I love how this piece turned out and it was really fun to compose although challenging at times. I wrote this piece in a few sessions over 5 days and the whole time I had the idea in my head of somebody pondering an important life decision and what to do. The music aims the idea of that at the listener as does the questioning title "What Would You Do". There are a few quirky turnarounds at the end that I am really happy with and it adds the drama to the finale that i was really hoping to capture with this music.

What Would You Do

This was a very spontaneous piece i wrote and recorded at my house in one afternoon. I chose the name "Fragments" because this music has a very meaningful sound to it and meaningful too are the fragments that make up who we are :) 

Fragments

You can buy this music on www.Bandcamp.com This piece was written about the story we all have to tell as to why we are where we are today. I was trying to get across a lot of emotion with this piece as i always do and i decided to make the video of me playing my guitar parts for this instrumental for everyone to see which is on Youtube :) :) I hope you like my music!

Stories

This instrumental is the result of my last six weeks of trying to come up with something different and powerful sounding. I really like how this one has turned out as some of it was improvised and played purely in the moment. 

I decided to call the tune what i called it because it felt very mesmorising to me when playing it and almost put me in a trance XD

Everything's In Colour

I wanted a powerful sounding guitar lead over a nice chord progression for this piece and i think i've achieved what i had in my mind; there is a little improvisation in there too!

Seeing

The idea i had in my head for this song started with a melody which i then worked out on the piano and liked so much i had to do something with it. The title is referring to a light seen in the distance and the wondering of what it is; that's what this music really made me think of often whilst i was writing it :) 

The Light

This is an instrumental I wrote a long time ago and recently I decided to have it professionally recorded for everyone to hear. Listening to this music makes me imagine I'm searching for something that's hard to find, which is where the name for the music originated from! :) Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!

Things Forgotten

Hi everyone! I am a musician living in Devon, England and welcome to my music, hope you enjoy it!

Soundcloud is a place for me to share all of my original compositions with everybody and i hope you all get as much out of them as i do.
I play guitar and piano mainly and from this date forward (March 2014) all of my pieces are going to be professionally recorded by someone else so i can devote more time to actually writing the music :)

There is nothing I would rather do with my time than compose music and if you would support me by subscribing to my Youtube channel or listening to my videos on Youtube I would be very very grateful :')

I am willing to let anybody use my music for other videos/projects as long as I am credited for the use of my music and i would be honored if anyone wanted to use some of my pieces. Just promise to send me a link so i can have a look at your great work too :)

Any feedback on my music is greatly appreciated :)
 
My facebook page link is below if anyone wants to ask me anything or discuss creating new music with me or using some of my music.
