I've excited to announce I recently finished and sequenced this batch of songs for an album I've put up on the bandcamp page for you to freely download and check out. I'm really proud of this group of recordings, and really feel like I've expanded on myself as an artist and musician. The next stuff I work on is going in this abstract, ambient kind of thing, but I think I've learned a lot from really soaking in music theory and doing these more formal pieces and that's really gonna become a part of the arsenal going forward.

The new album is called "The Forms." Like I said, it's available for free on my bandcamp site. A link should be listed on but I'll leave it here as well:

Thanks to everybody on here who have encouraged me and listened. All of your kinds words meant a lot to me. My plays jumped about 3x's from 2013 to 2014, so I'm really happy with how the year has progressed, and I look forwards to exploring 2015. Again, my most sincerely thanks for listening and commenting. It means a lot to me.]]>

This track is a culmination of that practice. It's based around a few short motifs that find themselves in various voices throughout the piece. The piece starts in minor and works through various keys and modes before arriving at the parallel major. There's a tumultuous quality that moves with the piece before its eventual ending in a peaceful, almost innocent place.

It wasn't a conscious thing, though the piece got me thinking about the Western metaphysical idea of the return to the garden. Our knowledge and growth as individuals in a fallen world naturally creates a separation between the created and the creator, but we as human being are endowed with the rational means to return to the place where we are one with that which created us. This way is by no means easy, but it is an attainable path.

Pardon my simplified Super Soul Sunday. Art can be many things, including communion. Consider this some, albeit imperfect, attempt at that.

For those curious, you can look at the score here:

I had been working on Bach's Minuet in G for the last couple of weeks and I wanted to write something of a similar vein (3/4 time, modulate to dominant for second part, yadda yadda). I chose D because it's an easy scale to work with that doesn't have too many black keys, and I've always liked the A major anyway. Most of this was played. I'd been spending the last year or so sequencing on Ableton and I've wanted to work for a more intimate, "out of the box" sound, hence the field recording of a train by the house at the beginning. I really like this one and think it shows an integration of what I've been studying and working toward in terms of composition. Always further to go.]]>
