I really should add lyrics to this one. Fun little jam I put together to remind me of the summer I guess. It was a good one.

Summer

I wrote this song originally as a Bossa Nova piece, as a project at a jazz camp I attended over the summer.  I wanted to redo it as a more contemporary rock/pop piece.  The song is dedicated to my girlfriend, who's middle name is Lily.

Lily's

Rainy Ballet

Made with GarageBand mobile, just to test it out

Nintendo Days

To be honest, this song started with me just messing around, but it grew into something that actually just completely took my breath away. The name, translated, means "Through Hardships to the Stars" which is something I live by. Please enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Per Aspera Ad Astra

*She has finished the lyrics and decided on the title "With Me"

I made this as a challenge to my lovely ladyfriend, for her to write lyrics to this tune.  Once that happens and she gives me a title, well then obviously I'll change the title appropriately. Enjoy!

With Me

*Re-uploaded. Wanted to fix a few things with quantizing and whatnot.

I think this was like the second song I made. I wanted something reflective, introspective. Something hypnotic and almost ominous. Hopefully I achieved that in this piece. It take a while to build up but you get lost in the monotony of it to even realize. Then come the drums...

Reflections

*Re-uploaded, wanted to fix the acoustic guitar with quantization.

I came up with this idea when flying back to Boston after visiting my family at home for a weekend. I wanted to create a ballad to emphasize my feelings about leaving home, and how you gotta let it go. You gotta let it fly.

Let It Fly

Stepping out of my comfort zone and taking a shot at Trance, a genre that has always fascinated me. No mixing effects were used as I'm still not all sure how this works...Completely engineered on my iPad!

Feel The Waves

With the help of my trusty drum machine, I concocted the melody you hear as well as the chill drum beat.  The rest was done in Logic Pro X.

Cool Down

So my name is Sean Stec, I'm from a nice little town called Rockville, located in Maryland. I am hard of hearing, but despite that, music has always been my biggest passion, and I'd love to share both the music and the passion. I play drums, and some piano on the side nothing too fancy. I attend Berklee College of Music, class of 2017. I've played music for over 10/11 years, and I have recently taken up recording such music in an assortment of DAWs such as Logic Pro X and GarageBand, mainly. The tracks I upload are all originals, and are given life in either program, or both.
