One of the first tracks I wrote when I was attending Art Institute and we were learning Logic and quantization. Was going for something really cheesy and wistful. Also, because it's in Cmaj, I didn't have to look at the keys when I played :P. Inspired by a friend and pizza.

2008-2009 Demos

We'll Go Together (2008 demo)

Another Art Institute demo in the Logic class. There was a specific electronic artist that inspired this, but the drums were waaay faster, like IDM. I had no idea how to do that, so I did this instead. Also in Am so I again didn't have to look at the keys...(I was learning okay!). The tone was inspired by the stress I had about presentations at the time.

Premonition (2008 demo)

The only track I consider a comprehensive piece from the Art Institute days. I forget what the name translates to. Something about my faith washed ashore or something like that. I was way into Italian things at the time and I asked my Italian friend :P. Was also way inspired by Ludovico Einaudi. A naive track, but okay for a first effort as a beginner. In Em cuz #sad and #Opeth

La Fede Che Va Alla Deriva (2008 demo)

So this was the centerpiece of a 3 part suite called La Coccinella, and the main motif runs through all three parts. I know I'm uploading old demos right now, but this is the only part of the 3 I'm willing to share. 

I recorded this after I had left Art Institute and was in my beginning year with Lethal Halo. My soon to be bandmates in My Mother The Carjacker had just started at AI and were the ones who recorded this for me! I tried to do it all in one big session, and I played all of the instruments. Parts 1 and 3 were done at separate times in separate studios with just Liam but you'll never hear it so HA!

Song was inspired by a friend at the time. I was also harsh trying to rip off "Spasimo" by Rezophonic. Thankfully the cringe-worthy Italian-everything worship ended after this era :P. Not that there's anything wrong with it...just how I was at the time lol.

La Coccinella Pt.2 (2009 Demo)

Fuck ya, MIDI. I made this when I was 17 and just was discovering Guitar Pro through a friend. The song was also written on his guitar. I also think this is the first song I personally ever wrote and I find it hilarious.
