Assorted Tracks

+

Sometimes web playback doesn't work in apps so I don't really + have a good place to show my music to people… so this is it!

+

These are all just scratch recordings I made for myself. Some tracks + are accompanied with text. Others are not. They're all instrumental + and most are also mostly improvised.

Untitled No°1

+
+
+
+ + Poem (CW: suicide) + + 
+I step into the ocean.
+An unending blue, a scene serene.
+I hear nothing but the waves.
+
+I walk in deeper.
+The cold water tickles my chest.
+I put my head beneath the water.
+I scream.
+
+I stand back up.
+Water runs down my face.
+I can't tell which are tears.
+
+The world looks the same outside.
+Everyone standing, playing, happy.
+The pain is still here.
+And I struggle what to do.

Unspoken

+
+
+
+ + Poem + + 
+My fingers say what words cannot
+Chords I play when I'm distraught
+A heart that aches
+A hearts that's broken
+Say the words that are unspoken
+

Terraforming Spring

+
+
+
+ + Track Details + +

This track was a lot of fun. I was still early days at the drum + machine so its got very little variation in velocity and stock + samples… but I think it adds enough color to the track. The panning + tremolo effect was added in the DAW but the rest is all recorded + from my DigiTakt (drums), Alesis Micron (pads), Behringer Model D + (bassline), and my Fender Stratocaster (guitar). When recording the + guitar I put my vocal microphone up to the strings to capture the + raw sound as well which I mixed in along side the clean guitar. It + gave it this twang that it was missing. I also used some EQs all + around in my DAW to help things sit better.

Collab Tracks

+

I participate in a Discord group from Jay Hosking's Patreon. His YouTube channel is great and he makes a lot of + hardware and some in the box synth music! Please check it out! About + twice a year or so he runs a collaboration community event and we all + make tracks and then he streams them and collects them into a Bandcamp + release. Each of the tracks in this section will defer their copyright + to whatever is stated on bandcamp. Every release was for charity.

+

I seriously recommend listening to the rest of the tracks on the + album! They're always so fun! So many talented musicians contribute + and collaborate!

In Session

+
+
+
+ + Track details + +

This was a really fun one. I stumbled into this idea. Basically + a Maggot Brain style fuzz guitar solo with the samples providing + basically the backing track. It was a lot of fun. Fully + improvised.

Ancient Signals (Intermission)

+
+
+
+ + Track details + +

There isn't much to add with this one. I recorded the pads + using the Conductive Labs + NDLR. Which formed some just amazing chords. I used some + samples from my collab partner in the opening and end and as a + base for the entire track ­ it's mostly just like noise and + things like that. It's subtle in the final mix.
