This EP contains 4 original songs I've produced few years ago focused on "music for videogames". All these songs have a kind of "forest fantasy" athmosphere inspired on Brazlian folklore.  
Enjoy!  ^_^

Forget Your Sorrows

Reinfallen Chronicles Inglaterra abre una nueva etapa creativa con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum instrumental: AURA. The Path of the Balanced Spirit.

Este proyecto nace de meses de exploración musical, en los que fuimos experimentando con atmósferas psicodélicas, paisajes sonoros extremos y momentos de profunda calma introspectiva. Cada pieza fue concebida como un fragmento de un viaje interior, como si el oyente avanzara paso a paso por un sendero invisible que conduce al equilibrio entre caos y serenidad.

AURA no es un álbum convencional. Sus pasajes instrumentales atraviesan texturas que explotan en la mente como constelaciones fractales, para luego descender en mares de quietud meditativa. Es música diseñada para desarmar las tensiones, encender la imaginación y recalibrar el espíritu.

La obra propone un recorrido dividido en fases: desde lo frenético y desbordante, que rompe barreras sensoriales y empuja al oyente hacia estados alterados de percepción, hasta lo etéreo y relajante, que acaricia los sentidos y abre un espacio de contemplación. Cada instrumental es un umbral, una puerta a una dimensión distinta de la psique.

PROGRAM NOTE
A ‘glitch’ may be defined as a sudden, usually temporary equipment malfunction or irregularity, and it also means to suffer from such a malfunction or irregularity. In Glitch, my primary goal was to create a fun, highly rhythmic piece with lots of twists and turns, using a few extended techniques to emulate glitches in the musical tapestry. Each glitch interrupts the current section a couple times, triggering the next section. Glitch was commissioned by Joseph Rebman.

Glitch (Harp Solo)

This was my first track using a leitmotif, an extremely common technique in video game and film music. Basically you take a short musical idea and tweak and twist it and explore all kinds of variants of it until you've turned one idea into several minutes of music!

I really like the writing and arranging I did for this piece, I just found my production execution (as usual) to be a bit lacking. I was a little too aggressive with my HP filters because I was trying to free up maximum room for the bass, which really grounds the rhythm the whole way through.

Also most parts are recorded using a keyboard. I'm not a keyboard player so some of it feels a little sloppy despite my best efforts in editing.

All in all, though, it's the most complex and lush piece I've ever written and I hope you can enjoy it despite its faults.

PROGRAM NOTES
String Quartet No. 3 consists of five movements that explore “other voices,” either literally or figuratively. In a literal sense, this could mean speaking or singing in a way that is not considered normal or even out of one’s control. It could also mean speaking differently for a desired effect. Figuratively, “other voices” could mean a voice that is not one’s own. All five movements touch on these definitions in one way or another.

The first movement, Twist and Shout, uses musical patterns that sound like stuttering or someone who has a severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome. I use these sounds as a technical point of departure, incorporating jagged rhythms, erratic melodic patterns, and sudden volume shifts throughout the movement.

The second movement is entitled Poet Voice, and uses this style of reciting poems as a point of departure. In particular, this movement is based on a video of Louise Glück reading her poem “The Wild Iris,” which is included in a book of poems of the same name for which Glück won the Pulitzer Prize. Glück’s poem compares human suffering and finding a voice to the growth of a wild iris that makes a “passage from the other world” underground, despite the difficulty of breaking through. In the image of the wild iris, the explosion of color symbolizes new life. In this movement, I mimic Glück’s speech patterns and structure the movement around the sound of her voice and the content of her poem, essentially giving new life to her poetic reading. 

The third movement, Auction Chant, is inspired by North American auctioneering, which is a rapid-fire, rhythmic repetition of numbers and “filler words” spoken by auctioneers in the process of conducting an auction. This movement is also inspired by country fiddle music, which is a type of music often played in areas where auctioneering takes place.

In the fourth movement, Effects Pedal, I mimic sounds made by electronic effects pedals—and in particular, a vocal effects pedal, but without the use of actual electronic effects on the stringed instruments. I also use musical effects that sound somewhat like swallowing helium, which raises your voice when you inhale it, or sulfur hexafluoride, which lowers it.

The final movement is entitled Anthem. In this patriotic-sounding, yet slightly humorous movement, I weave together various sports themes and state songs from around the United States that are used to rile up fans at sports games.

String Quartet No. 3 was commissioned by The Indianapolis Quartet.
