Description : Most ambient track I've uploaded so-far. Meant to be a sort of palette cleanser interlude to an album. Just on a whim I decided to make it space themed and the piece basically just wrote itself after that. The radio bits are taken from Apollo 8, 11 and 12.

Unfortunately I couldn't find audio of my favorite quote from Apollo. Alan Bean, upon arriving in lunar orbit said: "Look at that Moon, b*gger! I'll tell you, I may be colourblind, but that looks gray as hell to me!"

Description : Hey everybody, sorry I haven't been around much lately. Been dealing with some stressful times. Nothing ridiculous, just the regular life stress we all have to deal with.

Managed to sit down and play out my thoughts a few days ago and decided to flesh it out with a few more instruments. Shorter and more chill than most of my stuff. You might hear a few imperfections and this is because I wanted to preserve as much of the original improv as I could.

Much love to everybody!

Description : I think Ben (Our resident BringerofDoom) has been rubbing off on me. Wanted to get back to my more technical, proggy side with this one.

It's tempting to over-explain it here. But you know what? I'm not gonna do that. Not going to tell you anything. Maybe except that one of my friends described it as, and I quote: “A Mike Oldfield fever dream.”

Description : The idea for this piece originated with, of all things, a quote from Harry Truman. He wrote: "Did you ever hear an overture played by a fine orchestra and imagined that things were as they ought to be instead of as they are?"

Musically this is some kind of unholy mix of film score, opera aria, electronics and American minimalism. But as usual, all meant very sincerely. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Description : Decided to do another cover, this one of an old Scissor Sisters song. I also thought that my vocals have been sounding a bit too clean/self-conscious lately. So this time around I decided to record them drunk. I dunno, do you think it worked? lol

Description : Decided that I wanted to return to the True Minimal area and explore that ambient space a little more. This time pulling more influence from the rock/electronic side of my influences.

Bonus points if you can tell me what band/album I'm quoting without looking it up.

Also, just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you. The LM community has been so kind and supportive. You all rock!

Description : Sorry I haven't been around much lately folks. Thought I'd throw on one of the projects I've been busy with, in this case a little commission I got for a youtube channel. A medieval focused costuming channel of all things. Really had to go back to my music history notes for this one.

This is meant to be background music so it's very ambient and somewhat repetitive. But... man... Amazing what we can do with DAWs nowadays isn't it?

Description : Song I wrote for a friend of mine, after a rather depressing phone call in which she blamed all of the problems in her life on her creative pursuits.

The mix is far from perfect. The lyrics are corny. My vocals are uninspiring. But it's all meant very sincerely. Do with that what you will lol

Description : My most experimental piece yet. And shamelessly self-indulgent. Be warned lol

Built around a simple little pattern I devised when teaching myself to think in 7/8, years and years ago. Bonus points if you can spot the 7:4 polyrhythm that appears in a few places.

Description : Another ambient track for youtube.

Description : My version of the 2nd national anthem of Canada.

Description : Ambient/Electronic Piece for a friend's youtube channel.

The title is an homage to one of my favorite composers. Bonus points if you can figure out which one. There's a hint posted nearby.

Description : Sufjan Stevens cover.

Description : A cover of Bowie's heroes, ala King Crimson. Although the arrangement was derived from a number of sources. Special thanks to guitarjock for his awesome drum loops.

It ain't perfect by any means, but it's my current skill level. Constructive criticism is most welcome.
