Song #118: The Abbey Walls Based on: ‘Redwall Theme’ by Jack Procher & Daniel Fernandez Album: Covers Originally Created: October 2014 Duration: 01:21

2014 was a slow year in music for me. Due to not having access to a MIDI keyboard in my dorm, there were a few months when I didn’t have any practice at all. Then, during sembreak, when my best friend introduced me to the Redwall series, my parents got me a portable keyboard.

Put the two together. This was the first song I made with the mini keyboard, which I used to make all succeeding songs from then.

Song #103: A Sky of Fireflies Album: The Inside Hours Originally Created: December 2013 Duration: 03:28

I originally created this alongside a friend with the intent of putting lyrics, but we’ve long since drifted apart. The tune seems to describe its own creation.

Welcome to my blog; have a seat, and take a listen:

I’ve been making music as a hobby since 2011. I’ve gone on to do music for student films, and as commissions, but many of my personal songs, now a hundred plus, were never properly shared. This blog was a long time coming.

This track contains snippets of from some of my songs, each with weeks, even years between them, ranging from my teen ages, to a couple of months ago.

On this blog, I will be posting a major selection from my archives (including personal works, covers, commissions, and experimentals), with an indication of when they were originally finished, a small backstory about their creation, and an occasional picture (usually by @tribdinosaur [me], or another artist).

Thank you for listening, and enjoy your stay.

Song #111: Caravan Arriving at Bassorah Album: Commissioned Work, Vol. 2 & Benevolent Cosmos Originally Created: April 2014 Duration: 05:29

Song #051: Dancing in the Stars Album: Commissioned Work, Vol. 1 & Benevolent Cosmos Originally Created: May 2013 Duration: 05:54

Song #122: Benevolent Cosmos Album: Benevolent Cosmos Originally Created: February 2015 Duration: 04:27

Since I have to listen my songs over and over before I decide they’re done, I had never gotten the chance to hear a song of my own for the first time...until Benevolent Cosmos--

Technically, I did hear it at least once when I made it (around 2014), but apparently I abandoned it afterwards. I unearthed it in my files in 2015, and somehow couldn’t recall it at all, but I was sure it was my song.

Song #029: I’d Be Alone Tonight Album: The Inside Hours Originally Created: February 2013 Duration: 02:51

Song #026: And You’re All Invited Album: The Inside Hours Originally Created: December 2012 Duration: 0:41 (41 seconds)

I intended this to be the ‘universal intro segue’ or transition for my works. Theoretically, it would flow into any song of mine you pick next.
