I absolutely love fall and winter weather. Here is my first track of the fall :D

What Once Was Lost

This was a bit of an experimental piece. The song is actually in no particular key as it is continuously changing as the parts move along. The song is somewhere between ADHD and a mental breakdown. And yes, the ending is meant to sound like it is skipping, I promise :)

Side note, the rabbit drawing on the picture is a current work in progress from the awesomely talented Amy Long. Thank you for letting me use this pic :D 

The Rabbit Trail

Since it is summer time I felt some inspiration to make a fun tune that is a bit different than what I normally write. Please let me know what ya think! I am hoping to have vocals coming soon.

Rainbow Sparkle Bottoms - Instrumental Mix

Here is a work in progress of a track I made using a Mellotron and a drum machine. Yum!

Skrrrr Pop Pop

Don't Snap Your Cap

So here is a track I created only using Reason and a Yamaha PSS-270 I sampled and picked up at a pawn shop for $15. Well that and my old Macintosh Color Classic computer from 1991. Props to whoever converts the binary code! The lyrics are as follows:

-----------
My heart is cold like solder, it needs to be retouched,
Your hands, they arouse me, but they are simply not enough.
(They are simply not enough)
(They are simply not enough)
I simply cant compute the ways that you have caused me pain. 
Not even 240 volts can bring life through my veins.
(Bring life through my veins)
(Bring life through my veins)


In this sea of dreams I am drowning, 
I am cast out without a rope.
No matter how far I swim, 
there is no sign of hope.
In this sea of dreams I am drowning, 
a hole now exists where my heart one used to lay.
I swim out to catch my life,
But life just drifts away. 


I travel the worlds in search of love, only to return,
Incomplete and ruined like a short circuit burn. 
(Like a short circuit burn)
(Like a short circuit burn)
To be fair you'd never know what you did to me,
But like my heart, I have shut down, quite indefinitely.
(Shut down indefinitely)
(Shut down indefinitely)


In this sea of dreams I am drowning, 
I am cast out without a rope.
No matter how far I swim, 
there is no sign of hope.
In this sea of dreams I am drowning, 
a hole now exists where my heart one used to lay.
I swim out to catch my life,
But life just drifts away. 

001110100010011100101000

In this sea of dreams I am drowning,
I am choking on despair. 
For when I needed you the most,
No, you were never there. 
In this sea of dreams I am drowning, 
a hole now exists where my hear one used to lay.
I swim out to catch my life, 
But life just drifts away.

Sea of Dreams

This is a demo track (sorry for the rough sound quality) from a concept album that is currently in the works. The newly added guitar section is from the rockin' Don Fahrny. The ending of the song is to suggest a kind of "too be continued" thing as there will be more soon! If you are a musician/singer and are interested in collaborating on said album, make sure to give me a shout! If you like this, or don't like this, let me know too, haha!

-NEWLY UPDATED 01/29/13- So the story begins...

This was originally back in 2010 and was one of the few songs to survive from the wiped out hard drive at the studio. The vocals and lyrics were done nearly impromptu by the wonderful Anna Kinder 15 minutes before her show that evening. Perhaps an updated version of this shall up on the album *wink wink*

Drifting Apart - Demo Version

This is a song I wrote a while back ago as kind of a tribute to Yann Tiersen and Philip Glass. There is not much of a background of the story of the song, I wrote it one day while I was just kind of staring off into the wall. I decided to upload for everyone to hear as it is one of the few fairly "completed" songs I've done.. I am kind of curious what people think of it. The only "layering" in the song is the strings, otherwise it is all one play through :D 

I think it is important to note (because I personally think it is pretty cool) that there is also an optical sound illusion in it that I put in there. It sounds like that beginning is being played the whole song (the one, two, three pattern), but it actually it is not being played the whole time. It works similar to if you stare at a dot for a while and then continue to see the dot after looking away, thus making the piece sounding more "complex" than it actually is. 

When We Dream (The Sound Illusion)

This is sort of a sneak peak/rough draft of the music to come. The ending of this song leads into the next song I will be uploading soon :D I was messing around with my new piano, let me know what you think!
