bring it to life with her awesome vocals. Ended it with some live funk guitar in the outro.

Wish You The Best -ft. Julia Ross

My take on the classic tune from the SNES game Donkey Kong Country, (Composer is David Wise). To try and create an aquatic soundscape, I included some sound design elements like pitch-shifted bottle blowing and bowed string melodies to mimic sea animal calls. Also features some live violin and erhu.

Aquatic Ambience

An original Christmas/holiday tune I wrote, arranged, and produced. Lyrics were co-written with Trey Bruce. Vocals are by Steve Waddington.

A Holiday Like This

Lush vocal melodies and a hypnotic dance hook. A blend of nostalgia, euphoria, and modern production.

Ross Casey ft. Julia Ross - Go With You

Anime Dreams

Here's a sample of some celtic music I just wrote recently. It's my first attempt at dabbling with this kind of music. Feel free to leave your thoughts, opinions or feedback. I recorded the viola and violin parts. Thanks to Taylor for playing the cello and Brian for helping with the mixing and mastering!

Road to Balnagown

A dreamy, cinematic, ethereal and contemplative track with perpetual waves of cyclic piano melodies and haunting strings. Gentle intro then builds to intense emotions with light industrial percussion and airy ambiance.
