Fallouty

With all the buzz surrounding the fallout 3 game prior to launch, a bunch of people on the bethesda forums started posting fanmusic. I got caught up in it and started experimenting with organic sound, texture and tribal sounds. This is the result of that session. I did not post it.

Cinematic

Researching the Korg KARMA for purchase, I got swept up in some of the demonstration tracks. Especially one that was called cinematic or something (I can’t find a link to it anymore). This was my attempt at replicating the sound and motif (with the KARMA, which I, of course, ended up purchasing).

Future Scream

This must be one of the earliest tracks I did with the KARMA, which was pretty cool, but I could never figure out how to progress from it.

Echo

Me playing with echo filters and C64 SID-ish sound. I believe I used KARMA MW software to generate some of the arps, which is pretty cool, but poor integration with Cubase made me not really use it much.

Familiar Drum’n'Bass

Some tangerine dreams-like drum’n'bass music which I’ve probably subconsciously ripped off from someone.

Funky Drum’n'Bass with Electric Piano

I heard a dnb track from a friend called DemonSeed, which was pretty awesome (sorry, still no links, I’ll have to get better at researching, keeping stuff). This track was inspired by it and probably copies a bit of the arrangement, but with a slightly sinister streak.

Tingaling

Again, a not very original drum’n'bass composition filled with endless clichés. But listening to it again makes me think I definitely need to use more compressed drums in my songs.

Lush & Logon

Ambient snippets which I hope to someday use in a game in some form or other.

Green

This is a track I wrote for a group I used to be in called 7am, which never really took off. Project start-up misfires seem to be the bane of my life, but then I partake in so many.

Approach

I think this track got 3rd or 2nd place in some lan party competition or other.

Final Cut

This track got 1st place at some lan party competition.

Construction Zone

I made this song for a Portal map that whoiscraig was making. I tried to replicate some of the sound of Portal’s music, but mostly got carried away. He didn’t use it as far as I know, even though he said it sounded great.
