Grungy synthesizer tune that I made. First thing I wrote with my new keyboard. Especially had lots of fun using the pitch wheel to change tones.

I woke up from a long nap and was feeling very relaxed and calm, and wrote this very chill instrumental piano and acoustic guitar melody.

Just got a pan flute for my birthday! This is a simple test recording, hopefully this will encourage me to get much better.

Got inspired to write an original tune over the weekend. Decided to utilize the looping feature of my line 6 podHD500x

Didn't  have a lot of time so I did a simple creepy look

Pretty great playlist I found at work.

Lately I've been just working on my guitar techniques, and haven't written any music in a long time. Last night I just picked up my guitar and wrote a little song that kind of just came out of me organically. I'm going to try and see if I can write small songs like this more often, more just ideas that I can then expand on later, rather than trying to conceive of an epic 11 minute song. I hope that this approach will help to make my song writing more creative. 

Opeth style riff that I came up with.

Been loving this new-old band that I discovered, Eloy, unfortunately although they have 18 albumns, they are a pretty obscure band and there exist almost no guitar tabs for them, so I spent a long time tabbing this song out. Castle in the Air, from their second albumn, Floating.

One of my favorite songs off the new Satyricon albumn. 

Really liking this guy's music

One of my favorite songs by Ihsahn, this is Scarab.
