The first of the songs set within my D&D Multiverse, Aether, contemplates the ubiquitous existence of the concept of the unknown. Time, space, thought, and manifestation are all challenged and recontextualized in a musical form. It's a pretty chill time. There are more songs that will build upon this expression.

The Multiverse of Aether

The Vast Unknown

Inspired by a fan created episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, focused on Vinyl Scratch. Created with Sonivox plug ins through Sony Acid Music Studio. Another earlier project of mine.

Vinyl Skratch

Thanks to the performers: Caroline Morse (alto), Chuan-Li Ko (piano), Kate Hummel (violin), Ben Bergey (viola), and Phil Cloutier (cello). Another thank you to all who have provided me with amazing and positive feedback. I sincerely appreciate it. 

Poem entitled "Behind the Smile" written by Darrian Thomas (myself) set to music by Darrian Thomas (also myself). Notated with Finale.

Behind the Smile

Using an atypical (for me) chord progression, I developed a few variations on a theme, experimenting with both new pattern ideas and editing techniques. Made with Logic Pro X.

Variations on a Theme in the Context of Exploration

Looking for a progressive vocalist to rap over this track. Made with Logic Pro X.

Yerba Lane

The smell of wood smoke lingered in the air in the wake of the cocktail's creation. A blend of bourbon and citrus melodies suffused the symphony that unfolded. And thus, on a free app in my phone, this piece was born.

Using my synth rig, I improvised over drum patterns in Ableton Live.

6.6 Improv

A life built upon anguish leaves little room for happiness until the kingdom falls.

Alive And Unbroken

I saw a 30 second video on IG about how to make a lo-fi beat. It didn't take long to reproduce the video, so I decided I'd do something else with it.

Lavender Cardboard

A person visited my life briefly, and I felt compelled to make this. It's been a while since I last made a song. It's curious to look upon what once motivated me to create.

This is a song for me
So I can know what I see in you.

I know that I just met you, that I don't know you,
But even then I know
That I've seen in what you've shown me something that could be
So beautiful.
I feel like I've been waiting and contemplating
Why I'm alone, but now
I know that maybe some day I will find some way
To feel at home.

This is a song for you
So you can know what is true for me.

There is nothing quite like you. It's really hard to
Put into words because
I could spend all of my time searching through these rhymes
And still not know who you are.
One day maybe I'll know you, but that can't be true
Because we're alone.
We're lost inside our own minds unable to find
A way to show who we are.

This is a song for everyone, so we can know that the sun
Will rise again.
