This is a song I wrote in the Spring after upgrading my studio software.  The sounds are entirely from Native Instruments Komplete 7 - which I am loving so far.  I recorded and edited this song using Reaper.  So far I like what Reaper has to offer though they don't have a dedicated wave editor, which would have been nice.

Test the Reaper

I was having one of those days where little things just kept needling me all day long. There was nothing major that happened, just constant minor annoyances in my personal and professional life. It added up to one hell of a bad day. To unwind that evening, I fired up my studio and wrote and recorded this song. It took about four hours to create. This final version is barely a deviation from what I created that night. I hope you find it relaxing too.

Pool Pity (words by debbizo)

I'm learning more and more about my software.  I experimented with recording automation, and side-chaining in this track.  I like the results though It's a bit chaotic.  I hope you enjoy.

Correspondence Degree

This is one of the first full songs I wrote that I thought was worth anything.  It's changed a little through the years but I've mostly left it alone and really like it's retro feel.

Deme

I wanted to experiment with some sample manipulation.  This is the result.

Rust Belt

I decided that I needed to take a second shot at mastering this song which I originally recorded in 2008.  I think it sounds better.  Also, the ending has been shortened compared to the original and still may be too long.

Cnidaria

This song was named after my mood when I first wrote it, not the content or the mood of the song itself. In fact, it acted as a counterweight to my foul mood.

Cranky

This one took a long time to create. It changed significantly from beginning to end. I originally composed it on NI's Maschine as an ambient groove then created a full Ableton Live session. The biggest change occurred when I decided to add some vocals. It's been a long time since I worked with full vocal tracks.
