Forms

I started this track with an atonal vocal effect that drifted between tones. This created an ambient noise bed that I then layered tonal sounds on top of, creating an unsettling chill groove. From there, I sent the track to Brian Nutwell to add his signature guitar work to, while I worked on some synth solos that might work. His guitar tracks came back and I did my usual re-amping and rearranging of the parts to end up with what you hear here - ambient rock?, heavy chill?. You decide.

Persia is another tune from the late 80's. The guitar overdubbed version of this was used as background music for an instructional video at work. This version is me taking solos on keyboard. Again, I was merging various song ideas into a single flow.
Lisbon Nights was conceived as a TV theme song.

OK... That Was Weird

Serenity (Unbard's Short Mix)

A final Mystic shows Shayla her new future.

This chord progression has been running through my head and fingers for about a year now. It was time I did something with it. This track features electric guitar tracked live by me. This mix omits the third (dance) movement.

For the music nerds, this includes sounds from Skanner XT, Stratocaster, Vocalise 2, Magnetica, Rounds, Keyscape, Arturia Solina, Kontakt, Lacrimosa and misc. samples.
