Description : I think you will like this one! I have decided to stop concerning myself so much about vocals and just enjoy making the music. This is the first track that I have made that was intended as an instrumental and wasn't built around potential lyrics that I had in mind. Instead, on this track I decided I wanted to try creating a decent old fashion sounding steel guitar riff with my midi keyboard and some old soundfonts I have collected. I worked in some Sytrus action (like I love doing) and some cinematic sounding cello and choir. I really started liking how the digital instruments were sounding along with the traditional ones so I thought I would just go with it. Hence the name of the track. I hope it sounds as good to you as it did to me while I was making it. Please let me know what you think.

Description : After spending all of my 2 days off of work recording vocals for this track I have finally given up and decided just to post it without them. I just can't seem to sing the pitches I want to consistently, and I am very obsessive about quality in art works that I take seriously. It was meant to be a song about addiction and the chorus was going to start with "This is our last date my poisonous friend". I decided just to use the idea for the title, even though it doesn't have the vocals. If anyone is interested in trying to sing it, I would be happy to give the lyrics to you to give it a shot. Just ask in a review and I will put them as a reply. I chopped up and edited a drum loop off of an old Data Becker sample CD I bought from Comp USA, 8 years ago, when I first thought about trying to make music but just didn't take the time to learn to do it. It has the record player static in the loop, it is meant to be there, I liked how it sounded for this song. Other then that I did everything else in FL Studio 8. I hope you enjoy it, and sorry for failing at vocals for this one, it would have been spectacular with them.

Description : I haven't tried to do much in the Trance genre, but I have quite a few different Trance samples I really haven't ever made much use of. I decided to fool around and throw something together the other night. This is what I came up with. It isn't completely mixed and mastered to my standards and it kind of cuts off at the end so it really isn't what I would call finished. None the less, I felt like it was something worth sharing to get an idea of what people might think of it.

Description : Here is a song I have been working on for the past few days. I was building it with plans of writing lyrics and adding vocals, but the song never really spoke to me in the way that music does when it motivates me to add vocals. That is why I came up with the silly title for this one, "Teflon", because I just couldn't stick with it any longer. I spent enough time on it that I couldn't just scrap it, so I decided to share it as an instrumental track. I think it is at least a decent 2nd attempt of the new type of music I am working on. I have 2 more songs started now that I feel will be much more suiting for vocals. Never the less, I hope you enjoy it.

Description : This is a track I made fairly quick in comparison to most of the others. I used drum loops from a Drumkit From Hell CD and did the rest in FL Studio 8. It isn't a track that I am very proud of, but I had gotten too much done, before I decided I didn't like where it was going, to just scrap it. I thought I would at least share it with you all. Enjoy.

Description : Hey guys,
I have been busy lately, but I thought I would wrap up the latest song I was working on so you could hear it. It is under 2 min, but I thought it had a good sound. It is another one pretty much in the tradition of my normal cinematic sounding tracks; However, this one had a kind of Hip-Hop sound to it. There should be some decent loops someone can pull out of this and add some rap to, if they so desired. As usual I just grabbed the first crazy idea for a name that came to mind and threw it on there. I hope you enjoy it. Short and sweet.

Description : Thanks to Dyleon for the piano loop I used in this one, and Guikiller for one of the drum loops.

This is a fairly slow tempo and short song in my typical odd sounding Cinematic type fashion.

Description : Here is my first finished song. I hope you enjoy it!

I was planning on putting lyrics to it but quickly realized that singing isn't as easy as I had expected. It is somewhat of a metal song with a dance beat. I would appreciate any constructive criticism or opinions that you guys are willing to offer on it. Special thanks to Bilbozo and Rei4real for the guitar loops I used in it.

Description : As I was digging threw my old backup CDs looking for some soundfonts I made, I came across some old tracks I made about 5 or 6 years ago using Cool Edit Pro and some sample CDs I got at Comp USA. These were some of my first attempts to create music. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to them for the first time in all these years that they weren't completely terrible. I thought they might be worth sharing with you guys.
