SOUNDTRACK

A spaghetti western tribute composition to Ennio Morricone as part of my “side” project. Features a lead guitar track also played on a Roli Seaboard, but this time with the Equator plugin. Produced in Logic Pro X.

A synthwave tribute to the late great composer Vangelis, most famous for his Blade Runner film score. Created with iPad Moog synth apps and an Akai Force, with reverb via Eventide’s Blackhole plugin.

A short approximation of a jazzy lo-fi piece I wrote many moons ago, long lost to the either. Produced in Logic Pro X using stock instruments.

This synthwave piece harkens back to 80s movie soundtracks - you know, when at those dramatic pivotal moments. Produced in Ableton, using algorithmic/probability-based Max for Live devices.

Produced in Reason 12, this film score-esque piece was my final project for the Sampling and Audio Production class @berkleeonline. Features the sampling of an old @casio_us from the 90s set to “Electric Organ.” The organ appears at the end of the piece and was run through @zynthian’s x42 Whirl Speaker (Leslie) sim plugin.


Ambient

Ethereal ambient piece produced in Logic Pro, with the further arrangement in Bitwig; mixed in Harrison Mixbus 32C. Features some parts performed on a Seaboard.

This ambient IDM track was also created for the Advanced Computer Music Composition course at NYU. I went with an A.I. theme because I used algorithmic music techniques to kickstart the track. I generated this track using Ableton Live, Reason 10 (via ReWire), and the Newscool (“Artificial Life” module in Reaktor).

Singer-Songwriter / Rock

Rock/Hip-Hop piece composed in Reason, arranged in Logic with further instrumentation, and final arrangement and mixing in Ableton Live. First song to feature my rapping.

Indie-folk rock song demo created and mixed in Logic Pro X in the Music Production Fundamentals for Songwriters course at @berkleeonline.

Blues

First record with my “new” Tele. Started playing guitar 8 months ago. This is a simple ditty I came up with while noodling around fingerstyle one day. Added drums from Logic. #telecaster #tele #Mississippi #blues #MississippiBlues #newmusic #newmusicalert #bayou #bayoublues #guitar #fingerstyleguitar

Guitar part recorded in Mixbus 32C 9; produced in Logic Pro X.

As a Pro Tools 101 project, it’s a reggae/surf rock instrumental that features a guitar track performed on a Roli Seaboard with the Air Xpand!2 plugin.
