New Projects

I have a couple of very exciting new projects in mind I would like to work on. Before the release of Black and Basic in November you will most likely see these two new projects on the listener page. One will be a very dark and ambient piece, packaged with Walking with Myths; The album has yet to be given a name. My original intention of continuing the False Sun album has all but died due to content. However, the remaining tracks will become part of one of the three discs shipped with WWM. The album will be as dark as my creativity can conjure and demo some of the best mood setting material I have ever done (IMO). WWM will be broken up into multiple flash players covering the three CD’s that make it up.
The second project will be a very hard album with loads of distortion and heavy guitar riffs. I am trying to branch out into an action environment and demonstrate my own signature ideas in an Industrial environment. I look forward to bringing these two projects on the site.

Serenity – New on Walking with Myths

I uploaded a short sample of one of the tracks on Walking with Myths. It’s called “Serenity,” and like the name says it is a very serene and smooth track. Something you might just push play on and relax to. Be sure to check it out and tell me what you think.

Black Vase and Epiphany on WWM
Walking with Myths Updates No Comments 80 views
I added a couple new songs to the Walking with Myths lineup. Black Vase is a very “philosophically reaching” piece and Epiphany is more of a subtle atmospheric type song. Both are very simple and straight-forward tracks.

Unsettling Paradigm and Twisted Analogy
Walking with Myths Updates No Comments 120 views
I added two tracks to the WWM audio player. Unsettling Paradigm is a dive into electronic-based euphoria. The song was written around one simple motif that I played over and over until layers began to form over it. The choirs are all Omnisphere and attempt to set a large background in a cut-scene like style. This one is in dire need of some imagery to accompany it. The soft humming of the choirs and the guitar melodies strive to paint a fantasy-like world in upheaval – going in and out of memories and making quick and subtle transitions of consciousness of the main character. Then it snaps back into the main motif as the song fades out.
Twisted Analogy was actually a last minute workup I did on an old idea. It isn’t quite finished, but it took a nice little shape after some tweaking. Some of the older songs I wrote with low-quality VSTi’s as a placeholder of sorts are more trouble to re-arrange than I expected in the beginning. It’s hard to re-imagine them with better instruments, although you would think otherwise – they have taken a shape that I seem to break when re-arranging. At any rate, Twisted Analogy started as a very smooth and repetitive atmospheric piece which later included sparse guitars and Egyptian stringed instrument samples for variation. It tries to capture both a melancholic and beautiful air simultaneously while moving subversively through both.
These will be the last two tracks I make available on Walking with Myths until after I release Logos and The Darkness. With so many projects going on simultaneously, I easily lose focus on the themes of older works and can do them no justice in the later mixing and post-production phases. That’s why a musician should never try to “master” their own work. I have probably cut and twisted The Darkness beyond all recognition of its original form because of second thoughts and last minute changes that lead on forever. When April comes though – both albums will be finished and ready for the public. The demos for both will change in late March to reflect the new mixes.

Home – WWM Track
Walking with Myths Updates No Comments 109 views
I added a little soundtrack piece to the WWM audio player. It’s still in the works, but I uploaded the first minute of material for you to listen to. It’s a dynamic piece that flows from a light mellow-hearted atmosphere into a more exotic and eastern theme. I have a few pitched ethnic instruments I am adding to the mix – it’s hard working with pitched ethnic instruments from a MIDI standpoint, at least for me. Enjoy the song and don’t forget to tell me what you think.
